Frequently Asked Questions

How much does CCTV installation cost?
A basic 4-camera system with installation costs £300–£800 for residential. Business systems with higher-spec cameras and recorders cost £500–£3,000+. IP cameras with cloud storage add ongoing costs.
Do I need permission to install CCTV?
For home CCTV, no permission needed unless in a listed building. If cameras capture public areas or neighbours' property, you must comply with GDPR and display signage.
What is the difference between analogue and IP CCTV?
IP (digital) cameras offer higher resolution, remote viewing, and better integration with smart home systems. Analogue is simpler and cheaper but lower quality. Most new installations use IP.
How long is CCTV footage stored?
Typically 30 days for most systems. GDPR recommends storing no longer than necessary. Commercial systems often retain 90 days, some critical infrastructure up to a year.
