Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All our CCTV systems include full app setup for iOS and Android. You can view live feeds, playback recordings, and receive motion alerts from anywhere in the world via the Hik-Connect app.
Absolutely. All our cameras feature infrared night vision with a range of up to 30 metres. The 4K ColorVu models can even produce full-colour images at night using built-in warm LED supplemental lighting.
It depends on the hard drive size, number of cameras, and resolution. With a 4TB NVR and 4 cameras at 4K, you’ll typically get 2–3 weeks of continuous recording. We can specify larger drives or add cloud backup if needed.
No — cameras record locally to the NVR regardless of internet connectivity. However, you do need a Wi-Fi or wired internet connection for remote viewing on your phone. We can set up a dedicated network if needed.
Generally no for residential properties. Cameras on your own property are considered permitted development. However, cameras must not overlook neighbouring property or public spaces excessively. Listed buildings may have restrictions. We’ll advise during your survey.
A basic 2-camera HD system including NVR starts from £550 fully installed. A 4-camera 4K system starts from £850. Prices include cameras, NVR, cabling, installation, and full app setup. We’ll design a system based on your property and provide a fixed-price quote.
It depends on the camera type. If you have IP cameras with PoE, we can usually connect them to a new NVR. Older analogue cameras will need replacing as modern NVRs are IP-based. We’ll assess your existing system during a free survey and recommend the most cost-effective upgrade path.
Yes — we install and maintain commercial CCTV systems for shops, offices, warehouses, and industrial premises across Dorset. Commercial systems can include 8–16+ cameras, larger NVRs, PoE switches, and integration with access control and intruder alarms. We provide ongoing maintenance contracts if needed.
