### Eyes on Your Property
Home security cameras are brilliant - **check who's at the door from your phone, keep an eye on the driveway, catch dodgy activity**. But they only work if positioned and mounted properly.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Height matters for security cameras. Too low and they're easy to tamper with. Too high and you can't see faces clearly. About 2.5-3m high is the sweet spot for most cameras.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Multiple cameras?** Full property coverage usually needs 3-4 cameras minimum. Do them all in one visit - I can run cables efficiently and you'll have complete coverage. **Wireless vs wired:** Wireless cameras are easier to install but depend on WiFi reach and need battery charging/power nearby. Wired cameras are more reliable but need cable runs to recorder. **Cable hiding:** Surface-mounted cables are included. For cables chased into walls and plastered over, see TV cable hide pricing - similar work involved. **Exeter's old houses:** Thick stone walls can block WiFi signals. Wired cameras might work better, or position wireless ones carefully for signal strength.
Frequently Asked Questions about Security camera installation in Honiton
Can you help decide where cameras should go?
Yes - positioning is critical for security cameras. I'll advise on coverage areas, blind spots, and optimal mounting heights. Front door, driveway, and back access points are typical priority areas.
What about running cables?
For wired cameras, I can run cables neatly along walls, through lofts, or concealed in trunking. Wireless/WiFi cameras just need power nearby. Cable routing affects price and time needed.
Do you set up the recording system?
I mount and connect the cameras physically. For DVR/NVR setup and app configuration, you might need the camera supplier's support - that's more IT than handyman work. I'll get the cameras positioned and connected though.
Can you mount on any wall type?
Most walls yes - brick, render, uPVC soffits, timber. The challenge is usually routing cables neatly and weatherproofing entry points. I'll advise if your planned position has issues.
How long does one camera take?
Simple wall mount with short cable run: 30-45 minutes. More complex routing or multiple cameras obviously take longer. I'll estimate once I know your setup.
