Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CCTV installation cost for a business?
Business CCTV costs vary depending on the number of cameras, resolution, storage requirements and site complexity. We provide free, no-obligation site surveys with detailed quotes tailored to your needs. Most small business systems start from around £800 fully installed.
How long does a CCTV installation take?
A typical small business CCTV installation takes one to two days. Larger or more complex sites may take longer. We will give you a clear timeframe as part of your site survey.
Do I need planning permission for CCTV?
Most business CCTV installations do not require planning permission. However, you must display signage informing people they are being recorded and comply with GDPR regulations. We advise on all compliance requirements as part of our service.
Can I access my CCTV remotely?
Yes. All our systems support remote viewing via smartphone, tablet or PC. We set up remote access as standard and provide training so your team can use it confidently.
