Commercial CCTV Installation for your business

CCTV for shops, offices, warehouses, yards and managed buildings, planned to record usable evidence and installed with minimal disruption to your business.

Built for business premises

Commercial CCTV that records usable evidence

On a commercial site, CCTV has to do more than show that something happened. It needs to identify people at entrances, show what happened at the till, cover the yard at night and hold footage for long enough to deal with incidents and claims.

We survey the premises with you, identify the risk areas and design a system around them. Installation can be scheduled early, late or at weekends to keep disruption low, and the system is set up with user accounts, retention times and signage that support your data protection duties.

FAQs

Commercial CCTV Installation questions

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most. If yours is not here, send us a message and we will reply.

Yes. We can schedule installation early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends to keep disruption to a minimum.
There is no fixed legal period. Many businesses keep footage for around 30 days, but it should be no longer than you need. We size storage to the period you choose.
Yes. We set up secure remote access with separate user accounts, so each person sees only what they need.
Most organisations using CCTV need to pay the data protection fee to the ICO. Check the ICO website for your situation.
Often, yes. Compatible IP cameras can usually be added to a new recorder, and we can advise which existing equipment is worth keeping.
