Cameras placed for the day you need them

Most people only find out whether their cameras were well placed when something happens. A camera set too high records the top of a hood, and one facing the evening sun turns the drive into glare. Ours are positioned so that when you scroll back, the footage answers the questions the police or your insurer will ask.

Woking keeps us varied: shops and offices around Jubilee Square and the station, new flats beside them, large detached houses in Horsell, Hook Heath and Pyrford, busy family estates in Goldsworth Park and Knaphill, and trade units in Sheerwater and Byfleet. The same local engineers survey, fit and look after all of it.

  • A face at the door

    Cameras at head height, not up under the eaves.

  • A plate on the drive

    Lens adjusted on site so a registration is readable from the house.

  • A clear time on every clip

    Weeks of footage, easy to find and save.

CCTV we fit across Woking

Every system is designed, fitted and set up by our own CCTV engineers, who stay until you’re comfortable using it.

Home CCTV

Covering doorways, drives, gates and gardens, positioned to capture faces and number plates rather than the tops of heads.

Business CCTV

Shops, offices, surgeries and trading units, with cameras on entrances, tills, yards and car parks, and a recorder kept somewhere secure.

Flats and shared blocks

Entrances, post boxes, bin and bike stores, set up so the managing agent can pull footage when residents need it.

Watch on your phone

Live pictures, recordings and motion alerts on your mobile, installed and tested with you on the day of the fit.

Clear pictures at night

Cameras chosen for the light where they’re going, using infrared or full-colour low-light models, so footage is useful after dark.

Repairs and upgrades

Blank feeds, recorders that have stopped saving, apps that won’t connect, and tired analogue set-ups brought up to HD.

The cameras we choose between

No single camera suits every wall. Every camera is chosen for its own spot, then record them all on one recorder in your home or premises.

Turret
A short, rounded camera with a wide view and good infrared. Our first pick for most houses, as there’s no dome to catch reflections at night.
Dome
Low profile and hard to tamper with. Suits porches, ceilings, shop floors and shared hallways in blocks of flats.
Bullet
Obvious on purpose, which puts people off. Reaches further down a long drive, a yard or a car park.
Varifocal
The engineer adjusts the lens on site to frame a face at the gate or a number plate far down the drive.
Colour night vision
Uses a little light to record in colour after dark, so you can tell a red coat from a blue one.
Smart alerts
The camera tells people and vehicles apart from foxes, rain and swaying branches, so your phone only buzzes when it matters.
Pan, tilt and zoom
Swings round to track movement over wide open ground, and you can steer it yourself from the app.
Number plate cameras
Read plates at the entrance to a business site or private car park, even at night.

Resolution runs from 4MP to 4K, matched to the job, all recorded on a network video recorder (NVR) with viewing on your phone set up as standard.

Hook Heath, Pyrford, Horsell

Long drives and big gardens

Drives here are often long and gated. A varifocal camera at the house end picks out vehicles at the gate, and turrets on the corners cover the garden and any outbuildings.

Typically 4 to 6 cameras

Goldsworth Park, Knaphill, St John’s

Front, drive, side and back

Three or four turrets usually do it, one each for the porch, the drive, the side gate and the garden, with smart alerts so passing cars on a busy close don’t set off your phone all evening.

Typically 3 to 4 cameras

Town centre and village parades

Door, till and stock room

A camera facing the door at eye level, plus another looking down on the counter, captures what you’ll actually need. Small domes keep a shopfront tidy, and a third camera on the stock room or back door closes the gap.

Typically 2 to 4 cameras

Town-centre and newer blocks

Shared spaces covered

Domes in the entrance, by the post boxes and in the bin and bike stores, with a recorder the managing agent can reach. We plan the fit around residents to keep disruption low.

Typically 4 to 8 cameras

Sheerwater, Byfleet and beyond

Yards, gates and loading

Bullet cameras at each corner of the building, a camera on the vehicle gate and, where detail matters at a distance, 4K or a number plate camera.

Typically 4 to 8 cameras

A survey by an engineer, not a salesperson

Before anything is fitted, one of our CCTV engineers walks round your Woking home or business with you. They look at where people come and go, where the light falls at night and where cables can run neatly, then tell you plainly what’s worth covering and what isn’t.

CCTV that’s stopped working properly

We repair systems whoever fitted them. These are the faults we find most often in Woking homes and businesses.

  • Black screens on some cameras. Often one power unit or network switch has died and taken a group of cameras down with it.
  • A misty or white picture at night. Cobwebs or a dirty cover reflecting the infrared, or an infrared light that has failed.
  • Nothing recorded when you need it. Storage is full or the disk inside the recorder has worn out, or a power cut has reset its settings.
  • The app won’t connect. Often after a new broadband router, which changes the network the recorder relies on.
  • One camera keeps dropping out. Water in an outside joint that was never properly sealed, or a damaged cable.
  • An old, grainy analogue system. Reusing your existing wiring for new HD cameras usually saves a full rewire.

CCTV and the law, in plain English

You don’t need to know the regulations. We build them into how the system is set up.

At home

Cameras that stay within your boundary are your own business. The moment one takes in the street or the house opposite, you take on legal duties for that footage. On Woking’s tighter terraces and closes that’s easy to do by accident, so our engineers line up every camera deliberately, blacking out parts of the view with privacy masks when needed.

At work

Businesses that record people need clear CCTV signs, a genuine reason for recording and footage deleted after a fixed number of days. Most will also owe the ICO an annual registration fee. We fit the signs and set your recorder to delete footage on the schedule you choose.

Woking CCTV questions

Can my cameras look at the road or next door?

Aim to keep them on your own land. Once a home camera records beyond your boundary, UK GDPR puts duties on you as the owner, so our engineer positions each camera, and blanks out parts of the view if needed, to stay inside your property line.

Wired or wireless cameras?

We generally recommend wired cameras. One cable carries power and pictures, there are no batteries to charge, and recording doesn’t stop if your Wi-Fi drops out. Our engineer will explain the options for your property at the survey.

Can I watch the cameras while I’m out?

Yes, from anywhere with a phone signal. Our engineer loads the app onto your mobile and shows you how to watch live, look back through recordings and export a clip if you ever need to hand one to the police or an insurer.

How many days of recordings will I have?

It comes down to camera count and hard drive size. Most home systems we fit keep a few weeks, recording over the oldest footage automatically.

Can you add cameras to the system I already have?

Often, yes, if the recorder has spare channels and works with modern cameras. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you honestly whether an upgrade is worth it.

Do you fit CCTV for Woking businesses?

Yes, from a single shop to sites with several buildings. We plan the cameras around your entrances, stock and parking, and can fit the signs the law expects when you record people.

Is planning consent needed for home cameras?

For an ordinary house, rarely. Fixings on a listed building can require consent from the council, and conservation areas sometimes add conditions. We’ll keep cameras small and fix them where they can be removed without marking the wall.

Is there a fee for business CCTV?

Usually, yes: firms that film people generally have to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office each year, though a few small organisations are exempt. A quick online check on the ICO website confirms where you stand.

Something else? Ring our CCTV line, and you’ll speak to someone who fits the cameras.
