Privacy Views masked where they overlook neighbours; commercial systems set up with signage and sensible retention.

Common questions

CCTV · Answered straight

Do I need planning permission? Rarely. Cameras overlooking a neighbour's property raise data protection and signage points we advise on at survey.

Can I view cameras remotely? Yes — app access is set up on your phone before we leave, on every system.

What happens in a power cut? Recording is local, not internet-dependent. Battery backup is available if continuous uptime matters to you.

Cameras + alarm

The strongest setups combine both. An alarm announces the intrusion; the cameras record it. We design and install the two together so one survey covers everything.
