CCTV Monitoring Options in London
Choose how your CCTV is watched: self-monitoring with smart alerts on your phone, or a system ready to connect to a professional monitoring centre.
CCTV monitoring
CCTV monitoring that suits your site and budget
In short: we explain the monitoring options, set up smart alerts for self-monitoring and, where you want professional monitoring, install a system compatible with a monitoring centre.
Recording footage is only part of security. Monitoring decides how quickly someone knows that something is wrong. For many homes and small businesses, smart alerts on a phone are enough; larger or higher-risk sites may need a professional monitoring centre.
We set up self-monitoring with person and vehicle detection, alert schedules and quick playback. Where you want 24/7 professional monitoring, we install compatible cameras and recorders and work with your chosen monitoring provider.
