System Design & Planning
We begin by assessing your site – assessing lighting, camera sight-lines, coverage areas, access points, IT infrastructure and user requirements. We design a system that works for your space in London or Kent, including planning permissions or licensing needs where applicable.
Installation & Configuration
Our technicians install high-definition cameras (HD & 4K), NVR/DVR systems, network-enabled remote access and integrate mobile alerts. We also offer AI-enhanced cameras with active deterrents (for example, flashing lights and audio warnings) to stop unwanted behaviour before it escalates.
Remote Monitoring & Access
Access your live feed or recorded footage from your smartphone, tablet or PC.
Manage user permissions, view playback, receive motion alerts or tamper-notifications no matter where you are.
Maintenance, Upgrades & Service Contracts
Security systems evolve – whether because of regulatory changes, increased premises size or new threats. We offer annual service contracts, system health checks and upgrade options to keep your CCTV system in London or Kent performing optimally.

FAQs
Do I need planning permission to install CCTV?
In many residential cases you don’t, but if your property is in a Conservation Area, converted HMO, or you’re installing multiple external cameras you should check with your local borough. We handle this on your behalf across Kent and London boroughs.
What’s the retention period for CCTV footage?
We design systems meeting your needs and any regulatory requirements. Typically we recommend at least 30-day rolling retention for commercial sites, and 7-14 days for residential.
Can the system integrate with existing intruder alarms or access control?
Yes – we work with full security systems. We have experience integrating our CCTV systems with intruder alarms, fire systems, and access control setups throughout London and Kent.
What about data protection and GDPR?
All systems are installed with compliance in mind. Cameras are positioned to respect privacy, signage is provided, and our installations follow UK GDPR where applicable (for businesses or communal properties).
How long does a CCTV installation take?
Most residential CCTV systems in London or Kent can be installed within a single day. Larger commercial or multi-site installations may take 2–3 days, depending on cabling, access points, and system size. We’ll confirm a timescale during your free site survey.
Can I view my CCTV remotely on my phone?
Yes — all of our modern CCTV systems include secure remote access. You can watch live footage, review recordings, and receive motion alerts directly from your smartphone, tablet, or desktop, wherever you are.
