Service overview
What cctv & security installation actually involves.
What it is, CCTV systems combine IP cameras (typically 4MP–8MP) with a network video recorder, PoE switching, secure remote access and intelligent analytics (line-crossing, intrusion, vehicle/person classification).
Who it's for, Homeowners after a break-in, landlords protecting communal areas of HMOs, retailers reducing shoplifting, light industrial sites protecting yard plant, and event venues needing crowd-monitoring coverage.
When you need it, After a break-in or attempted entry, when insurance demands monitored coverage for a discount, at every commercial fit-out, and as part of any HMO or holiday-let install for tenant and guest accountability.
Why it matters, Visible CCTV deters opportunist crime by a documented 30–60% (Home Office research). Recorded footage with timestamps and night-vision provides admissible evidence for police and insurance claims.
What happens if you delay
The cost of putting it off.
Common, concrete consequences we see across the Fylde Coast every month, not scare tactics, just what's documented.
- 1
Cheap analogue kit with 1080p sensors produces footage too poor to identify a face beyond 5 metres, useless for prosecution.
- 2
Cloud-only systems with no local recording lose footage the moment the internet drops, exactly when intruders cut the line.
- 3
Default factory passwords on internet-exposed NVRs make CCTV the easiest entry point for ransomware on a business network.
- 4
Coverage gaps from poorly-planned camera placement leave the side gate, the bin store and the rear of the property unwatched.
- 5
Domestic-grade kit installed in commercial settings without correct GDPR signage breaches ICO requirements immediately.
Our process
A five-step system, no surprises.
Step 1
On-site inspection
We attend the property, photograph the existing installation and confirm the scope in person, never quoting blind from a phone call.
Step 2
Written diagnosis & fixed quote
You receive a clear breakdown by email: what we'll do, the parts used, the certificate issued, and a fixed price with no day-rate surprises.
Step 3
Scheduled installation
Booked into a confirmed slot with a named lead electrician. We turn up on time, in branded vans, with the materials on board.
Step 4
Testing & certification
Every install is tested under BS 7671 and signed off with the relevant NICEIC / Part P certificate uploaded to your portal.
Step 5
Aftercare & 12-month guarantee
12 months on workmanship plus manufacturer warranties on parts. One phone number, Alex or Jack, for anything that needs revisiting.

Specification & method
How we deliver, in detail.
We design and install Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview IP camera systems on PoE switches with NVR storage, typically 4–16 channel domestic and 16–32 channel commercial.
Materials & equipment
- Hikvision AcuSense 4MP/8MP bullet, turret and dome cameras with built-in IR to 30m+
- Hikvision NVR4-channel to NVR-K series 32-channel with RAID storage
- PoE+ switches (Hikvision, Cisco SG, TP-Link), class 4/5/6 depending on camera draw
- Cat6 UTP for indoor runs, Cat6 outdoor-rated UV/SWA for external runs
Method & standards
- Site survey with sight-line analysis, every camera placed for both deterrent visibility and evidential coverage
- All NVR access secured: strong passwords, TLS, geo-restricted remote access
- Storage sized for 30+ days retention (commercial standard) or 14+ days (typical domestic)
- Maintenance access via secure VPN tunnel rather than open port forwarding
Variations of this service
- Domestic 4–6 camera systems with mobile alerts
- Commercial 8–32 camera systems with operator workstations
- Wireless ANPR systems for car parks and gate-entry control
- Bodycam and panic-alarm integration for retail and lone-worker scenarios
Where it applies on the Fylde Coast
- Detached and semi-detached homes, 4 camera typical (front, rear, side, drive)
- HMOs, communal-area-only cameras with tenant signage and GDPR notice
- Retail and hospitality, counter, stockroom, exits, customer area for shoplifting and slip claims
- Industrial yards, perimeter ANPR plus thermal cameras for night-time intrusion detection
Residential vs commercial
Domestic CCTV typically uses 4–6 cameras, single NVR and 14-day retention. Commercial moves to 8–32 cameras, RAID-protected NVRs, 30+ day retention, ICO/GDPR compliance documentation and often remote monitoring station integration.
