Proven solution to your security concerns

Imagine stepping out of your home or business, knowing that every critical moment is being watched, recorded, and protected. Criminals think twice when they see cameras—they don’t want to be caught, and that alone can prevent break-ins, vandalism, and theft.

And if something does happen? You have undeniable proof. No more “he said, she said”— just crystal-clear footage, ready when you need it most.

So, it’s not just about crime. CCTV is your silent guardian. It lets you:

Monitor your home in real-time from anywhere in the world.
Keep an eye on deliveries, visitors, and staff without being physically present.
Resolve disputes with clear evidence, whether it’s workplace incidents or neighbourhood concerns.
Lower insurance premiums because a secured property is less risky.

Crime deterrence

Lower Insurance Premiums

CCTV reduces crime by up to 50% in areas where it’s installed. A visible security system makes criminals think twice, preventing break-ins, vandalism, and theft before they happen. Protect your property with proven security solutions that keep you safe 24/7.

Installing a CCTV system can potentially lead to lower insurance premiums for businesses, as it enhances security and reduces the risk of theft and vandalism. Many insurance companies recognize this reduced risk and may offer discounts to policyholders with professionally installed CCTV systems.*

Legal & Privacy Concerns

Is CCTV legal in the UK?

Yes, CCTV is legal in the UK, but it must be used in compliance with privacy laws such as the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR. If you are installing CCTV on private property for personal use, you generally do not need permission. However, if cameras capture public spaces, neighbors’ properties, or workplaces, legal obligations may apply.

Can I install CCTV at home without breaking privacy laws?

Yes, as long as your cameras only record your own property (e.g., home, driveway, garden). If your CCTV captures footage of public areas or neighbors’ property, you must:

Inform people with clear signage
Ensure recordings are only used for security purposes
Delete footage that is no longer needed
Provide footage if requested under a Subject Access Request (SAR)

Can I install CCTV at my business?

Yes, businesses can install CCTV for security, staff monitoring, and crime prevention, but they must comply with GDPR and the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) guidelines. This means:

Informing employees and customers with clear signage
Only using CCTV for legitimate business security reasons
Restricting access to CCTV footage to authorized personnel
Not recording private areas like bathrooms or staff break rooms

Can I record public areas with my CCTV?

If your CCTV captures public areas, streets, or shared spaces, you are responsible for ensuring compliance with UK surveillance laws. You must:

Justify why public recording is necessary (e.g., security risk)
Have clear CCTV signs informing people they are being recorded
Store footage securely and ensure only authorized access
Not share footage unless required by law (e.g., police request)

Do I need to register my CCTV system with the ICO?

If you are using CCTV for business purposes or recording public spaces, you may need to register as a CCTV operator with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) and pay a Data Protection Fee. Homeowners using CCTV only for personal use do not need to register.

Do I need permission from my neighbors to install CCTV?

No, you do not need permission if your CCTV only records your own property. However, if cameras capture part of a neighbor’s property, it’s best to:

Inform them beforehand and discuss any concerns
Adjust camera angles to avoid unnecessary recording of their space
Reassure them that footage is for security use only

Can my employer use CCTV to monitor me at work?

Yes, but employers must follow strict rules to ensure CCTV monitoring is fair and lawful. They must:

Inform employees before installing cameras
Clearly state the purpose of CCTV (e.g., security, safety, theft prevention)
Not use CCTV to secretly monitor employees without a valid reason
Not record in private areas like bathrooms or changing rooms

Who can access my CCTV footage?

Only authorized individuals should have access to CCTV footage. Businesses must have policies in place to restrict access to managers, security staff, or IT teams handling the system. Home CCTV footage should be kept private and only shared if required by law.

Can I give CCTV footage to the police?

Yes, if a crime occurs, you can provide CCTV footage to law enforcement authorities. The police may request access under data protection laws, and you should only share recordings relevant to the investigation.

How long can I keep CCTV recordings?

There is no strict rule, but data protection laws require that footage should not be kept longer than necessary. Businesses typically store recordings for 30 days, unless needed for an investigation. Homeowners can keep recordings for as long as they wish, provided they are used legally.
