Home CCTV Systems in London

What Home CCTV Can Cover

A typical London home CCTV installation includes cameras covering the front door and main entrance, the rear garden and back gate, the driveway and any side passages. Internal cameras can be added in garages, outbuildings or communal hallways for flats. We always advise homeowners on camera placement to maximise coverage while respecting neighbours' privacy under GDPR.

All our domestic CCTV systems include infrared night vision as standard — vital for the early morning and evening hours when most London burglaries occur. Smart motion detection zones allow you to set alert areas precisely, reducing false alerts from trees, traffic or animals.

Home CCTV vs DIY Cameras

Off-the-shelf cameras from DIY retailers seem cost-effective until you consider ongoing subscription fees for cloud storage, limited customer support and poor image quality. Professionally installed systems store footage locally on a secure DVR/NVR unit, produce higher-resolution imagery and come with a genuine warranty supported by a local engineer.
