    Who is this for?

    For homeowners, landlords, small business owners, and property managers across Luton, Bedford, St Albans, and surrounding areas who want clear, reliable CCTV footage they can access from their phone — day or night.

    • Homeowners wanting to protect driveways, gardens, and entrances
    • Landlords securing rental properties and HMOs
    • Small shops, takeaways, and retail units
    • Offices, workshops, and light industrial units
    • Schools, nurseries, and community buildings
    • Car parks, yards, and external storage areas

    Security problems our CCTV installations solve

    • Your property has no CCTV and you have already experienced theft, attempted break-ins, or anti-social behaviour
    • Existing cameras are old analogue units producing blurry, unusable footage that police and insurers cannot work with
    • You have blind spots around side gates, rear gardens, or parking areas that are not covered
    • There is no remote viewing — you cannot check your cameras from work, on holiday, or while away from the property
    • Your insurer has asked for professionally installed CCTV with a commissioning certificate and you do not have one
    • You bought a DIY CCTV kit online but the image quality is poor, the app does not work reliably, and the install looks messy

    What is included in every CCTV installation

    Free Site Survey & System Design

    One of our engineers visits your property, maps every angle, and designs camera positions to eliminate blind spots. We use Hikvision's IVMS design tools to plan coverage before we drill a single hole.

    Hikvision, Dahua or Uniview IP Cameras

    We install trusted brands — not generic white-label cameras. Choose from Hikvision ColorVu for full-colour night vision, Dahua WizSense with smart motion detection, or Uniview for cost-effective 4K coverage.

    4K & 2K Resolution Options

    Every camera we install records at a minimum of 2MP (1080p). Most of our residential installs now use 4MP or 8MP (4K) cameras for sharp, evidential-quality footage — even when zoomed in.

    NVR with 30+ Days Storage

    A commercial-grade Hikvision or Dahua network video recorder with enough hard drive capacity for at least 30 days of continuous recording. We size the storage to match the number of cameras and resolution.

    Hik-Connect or DMSS Remote Viewing

    View live cameras and play back recordings from your phone using the Hik-Connect app (Hikvision) or DMSS app (Dahua). We set up accounts for you and your family or staff on the day of install.

    Professional Cabling & Containment

    Cat6 network cables run through neat white or grey trunking, clipped along fence lines, or routed through loft spaces. We take pride in tidy cable runs — no loose wires hanging off walls.

    Scope of works

    Our qualified engineers carry out the following as standard:

    Detailed site survey with risk assessment and camera position planning
    Cable routing design to minimise visible cabling on the property
    Cat6 network cable installation with containment and weatherproofing
    Camera mounting on walls, soffits, poles, or brackets as required
    NVR installation, hard drive fitting, and network configuration
    Hik-Connect or DMSS app setup on all phones and tablets
    Camera alignment, image tuning, and night vision testing
    Full system commissioning with playback and motion detection tests
    Client handover with walkthrough of live viewing, playback, and exporting clips
    Warranty registration and documentation pack

    Frequently asked questions

    How many CCTV cameras do I need for my house?
    Most 3-bed semi-detached homes in Luton and Bedford need 3 to 5 cameras to cover the front door, driveway, rear garden, and side access. Larger properties or detached homes with multiple access points may need 6 to 8. We work this out during the free site survey.
    Which is better — Hikvision or Dahua?
    Both are excellent. Hikvision offers the best smart detection with AcuSense and the best night vision with ColorVu. Dahua's WizSense range is very competitive on price and performs well. We recommend the right brand based on your budget, property layout, and what features matter most to you.
    What is Hikvision ColorVu and is it worth it?
    ColorVu cameras produce full-colour images at night instead of the usual black-and-white infrared footage. This makes it far easier to identify people, clothing colours, and vehicle details after dark. For front-of-house cameras, we almost always recommend ColorVu — it is a significant upgrade for a small price difference.
    Can I view my CCTV cameras on my phone?
    Yes. Every system we install includes remote viewing via the Hik-Connect app (Hikvision) or DMSS app (Dahua). You can watch live footage, play back recordings, and save clips directly to your phone from anywhere with an internet connection.
    How long does a home CCTV installation take?
    Most residential installations with 4 to 6 cameras are completed in a single day. Larger properties or those requiring extensive cable routing may take a day and a half. We confirm the schedule during the survey.
    How long is CCTV footage stored for?
    We configure every system for a minimum of 30 days continuous recording. This can be extended to 60 or 90 days by fitting a larger hard drive. We recommend the right storage capacity during the survey based on camera count and resolution.
    Will a CCTV system reduce my insurance premium?
    Many home and business insurers offer reduced premiums for properties with professionally installed CCTV. We provide a commissioning certificate on completion which you can send to your insurer as proof of installation.
    Do you install CCTV in rented properties and HMOs?
    Yes. We regularly install CCTV for landlords across Luton, Bedford, and Dunstable — covering communal areas, entrances, and parking areas. We ensure installations comply with data protection requirements and are clearly signed.
