There is a lot to CCTV Installation and choosing the right installer can make or break the experience.

Not all CCTV Installers are the same. This guide will show you the steps to take and simplify the process so you can feel confident that the CCTV Installers you have chosen will deliver a high quality system and a professional installation.

Understand Your Security Requirements

A good CCTV Installer will take the time to discuss with you the purpose of the installation, and from that understanding be able to best advise on the different CCTV systems and cameras available as well as determine the best locations to get the exact coverage you need.

Important Questions to have Answered.

Distances Involved: If the cameras need to look long distances, down a driveway or across a long garden then standard cameras might not be sufficient. HD Cameras or Vari-focal lenses should be used instead.

Field of View: When cameras are adjusted to look long distances they cannot also see a wide field of vision. Understanding the capabilities and specific uses for each type of camera allows for the correct selection of CCTV Camera and makes the installation a success.

Recording Length: If you need a long record time or may be away from the property at length, you should discuss this with the CCTV Installer so they can provide sufficient memory in the CCTV Recorder to cover as long as you might need. CCTV Systems can be set up to cover from as little as a week up to many months worth of continuous recording. This would be a vital factor in the set up.

Remote Access: Most systems come with a link to allow you to access the system through your internet via your phone or computer. Make sure the system you order has this function if it is what you want.

Motion Alerts: Some better systems can be set up with motion detection. This will send an alert whenever motion is detected by the cameras, such as an intruder entering your grounds. This alerts your phone and sends you an image so you can immediately either call the police or deal with it appropriately.
Motion settings can be tricky to set up and avoid too many false alerts. A good CCTV installer will understand this and be able to provide the very best detection equipment to make this technology available to you.

A CCTV Installer Needs Good Communication

When dealing with a CCTV Company that doesn't respond in a timely manner, or shows an unprofessional telephone manner when called, puts people off immediately. A professional well run CCTV Installation company should respond to calls quickly and answer your questions fully and professionally.

Good communication from the company is a fair indication of the professionalism of the company and the CCTV Installation you can expect.

Testimonials and Reviews

Are there testimonials on the website? Or Social Media? What do people have to say about the company and the works completed. Good reviews count for a lot.

Warranty

Ensure your CCTV Installer provides a good warranty. We offer a 2 year warranty on all equipment to provide peace of mind and confidence that you are getting high quality equipment.

Payment

Requests for payments up front are not unusual. But ideally you would only pay for the system and service once you are completely happy that it does exactly what you want it to do and have been installed to your complete satisfaction. That is why we never ask for up front fees or deposits and only submit an invoice for payment once all works are complete and the customer has confirmed they are fully satisfied.

Installation Dates:

Often when you need CCTV Installed, it can be after an incident; break in or property damage to yours or a neighbours property. You don't want to wait weeks before getting the security cover you need.

We aim to install within 3-5 days for all customers and in extreme cases will even aim for within 24 hours installation, so that not another day goes by without the security and safety that CCTV can provide.

When looking after your home, your family, your business timely installation is vital.
