CCTV that covers what matters
Good CCTV depends on more than choosing a camera. Position, lighting, viewing angles, connectivity and recording all affect the result. We plan these elements around your property and explain how the finished system will work before installation.
Thoughtful camera positioning
We look at entrances, paths, gardens, garages and other vulnerable areas to create useful coverage while considering neighbours and privacy.
Remote viewing made simple
Where supported by the chosen system, you can view live and recorded footage from your phone or tablet. We configure access and show you how to use it.
Recording and image quality
The right setup balances image detail, night performance and recording capacity. We recommend equipment based on the areas you need to see rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
What you can expect
- Indoor and outdoor camera options
- Day and night coverage
- Phone and tablet viewing
- Secure recording options
- Professional setup and demonstration
CCTV after a break-in or attempted break-in
If you need cameras fitted urgently, tell us what happened and which areas concern you. We offer same-day or next-day security installations where availability, equipment and the job allow. For locksmith support, alarms and a coordinated plan, see our Edinburgh break-in security service.
What your CCTV installation involves
We agree the areas to cover, camera positions, cable routes, recording equipment and access from your phone before installation. We test the agreed views and recording, configure supported remote access and show you how to find and export footage.
For an Edinburgh flat, the priority may be your own entrance; for a house, it may include the front door, driveway or rear access. We discuss suitable views and privacy with you before choosing positions.
How many cameras do I need?
That depends on the layout and the views you need. Tell us about the entrances and outdoor areas you want to cover. We recommend positions around those priorities rather than choosing a camera count first.
Will the cameras work at night?
Night-time results depend on the camera, lighting, distance and position. We explain the options for the equipment proposed and check the views as part of setting up the system.
How much does CCTV installation cost?
The camera count, equipment, cable routes and storage requirements affect the price. We provide a quotation for your property and explain any applicable ongoing charges before you agree.
Can I use CCTV alongside an alarm?
Yes. Cameras provide a view of activity; an alarm provides detection and alerts according to its configuration. We can discuss both as part of your home security, including Ajax alarm installation.
