Which camera goes where

Every system is a mix. Tap through the types Aaron fits and what each one is for.

Turret cameras

The camera we fit most. Small, easy to aim, colour night vision and a built in light or speaker on some models. Sits under a soffit and covers a drive, a path or a garden.

Resolution: 4K or 4MP
Night vision: Colour, with IR backup
Best for: Drives, paths, gardens
Alerts: People and vehicles only

Dome cameras

A dome hides which way the lens is pointing and shrugs off knocks, so it suits side entrances, shops and anywhere within reach. Same 4K picture in a tougher shell.

Resolution: 4K or 4MP
Housing: IK10 vandal resistant
Best for: Entrances, shops, low mounts
Alerts: People and vehicles only

PTZ camera with beacon at a commercial yard

PTZ cameras

One camera that turns, tilts and zooms to follow movement across a yard or a large garden. Can patrol preset positions and fire a beacon or a voice warning when it sees someone.

Zoom: Up to 25x optical
Tracking: Auto follows people and vehicles
Best for: Yards, farms, large plots
Extras: Beacon and two way audio

Video doorbell and camera at a front door

Video doorbells

See and speak to whoever is at the door from your phone or the hallway panel. We wire them in so they never drop off the WiFi, and tie them into the same app as the cameras.

Power: Wired, no batteries
Talk: Two way audio
Best for: Front doors, gates
Works with: Your cameras and alarm

Thermal detection

Thermal cameras spot a rise in temperature before smoke or flame, which makes them ideal over battery chargers, workshops and stored equipment. Also picks out people in total darkness.

Detects: Heat signatures
Range: Up to 100 metres
Best for: Workshops, lockups, chargers
Alerts: Temperature threshold

Cameras that show you who it was, not a grey shape

A cheap camera tells you something happened. A properly specified and positioned system gives you a face, a number plate and a recording you can hand to the police. We use Uniview, an authorised range with colour night vision and smart detection, and we position every camera for coverage rather than convenience.

4K and 4MP cameras with colour night vision, no grainy black and white footage
Smart detection that alerts you for people and vehicles, not cats and headlights
Recorder with 30 days or more of storage, or cloud backup if you prefer
Two way audio on cameras that need it, so you can talk to a delivery driver
Cabling hidden along soffits and through walls, made good, no trailing wires

How a CCTV install works

Free survey

Aaron walks the outside of the property with you, works out where the risks are and where cameras need to look.

Design and price

A written quote listing every camera, its position and what it covers, with the recorder and storage included.

Install day

Cameras fitted, cables run and hidden, recorder set up. A four camera home system is usually done in a day.

Handover

App set up on your phone and anyone else's who needs it, alerts tuned so they are useful, and a walk through of playback.

CCTV for homes and businesses

Every system is designed around your property. These are the setups Kent customers ask for most.

Home CCTV

Two to six cameras covering the front, the drive, the back garden and the side return. Alerts on your phone and a recorder tucked away in a cupboard.

Doorbell and gate cameras

Video doorbells and gate cameras with two way talk, integrated with the rest of your system rather than a separate app.

Business CCTV

Warehouses, yards, shops and offices with PTZ cameras that track movement, number plate capture and remote monitoring.

Upgrades

Old analogue or 7 year old IP systems replaced with 4K on the same cable runs. Better picture, better app, no mess.

Thermal and fire detection

Thermal cameras that warn you before a fire starts, ideal for lockups, workshops and outbuildings with equipment in them.

Privacy and compliance

Privacy masking for neighbouring properties, signage and retention settings that keep a business on the right side of the rules.

CCTV installation questions

Do I need planning permission or to tell my neighbours?

No permission is needed for domestic CCTV. Cameras should be positioned so they mainly cover your own property, and where a camera unavoidably sees a neighbour or the street we set privacy masks so those areas are blanked in the recording.

Can I view the cameras from my phone?

Yes. Every system we install comes with an app for iPhone and Android. You can watch live, review recordings, get alerts and talk through cameras that have audio. Aaron sets it up on your phone before leaving.

How much does CCTV cost in Kent?

A four camera 4K home system with a recorder, installed and set up, is typically from around £1,100. Two camera systems and doorbell add ons start lower. Business systems are quoted per site after a survey. Every quote is itemised.

Will the cameras work at night?

Yes. The Uniview cameras we fit use colour night vision, so you get full colour footage in low light rather than black and white. In total darkness they switch to infrared and still capture clear detail.

Can you upgrade my old system?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs. Old analogue and early IP cameras can usually be replaced with 4K cameras on the existing cable runs, so there is minimal disruption and a huge jump in quality.

Do you install Ring, Nest or cameras I have bought?

Yes. If you have bought consumer cameras we will install them properly and get them on a stable WiFi signal, which is the bit that usually goes wrong. For anything more than a couple of cameras we would recommend a wired Uniview system and explain why.
