How many CCTV cameras do I need?

The number of cameras depends on your property size and what you want to monitor. A typical home usually needs 3 to 6 cameras to cover key areas like the front door, driveway and rear garden. We'll recommend the right setup during your free survey.

Can I view my CCTV cameras on my phone?

Yes. Every CCTV system we install includes free remote viewing setup, so you can watch live footage and play back recordings from your phone or tablet anywhere in the world.

How long does CCTV footage last before being overwritten?

This depends on the number of cameras, recording quality and hard drive size. Typically, systems record for 14 to 30 days before overwriting the oldest footage. We can specify larger drives if you need longer retention.

Do CCTV cameras work at night?

Yes. All cameras we install include infrared night vision that provides clear footage in complete darkness. Some models also offer full-colour night vision using built-in spotlights.

Is CCTV installation disruptive?

Not at all. We run cables neatly through walls and ceiling voids wherever possible. Most residential installations are completed in a single day with minimal mess.

Can I monitor my security system from my phone?

Yes. All modern systems we install include smartphone app integration for remote monitoring, arming/disarming and receiving instant alerts wherever you are. with the spec adjusted to suit Walderslade buildings around walderslade end.

Do you offer any discounts for multiple properties on the same street?

We can sometimes offer preferential rates for multi-property installations in the same area. Contact us to discuss your specific situation. tuned for the layout typical of Walderslade homes near walderslade side.

What aftercare comes with a new Walderslade CCTV install?

You get our 12-month workmanship warranty, a full app walkthrough on handover day and ongoing phone support if you're unsure about playback or notification settings.

Can CCTV cameras trigger my Walderslade outdoor lighting?

Yes, AcuSense cameras can be linked to compatible floodlights or smart plugs so a detected person triggers illumination automatically, a popular addition for Walderslade driveways and side passages.

What happens if my Walderslade broadband goes down, do I lose recordings?

No, recording happens locally to the NVR's hard drive regardless of your internet connection. Only remote viewing and phone alerts pause until broadband is restored, footage keeps recording throughout.

Can we get alerts instead of watching a monitor all day?

Yes. Hikvision AcuSense lets us alert only on person or vehicle detection in a drawn area, so a delivery van in the yard pings you and a moving branch does not. On busy Walderslade commercial sites that difference is what keeps people actually reading the alerts.

Can residents in the block view the cameras themselves?

We do not normally give individual residents live access to communal cameras, as that creates an obvious privacy problem. The managing agent or a nominated director holds the login and can export a clip for the police or for an incident report on request.

Hik-Connect is configured for smartphone live-view and playback.
