Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we receive about our Security Installations. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Give us a call on 01903 721 884.
Can I view my cameras on my phone?
Yes! All modern systems we install include smartphone apps for iOS and Android, allowing you to view live feeds, review recordings, and receive motion alerts from anywhere with an internet connection.
How long do recordings last?
This depends on storage capacity and camera settings. Typical home systems store 7-30 days of footage. Commercial systems often store 30-90 days. We’ll recommend appropriate storage based on your needs and budget.
Will a security system reduce my insurance?
Many insurance companies offer premium discounts (typically 10-20%) for professionally installed alarm systems and CCTV. Check with your insurer – we provide full
What happens if my internet goes down?
Most systems continue recording locally even without internet. You’ll lose remote viewing capability temporarily, but recordings are saved. Some systems offer 4G backup connectivity for critical applications.
Can security systems be hacked?
Professional systems with proper passwords, regular updates, and secure networks are very difficult to hack. We configure all systems with strong security settings and provide guidance on maintaining security.
How long does installation take?
A typical 4-camera home system takes 1 day. Larger homes or commercial properties with multiple cameras may take 2-5 days depending on complexity. We provide clear timelines with quotations.
What maintenance do security systems need?
CCTV cameras should be cleaned periodically and systems checked annually. Alarm systems benefit from annual servicing to test sensors and replace batteries. We offer maintenance packages for worry-free operation.
Can you upgrade existing systems?
Yes, we can often add cameras to existing systems, upgrade recording equipment, or replace outdated technology while keeping some existing infrastructure. We’ll assess what can be retained versus what needs replacing.
What's the difference between HD and 4K cameras?
HD (1080p) provides good quality images suitable for most purposes. 4K offers much higher detail, beneficial for large areas where you need to zoom in on footage, facial recognition, or number plate reading. Costs approximately 30-50% more.
Will installation damage my property?
We minimise disruption and always make good any necessary holes or cable routes. Wireless systems require minimal cabling. We discuss installation routes beforehand and ensure tidy, professional installations with cables properly concealed where possible.
Can I add more cameras later?
Yes! We design systems with expansion in mind. Most systems can accommodate additional cameras as your needs change. We’ll ensure your recording equipment has capacity for future additions.
