Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about professional CCTV systems and installation

What's the difference between UniFi Protect and Hikvision CCTV systems?

UniFi Protect offers an integrated, cloud-managed system with no licensing fees, exceptional mobile apps, and seamless integration with UniFi networking equipment. It's ideal for businesses wanting simple management and scalability. Hikvision provides enterprise-grade cameras with industry-leading image quality, advanced AI analytics, and proven reliability. Hikvision is better suited for high-security environments requiring professional-grade features. We help you choose the right system based on your specific security requirements, budget, and existing infrastructure.

How many cameras do I need for my business premises?

The number of cameras depends on your premises size, layout, and security requirements. During our site survey, we identify vulnerable areas, entry points, high-value zones, and blind spots. Typically, a small office might need 4-6 cameras, while larger facilities could require 20+ cameras. We design systems to provide comprehensive coverage without unnecessary equipment, ensuring cost-effective security that meets your specific needs.

Can I view my CCTV cameras remotely from my phone or computer?

Yes, all our CCTV systems include remote viewing capabilities. You can access live camera feeds and recorded footage from smartphones, tablets, or computers using secure mobile apps or web browsers. Both UniFi Protect and Hikvision offer excellent mobile apps with intuitive interfaces, real-time notifications, and the ability to manage multiple locations from a single application. Remote access is secured with encryption and multi-factor authentication.

How long can CCTV footage be stored before it's automatically deleted?

Storage retention depends on camera resolution, number of cameras, recording settings, and storage capacity. Typically, we design systems to store 30-90 days of footage, which meets most business requirements and GDPR guidelines. Higher resolution cameras and continuous recording require more storage. We can customize retention periods based on your needs with options for extended storage using additional hard drives or cloud backup solutions.

Do CCTV cameras work at night or in low light conditions?

Yes, modern CCTV cameras feature infrared (IR) LEDs and advanced low-light sensors providing clear images in complete darkness. Most cameras offer effective night vision up to 30 meters, with some specialist models covering much greater distances. We also offer cameras with smart IR technology that adjusts illumination automatically, and color night vision cameras that maintain color imagery in very low light conditions.

What are the GDPR requirements for business CCTV systems?

Under GDPR, businesses using CCTV must display clear signage informing people they're being recorded, have a legitimate reason for surveillance, implement appropriate data security, and establish retention policies. You must provide access to footage upon valid requests and ensure cameras don't monitor areas where people have reasonable expectations of privacy. We provide comprehensive GDPR guidance, signage templates, and privacy impact assessment support to ensure your CCTV system is fully compliant.

Can CCTV cameras integrate with my existing alarm or access control system?

Yes, modern CCTV systems can integrate with alarm systems, access control, and other security technologies. Integration allows for automated responses such as cameras recording when alarms trigger, access control events linked to video verification, and unified security management dashboards. Both UniFi Protect and Hikvision support various integration methods. We assess your existing security infrastructure and design integrated solutions that work seamlessly together.

How much does a professional CCTV system installation cost?

CCTV installation costs vary depending on the number of cameras, camera specifications, storage requirements, and site complexity. A basic 4-camera system for a small office might start around £1,500-£2,500, while larger installations with 20+ cameras could range from £8,000-£15,000+. We provide transparent, fixed-price quotations with no hidden costs. The investment includes professional installation, configuration, training, and warranty coverage. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific security requirements.

What maintenance do CCTV systems require?

CCTV systems require minimal maintenance but benefit from regular checks. We recommend annual maintenance visits to clean cameras, check connections, test recording functionality, update firmware, and verify storage capacity. Regular maintenance prevents issues, ensures optimal performance, and extends equipment lifespan. We offer maintenance contracts providing scheduled visits, priority support, and peace of mind that your security system is always operating correctly.

Can you upgrade or expand my existing CCTV system?

Yes, we regularly upgrade and expand existing CCTV systems. If you have an older analogue system, we can upgrade to IP cameras whilst potentially using existing cabling. For newer systems, we can add additional cameras, increase storage, or enhance features. We assess your current system, identify upgrade opportunities, and recommend cost-effective solutions. In some cases, a complete system replacement might be more economical than upgrading very old equipment.
