CCTV installation planned around your property
In short: we survey the property, plan each camera position, install and configure the recorder, and show you how to view and play back footage. You get a written quote after the free survey.
A CCTV system is only as good as its camera positions. The right height, lens, angle and lighting decide whether footage shows a face and a number plate or just a blurred figure. Many of the systems we are asked to fix were fitted without a proper survey.
Smart Guard installs CCTV security systems for houses, flats, shops, offices, warehouses and managed buildings across London. We plan around the real risks on your site, such as entrances, driveways, side access, yards and loading areas, then recommend cameras, recorders and cabling that suit the property and your budget.
What this includes
Site survey and camera placement plan
HD and 4K IP cameras with night vision
Recorder set-up, storage sizing and passwords
Phone viewing and a walk-through at handover
What’s included
What our CCTV installation service includes
Site survey and camera planning
We walk the property with you, check entrances, sight lines, lighting and cable routes, and plan where each camera should go and why.
Cameras for day and night
Bullet, dome and turret cameras with infrared or colour night vision, matched to the distance and detail you need.
Recorder and storage
An NVR configured with storage sized to your cameras and how long you need to keep footage, with unique passwords.
PoE cabling and network
Power over Ethernet carries power and video on one Cat6 cable. Where needed we add a managed PoE switch to keep the system stable.
Secure phone viewing
We set up live and recorded viewing on your phone or tablet and make sure you can find, play back and export a clip.
Handover and support
A walk-through when we finish, written guidance and a number to call if you need help later.

What affects the cost
Every property is different, so we do not quote blind. The main factors are:
- Number and type of cameras (bullet, dome, turret, wide-angle)
- Camera resolution and low-light performance
- Recorder type and the amount of storage needed
- Cable routes, building type and access to camera positions
- Extras such as remote viewing, PoE switches, monitors or links to alarms and door entry
A free survey lets us give you an accurate written quote with no obligation.
Good practice and regulations
Worth knowing before you decide:
- Position cameras to capture faces at entrances, not only wide views
- Display CCTV signage so people know recording is taking place
- If cameras cover areas beyond your own property, UK GDPR and ICO guidance may apply
- Keep recorder passwords unique and firmware up to date
