CCTV installation in Hertfordshire & Essex

Systems built around your property

A camera in the wrong place is worse than no camera at all. Before quoting we walk the property and work out where people approach from, where the light falls, and what you need to see: faces at the door, vehicles on the drive, or a wide view of a yard.

We then specify cameras to suit. Turret and dome cameras for discreet coverage on domestic frontages, bullet cameras where a visible deterrent helps, and ColorVu cameras where you need usable colour footage after dark rather than grainy black and white.

Resolution that is useful

We install HD and 4K systems. Higher resolution matters most when you need to zoom into recorded footage after the event: a 4K camera covering a driveway will give you a readable number plate where a lower-resolution one gives you a blur.

Recording is handled by a DVR or NVR sized for the number of cameras and how long you want to keep footage. We will talk through retention honestly: two weeks is plenty for most homes, while businesses often want a month or more.

Remote viewing and alerts

Every system we install can be viewed from a smartphone app, so you can check the property from anywhere. Motion detection can push alerts to your phone, and modern systems can distinguish between a person, a vehicle and a cat, which makes alerts something you keep switched on.

Neat workmanship

Most installations let themselves down on the cable, not the cameras. We run it through lofts, along mortar lines and behind downpipes so the finished job looks like it belongs on the building. On a rendered or period frontage that usually means a longer route through the roof space rather than the quick run down the outside wall.
