CCTV systems installed and configured. Multiple cameras mounted, cabled neatly, recording properly. Homes and small businesses.
### Proper Security Coverage
CCTV is only useful if it's **positioned right, recording properly, and actually working**. Too many DIY systems have blind spots, failed recordings, or cameras pointing at nothing useful.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Camera position matters more than camera quality. A cheap camera covering your front door is better than an expensive camera pointing at your wheelie bins.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **GDPR awareness:** If your CCTV captures public areas (street, neighbor's property), you might have GDPR obligations. Keep it focused on your own property, display warning signs, and know how to provide footage if requested. **Wireless isn't cable-free.** Wireless cameras still need power cables. True wireless (battery) cameras need frequent recharging. Consider whether running one cable (power + data) is actually easier than managing batteries. **Recording storage fills up.** A 4-camera system recording 24/7 in HD fills a hard drive surprisingly quickly. Either set it to motion-only recording or accept you'll only have a week or two of history before it overwrites. **This is basic installation.** I'll get your system mounted, cabled, and recording. For complex network setup, remote access configuration, or integration with alarm systems, you might need a specialist CCTV company.
Frequently Asked Questions about CCTV system setup in Newton Abbot
What's involved in CCTV system setup?
I mount the cameras in the right positions (covering key areas like doors, driveways, paths), run cables neatly (or set up wireless), connect to the recorder/DVR, configure the system, and test everything works. Takes 3-6 hours depending on how many cameras and how complex the cabling.
Can you install my CCTV system or do I need to buy one?
You buy the CCTV kit (cameras, recorder, cables), then I install it properly. I can advise on what to buy if you're not sure - different setups for different needs. Send me photos of your property and I'll suggest what would work.
How much does CCTV installation cost?
Depends on the number of cameras and complexity of cabling. A typical 4-camera setup for a house takes 3-4 hours (£160-£210). I can give you a more accurate quote once I know what you've got and where you want cameras.
Can you hide the cables?
I'll run cables as neatly as possible - along gutters, through lofts, under soffits. For fully hidden cables you might need a separate electrician to channel into walls. Wireless cameras avoid cables but still need power.
Do you configure the remote viewing?
Basic setup yes - I'll get it recording and show you how to view locally. For app-based remote viewing (watch on your phone), that depends on the system you've bought. Some are simple, some need network configuration that's beyond basic installation.
