Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical installation take?
Most residential security installations are completed within one to two days. Larger commercial projects involving extensive cabling, multiple access points, or complex integration with fire safety systems may take a week or more. We provide a specific timeline once the site survey is complete.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance and support?
Yes, we provide comprehensive maintenance packages for both new and existing systems. Regular servicing ensures that cameras are clean and aligned, batteries are functional, and software is updated to protect against cyber threats. Professional maintenance is often a requirement for insurance validity.
Are there any legal or planning requirements for CCTV?
In the UK, residential CCTV generally does not require planning permission unless the property is a listed building or in a conservation area. However, for commercial sites, you must comply with GDPR and data protection laws regarding how you store and use footage of the public.
What is the average cost of a security system?
Every project and building layout is different. Costs vary based on the number of cameras, the type of sensors required, and whether you choose a wired or wireless configuration. We provide fixed-price quotes after assessing your property.
Can security systems be integrated with other smart technology?
Absolutely. We often integrate security with a broader Smart Home Installation. This allows your security sensors to communicate with your lighting, HVAC, and automated locks, creating a more responsive and energy-efficient environment.
