Roger has been installing AV and security systems for over 30 years. Every CCTV job gets the same approach as our TV and aerial work: cables run neatly, equipment chosen for reliability, and nothing left half-finished.

How CCTV Installation Works

1. Free Site Survey

Roger visits your property to walk the perimeter with you, identify the areas you want covered, and discuss camera positions. This is also when we work out the cable routes and decide on the best location for the recorder — usually inside a cupboard, garage or dedicated equipment cabinet.

2. Installation

Cameras are fixed to walls, soffits or poles using heavy-duty brackets. Cables are run as neatly as possible — clipped along fascias, through roof spaces, or chased into walls where appearance matters. The recorder is installed and connected, and all cameras are tested for picture quality and night vision range before we move on.

3. Setup and Handover

We configure motion detection zones, set the recording schedule, and get the remote viewing app working on your phone. We show you how to check live footage, review recordings, and what to do if a camera goes offline. Most CCTV installations are completed within a day.

Areas Covered

We cover a 30-mile radius from Colchester for CCTV installation, including Chelmsford, Braintree, Maldon, Witham, Clacton, Ipswich, Brentwood, Loughton and the surrounding areas. Get in touch to check availability in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CCTV installation cost?
Cost depends on the number of cameras, cable runs, and recorder type. A typical 4-camera residential system with a recorder starts from around £400–£600 fully installed. We provide a fixed price before starting any work — no call-out charge and no obligation.
How many cameras do I need?
Most homes are well covered by 2–4 cameras positioned at the front door, back garden, side access and driveway. We assess your property during the free survey and recommend the right number of cameras and the best positions for each one.
Can I view my cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. All systems we install support live viewing and playback via a smartphone app. We set this up for you before we leave so you can check your property from anywhere with an internet connection.
Do I need planning permission for CCTV?
In most cases, no. Domestic CCTV does not require planning permission. Cameras should be angled to cover your own property rather than public areas or neighbouring gardens, and a visible notice informing visitors that CCTV is in use is recommended.
Do you install wireless CCTV cameras?
We can install wireless systems, but wired is generally more reliable and less prone to interference. For most residential and commercial properties, we recommend a wired HD system with cables run as neatly as possible.
