What a home or small business CCTV system includes

A home system is a set of cameras covering the doors, the drive and the garden, a recorder with a hard drive that keeps the footage, the cabling between them, and the app on your phone for live view and playback.

A small business system uses the same building blocks with more to cover, from entrances, tills or reception to the yard, the car park and the perimeter. It often needs footage kept for longer, and sometimes ANPR on a vehicle entrance. Our commercial CCTV page covers that side in more detail.

What moves the cost is the number of cameras, how far the cable has to run and how hard the cameras are to reach, the type of camera, especially for clear pictures at night, and how long the footage needs keeping, which sets the size of the drive. We survey before quoting, and the estimate is free.

Why Bespoke

Done properly, first time

We fit digital and IP camera systems for homes, shops, offices, industrial units and blocks of flats, chosen for what each camera needs to see rather than from a fixed package.

It is now unusual to find an installation that cannot be operated remotely. With automated triggers and instant video alerts you know immediately when something happens, with visibility and control over your property even when you're away. We connect a wide range of smart devices into a single, intuitive mobile app.

Based in Aylesford and covering Maidstone, we are centrally placed for Kent and the South East.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of installing CCTV on my property?

A CCTV system gives you 24/7 monitoring for your home or business, deters theft, vandalism and trespassing, lets you view live footage remotely from your phone or computer, and records evidence for insurance claims or legal matters. A professionally installed system gives you peace of mind and complete control over your security.

Can I view my CCTV cameras remotely on my phone or computer?

Yes. Our CCTV systems come with remote viewing, so you can access live and recorded footage from your smartphone, tablet or computer. Whether you're at home, at work or on holiday, you can check your cameras anytime through a secure mobile app.

How long does CCTV footage get stored, and can it be accessed later?

Storage depends on your system's hard-drive capacity and recording settings. Most systems keep footage for 7 to 30 days, and options like cloud storage or external drives can extend this. Important recordings can be retrieved and backed up for future use.

How much does it cost to install a CCTV system?

Cost depends on the type of cameras, the number of units, and features such as remote access and motion-detection alerts. Whether it's a home system or a large commercial setup, we'll provide a tailored quote. Get in touch for a free estimate.

What is the best type of CCTV camera for night vision?

For superior night vision, ColorVu cameras are the best choice, with full-colour footage 24/7 even in low light. They're ideal for homes, businesses and high-security areas where clear, real-time monitoring matters.
