Home CCTV and security system installation
CCTV and Security
CCTV and security covers installing domestic CCTV cameras, alarm systems and connected security equipment, including camera positioning that respects data protection considerations for neighbouring properties.
Definition
What cctv & security involves
Domestic security installation ranges from a single doorbell camera through to a full CCTV system with multiple cameras and recording, alongside intruder alarm systems. Camera positioning needs to be considered carefully — footage capturing neighbouring private property or public areas can raise data protection (UK GDPR) considerations, which we factor into camera placement advice.
Suitable for
- Doorbell and entry-point cameras
- Full CCTV systems with multiple cameras and recording
- Intruder alarm system installation
Not suitable for
- Camera positions that would primarily capture neighbouring private gardens or homes without justification — we advise on appropriate positioning rather than installing wherever requested

CCTV & Security FAQs
Can my CCTV camera point at my neighbour's garden?
It's worth avoiding where possible — footage that captures neighbouring private property can raise data protection considerations. We advise on positioning your cameras to cover your own property effectively while minimising this.
