Tailored surveillance applications protecting every aspect of your plumbing, electrical, or contracting business.
CCTV cameras covering vehicle parking areas protect company vans, trucks, and fleet vehicles from theft and vandalism. High-resolution cameras with number plate recognition capabilities monitor all vehicle movements, deter criminals, and provide evidence for police investigations or insurance claims.
Surveillance of tool stores, workshops, and equipment storage areas protects valuable tools and materials from theft. Internal cameras monitor access to secure areas, outdoor cameras protect external storage, and motion-activated recording alerts you to unauthorised access after hours.
Comprehensive CCTV coverage of depot buildings, yards, and perimeters protects your business premises from break-ins and trespass. Cameras monitor all entry points, detect intruders, integrate with alarm systems, and provide 24/7 surveillance ensuring your contractor business remains secure.
CCTV cameras in office areas, reception, and customer-facing spaces protect staff, monitor visitors, deter theft, and capture evidence of incidents. Surveillance ensures a safe working environment for administrators whilst protecting business assets and sensitive information.
Camera systems monitoring gates and access points to vehicle yards ensure only authorised personnel and vehicles enter your premises. Integration with access control systems creates comprehensive security whilst capturing number plates and visitor details for audit trails.
After-hours surveillance with motion detection and instant alerts notifies business owners of any activity at depots or yards when staff have left. Remote monitoring from mobile devices enables rapid response to potential break-ins protecting tools, vehicles, and materials overnight and at weekends.
How professional surveillance delivers tangible value to home service businesses beyond basic security.
CCTV surveillance significantly reduces tool and equipment theft which costs home service businesses thousands annually. Visible cameras deter opportunist criminals, high-resolution recording identifies thieves, motion alerts enable rapid response, and footage provides evidence for police investigations recovering stolen property and prosecuting offenders.
Security cameras protect company vehicles from theft, vandalism, and damage. Number plate recognition monitors all vehicles entering and leaving your yard, deterring criminals and providing comprehensive records. CCTV footage supports insurance claims for vehicle damage reducing premiums and protecting fleet investments.
Many insurers offer discounts on business premises and vehicle insurance when CCTV systems are installed. Professional surveillance demonstrates security commitment, reduces risk of successful claims, and provides evidence in disputes. CCTV investments often pay for themselves through reduced insurance costs within 2-3 years.
Business owners and managers can monitor depots, yards, and offices remotely from job sites or home using mobile apps. Check that staff have closed up properly, verify deliveries have arrived, respond to alarms instantly, and maintain oversight of multiple locations without physical site visits improving operational efficiency.
CCTV cameras protect staff working alone at depots or offices, provide evidence in disputes or allegations, and encourage professional behaviour. Surveillance in loading areas, workshops, and vehicle yards helps prevent accidents whilst demonstrating duty of care to employees creating a safer working environment.
Modern IP camera systems leverage existing network infrastructure reducing installation costs. Solutions like UniFi Protect eliminate monthly licence fees whilst cloud-based options remove the need for expensive on-premise recording servers making enterprise security affordable for home service businesses protecting valuable assets cost-effectively.

Common questions about CCTV systems for plumbers, electricians, and home service contractors.
Camera requirements depend on your depot size, layout, and security concerns. Small depots with a vehicle yard might need 4-8 cameras covering gates, vehicle parking, tool stores, and building entrances. Larger contractors with extensive yards and multiple buildings may require 12-20 cameras for comprehensive coverage. We conduct site surveys assessing your premises, identifying security priorities, recommending appropriate camera placement covering all vulnerable areas, and providing detailed proposals ensuring effective protection without excessive cameras reducing costs whilst meeting security needs.
Many business insurers offer discounts when professional CCTV systems are installed, typically 5-15% reduction on premises and vehicle insurance. Insurers recognise that surveillance significantly reduces theft risk and provides evidence for claims. When obtaining quotes, inform insurers about your CCTV installation including system specification and monitoring arrangements. Some insurers require British Standard BS 8418 compliance for maximum discounts. We provide documentation supporting insurance applications and can design systems meeting insurer requirements maximising premium reductions whilst protecting your business.
Absolutely. Both UniFi Protect and Hikvision offer secure remote access through web browsers and mobile apps. You can view live camera feeds, review recorded footage, and receive motion alerts from anywhere with internet connectivity. Remote access uses encrypted connections and requires strong authentication protecting against unauthorised access. This enables efficient monitoring of your depot, vehicle yard, or office without returning to premises. Many home service business owners check cameras each evening from home ensuring everything is secure before finishing for the day.
Modern IP cameras are ruggedised and vandal-resistant with IK10 impact ratings making them difficult to damage. Cameras are installed at heights difficult to reach without ladders deterring tampering. If cameras are damaged, video is continuously streamed to recording devices meaning footage is already saved before damage occurs. We recommend strategic camera placement with overlapping coverage ensuring attempted vandalism is captured by other cameras. Insurance typically covers replacement of damaged equipment with CCTV footage supporting claims.
Storage duration depends on your business needs and insurance requirements, typically 30-90 days for general surveillance with specific incidents archived longer. We configure automatic deletion ensuring compliance with data retention policies. Access to CCTV footage is strictly controlled with user authentication, role-based permissions limiting access to business owners and designated managers, and audit logging of all footage viewing. Clear policies ensure surveillance remains lawful under GDPR whilst protecting your business from theft and liability claims.
Most CCTV installations at commercial premises don't require planning permission provided cameras are focused on your own property and don't unnecessarily overlook neighbouring properties or public areas beyond what's reasonable for security. Cameras should be positioned to avoid capturing excessive footage of neighbouring premises or public spaces respecting privacy. If your premises are listed buildings or in conservation areas, restrictions may apply. We design installations meeting planning guidelines, advise on requirements, and can liaise with local authorities if permissions are needed ensuring compliant installations.
UniFi Protect offers excellent value with no ongoing licence fees, seamless integration if you already use UniFi networking equipment, intuitive management interfaces, and robust local recording. It's ideal for small to medium contractors wanting enterprise features without ongoing costs. Hikvision provides advanced AI analytics like human/vehicle detection reducing false alarms, wider camera selection covering specialist requirements like long-range monitoring, proven reliability in harsh outdoor environments, and more extensive video management features. Both platforms deliver exceptional security; we recommend based on your specific requirements, existing infrastructure, and budget ensuring best value.
Installation timelines depend on premises size and complexity. Small depots with 4-8 cameras covering vehicle yards and tool stores can typically be completed within 1-2 weeks including site survey, system design, and installation. Larger contractors with multiple buildings and extensive yards may require 2-4 weeks for comprehensive deployment. We provide detailed project timelines with realistic schedules, coordinate installations to minimise business disruption, and work flexibly around your operational requirements ensuring smooth deployment without impacting your ability to serve customers.
