CCTV installation for Irvine properties
- 01
Wired, PoE or wireless cameras
Wired PoE cameras take power and data through one network cable, giving a steady picture without batteries or Wi-Fi dropouts. Wireless cameras are quicker to fit where cables are hard to run but depend on a good signal. Wired cameras are usually the more reliable choice where cable can go in.

Picture quality at night
Many cameras look sharp by day but blurry after dark. Infrared night vision shows a clear black and white picture in darkness, while colour night vision cameras use a small light or a very sensitive sensor. Resolution and lens width decide how much detail you can see.

Recording and storage
Cameras record to a network video recorder or a memory card, so footage is kept even if the internet drops. The recorder's hard drive decides how many days are stored before older footage is overwritten. Most systems can also send motion alerts to your phone.
What to expect from CCTV installation
We walk round the property with you to agree what each camera should cover, such as doors, driveways, gates and garden access, and where the recorder will sit. We look at cable routes and your Wi-Fi, then give you a free quote for the full system.
On the day, we run the cables, mount and aim the cameras, connect the recorder and set up recording and motion detection. We install the app on your phone, check you can view live and recorded footage, and adjust angles so the picture covers what you need.

CCTV installation questions
How many CCTV cameras does an Irvine home need?
Most houses are well covered with two to four cameras: one on the front door, one on the drive or parking, and one or two covering back doors and side access. Larger properties and businesses need more. We plan coverage around the ways in, not just the walls.
Can I watch my CCTV in Irvine from my phone?
Yes. Modern systems come with an app that shows live views and recorded footage from anywhere with internet, plus alerts when movement is detected. We set the app up on your phone during the installation and show you how to find and save clips.
Do businesses in Irvine need signs for their CCTV?
Yes. Businesses using CCTV must follow data protection law, which includes putting up clear signs telling people that recording is taking place and who to contact. There are also rules on how long footage is kept and who can see it, set out in guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office.
Does my CCTV in Irvine keep recording if the internet goes down?
Yes, recording carries on. Cameras save footage to the recorder or a memory card, not just the cloud, so a broadband outage doesn't stop them. You can't view remotely until the internet is back, but nothing recorded in the meantime is lost.
