How much does it cost to install 4 CCTV cameras?
Typically £995–£2,495 +VAT, depending on analogue vs IP, access, and storage days.
What’s the cheapest CCTV system that’s still worth having?
A basic wired 2–4 camera system is usually the best value. Ultra-cheap DIY kits often disappoint on night performance and reliability.
Does CCTV cost more if I want 30 days recording?
Often yes, because you’ll usually need a larger hard drive (and sometimes a higher spec recorder).
Is IP CCTV always better than analogue?
Not always — IP is usually better for detail and expansion, but a good analogue system can be ideal for simpler installs.
Do I need internet for CCTV?
Not for recording. You only need internet for remote viewing and app access.
Can you install CCTV in outbuildings or detached garages?
Yes — but it can increase cost due to distance, routes, and power/network requirements.
Is installation included in the “camera price” I see online?
Usually not. Online prices rarely include cabling, routing, setup, commissioning, or making-good.
Do you provide maintenance?
Yes — we can price maintenance so you’ve got a predictable yearly cost.
Will CCTV work in the dark?
Yes, but performance varies massively by camera spec. If identification at night matters, choose the right kit — not just “any camera”.
Can you give me a quote without a site visit?
Often yes for simple jobs. For complex sites (long runs, height access, multiple buildings), a survey helps us price accurately.
