CCTV Systems Designed for Your Property
Every site is different. We design CCTV systems around your layout, risk profile and budget, whether you run a single commercial premises or manage multiple sites across East Yorkshire.
IP CCTV
IP cameras are the modern standard for professional CCTV installation. They deliver high-resolution footage, flexible camera placement and easy scalability, making them suitable for businesses of all sizes. Systems can be viewed remotely via smartphone, tablet or desktop, and expanded as your site grows.
Thermal Cameras
Thermal cameras detect heat signatures rather than relying on visible light, making them highly effective in complete darkness, fog or challenging outdoor environments. Particularly suited to perimeter security on larger commercial sites, industrial premises and locations where conventional cameras struggle after dark.
ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition)
ANPR cameras are engineered specifically to capture and read vehicle registration plates accurately, even at speed or in poor light. Used across car parks, gated entrances, logistics yards and any site where monitoring or controlling vehicle access is a priority.
Do I Need a CCTV System?
A professionally installed CCTV system does more than record what happens on your premises, it changes what happens in the first place. Visible cameras deter criminals before they act, remote access keeps you connected to your property around the clock, and high-definition footage gives police and insurers exactly what they need if something does go wrong. For businesses and homeowners across Hull and East Yorkshire, CCTV has moved from a luxury to an expectation, and with modern IP systems more capable and more affordable than ever, there’s rarely a good reason not to have one.
A Local Business That Takes Security Seriously
Choosing the right CCTV installer matters as much as choosing the right system. Poor installation, wrong camera placement or cheap equipment can leave you with blind spots, unreliable footage and a system that lets you down when you need it most. Here’s what sets Cobra apart.
CCTV System FAQs

Yes, but night-time performance varies significantly between cameras. If you need to identify faces or vehicles after dark, specification matters. We’ll advise you on this during the survey — not after installation. For sites where conventional cameras struggle, thermal cameras are worth considering.
It can, particularly for monitored or SSAIB-accredited systems. Many insurers require proof of professional installation and annual maintenance. We provide all necessary certification and documentation.
Some cameras support audio recording, but there are legal considerations — particularly in commercial or public-facing environments. We’ll advise on what’s appropriate for your site and ensure your system is compliant before installation.
UK law requires clear signage wherever CCTV is in use, informing people they are being recorded and providing contact details for the data controller. We advise on compliant signage placement as part of every installation.
Yes. Distance, cable routing and power supply can affect cost, so we assess this during the site survey. We regularly install systems across multiple buildings, yards, car parks and outbuildings throughout East Yorkshire.
