IP or analogue, wired or a mix with wireless links where cabling is impractical — the right CCTV setup depends on the property, not on whichever kit happens to be cheapest that week. IP systems give sharper detail and easier remote access; well-specified analogue (HD-over-coax) systems remain a solid, cost-effective choice for straightforward domestic jobs.
We talk you through the options in plain terms at the site survey, explain the trade-offs honestly and install to the manufacturer's specification so the system performs the way it's meant to from day one.
CCTV on 1960s-70s estate housing
Estate housing from this era often has open-plan front gardens, integral or attached garages and side gates that are easy to reach from the pavement. That openness is convenient day to day but means multiple approach angles need covering rather than just the obvious one.
We look at garage doors, side gate access and any detached outbuildings when planning camera positions on these properties, since they're commonly the point that gets missed.
IP versus analogue: which suits your property
IP camera systems record over network cabling, typically deliver sharper detail at longer distances and make remote viewing and multi-site access more straightforward — a good fit where image detail matters, such as reading number plates or covering a wide commercial yard. Analogue HD systems run over coax, are generally simpler and more cost-effective to install and suit most straightforward domestic setups very well.
Neither is universally better. We assess the property, the coverage you need and your budget, then recommend whichever technology actually fits the job rather than defaulting to one system across every installation.
