Discreet, reliable CCTV for houses, flats and driveways.

Home CCTV Systems in London

Home CCTV Systems for London homes and businesses

In short: Home CCTV usually means a small number of cameras covering the front door, driveway, rear garden and side access, with night vision and viewing on your phone. We design it to look tidy and be simple to use.

For most households the aim is simple: see who is at the door, keep an eye on the driveway and garden, and have footage if something happens. The challenge is doing that without a house full of visible cables and without false alerts every time a cat walks past.

We install home CCTV for houses, flats and mansion blocks across London. After a free survey we recommend camera types, positions and storage that suit your property, then install everything neatly and set up viewing on your phone.

What this includes

  • Front door, driveway, side access and garden coverage
  • Smartphone viewing set-up
  • Night-vision capable cameras
  • Advice on signage and responsible use

What’s included

What our Home CCTV Systems service includes

1

Front door and driveway coverage

Cameras positioned to capture faces at the door and vehicles on the drive, not just a wide shot of the street.

2

Rear garden and side access

Coverage for gates, side passages and back doors, which are common points of entry.

3

Night vision that works

Infrared or colour night vision selected to suit your lighting, so footage is useful after dark.

4

Phone alerts and live view

Notifications and live viewing on your phone, set up securely and explained clearly.

5

Discreet, tidy installation

Cables hidden or protected where possible, with cameras chosen to suit the look of your home.

6

Options for flats and rented homes

Wire-free or minimal-fixing solutions where drilling is restricted, subject to what your lease or landlord allows.

What affects the cost

Every property is different, so we do not quote blind. The main factors are:

  • Number of cameras and the areas you want covered
  • Camera type and night-vision requirements
  • Storage size and how long you want to keep footage
  • Building type, cable routes and access to fixing points
  • Extras such as a video doorbell, outdoor lighting or alarm integration

A free survey lets us give you an accurate written quote with no obligation.

Good practice and regulations

Things worth knowing before you decide:

  • Aim cameras at your own property and avoid covering neighbours’ windows or gardens
  • If any camera captures public space or a neighbour’s property, ICO guidance may apply, so we plan the view with you
  • Use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication on your viewing app where available
  • Place cameras high enough to be out of easy reach while still capturing faces

FAQs

Home CCTV Systems: frequently asked questions

How many cameras does a typical house need?

Many homes are well covered by two to four cameras: front door, driveway, rear garden and side access. We recommend what suits your property after a survey.

Will the cameras work at night?

Yes. We choose cameras with infrared or colour night vision that suit your lighting, so footage is useful in the dark.

Can I view my home CCTV when I am away?

Yes. We set up secure viewing on your phone or tablet so you can check live view and playback from anywhere with an internet connection.

Do you install CCTV in flats and rented properties?

Yes. We can recommend minimal-fixing options. If you rent, check your lease or tenancy agreement and ask your landlord before drilling or fixing anything.

Is it legal to have CCTV at my home?

Home CCTV is legal. If cameras only cover your own property, they are generally treated as personal use. If they capture public space or neighbouring property, ICO guidance may apply. We help you plan camera positions sensibly.

Can you add cameras to an existing system?

Often yes. We check what you have and advise whether to extend it or upgrade it. See our CCTV repairs and upgrades service.
