What are the benefits of a CCTV System?
CCTV Cameras Provide Excellent Deterrence
The visible presence of a CCTV system on your property, whether its commercial or domestic, is often enough to ward off potential intruders and prevent a crime before it even takes place. Since CCTV systems, of course, can record criminal activity, many thieves and other potential criminals will do their best to avoid properties without CCTV security systems, since the potential to be caught and prosecuted rises exponentially if evidence is procured of them involved in criminal acts. Because of our remote access and remote viewing technology, you’ll also be able to constantly monitor your property, no matter where you are.
Flexibility
A Modern CCTV Camera system is suitable for a wide variety of different environments, and is much easier to make use of than many other security system alternatives (especially when it comes to domestic environments). Furthermore, it is easy to integrate CCTV into either an existing security set-up or add new systems to a CCTV set-up.
Evidence Gathering
In the circumstances that a crime does take place, CCTV footage of the crime will be vital to a police investigation. A recording can provide police with possibly the best headstart possible on any investigation they undertake, and is often the best way to guarantee to a conviction of the criminals responsible.
CCTV is Cost Effective
In the case of a commercial property, CCTV systems provide similar benefits to security guards and manned guarding at a much cheaper cost. Even in the case of domestic property, CCTV is an excellent way to keep your house secure without compromising on quality or breaching your budget.

Types of CCTV monitoring
Functionality You Will Love
Auto Tracking CCTV
Using some of the latest software on the market, our CCTV systems can track any motion in their field of view. When a tracked target exits the field of view of the camera, they will be locked onto by another camera. This provides a continuous recording of any movement outside your property and if criminal activity does take place, it ensures that evidence can be gathered.
Domestic CCTV systems
We know that as the technology of CCTV improves the cost will rise, this is why we offer a wide range of CCTV systems so that you can keep your home safe while remaining cost-efficient.
Number Plate Recognition
If you are maintaining a commercial business or property such as a car park, number plate recognition software could be of great use to you. This type of CCTV system can monitor the registration plates of those who enter the property, using similar technology to a speed camera system. This can help you to identify difficult individuals or intruders so that they can be reported with evidence.
CCTV installation FAQ
How much does CCTV installation cost?
A small residential system with two or three cameras costs less than a commercial CCTV installation covering a whole site. The number of cameras and cable runs affects the price most. We give you a fixed quote after a free site survey, so there’s no guessing beforehand.
What’s the law on CCTV cameras in Scotland?
You’re allowed to install CCTV covering your own property, but cameras shouldn’t unnecessarily capture a neighbour’s garden or the street beyond what’s reasonable for security. For a business, that usually means clear signage and a sensible policy on how footage is stored and who can access it. We understand the laws and ensure the CCTV system installed is fully compliant.
Is wireless or wired CCTV better?
It comes down to distance from the router and how many cameras you need. Wireless tends to struggle past six or seven cameras, or through thick stone walls. That’s usually when we’d move you to a wired or hybrid setup instead.
Can I view CCTV footage remotely?
Yes, and you don’t need to be near the site or even in the country. The app needs an internet connection at both ends, so a site with poor broadband may need a 4G backup to keep remote viewing reliable.
Are there ongoing costs after installing a CCTV camera?
Some systems are a one-off install with no further cost beyond occasional servicing. Connecting your CCTV to monitoring through our alarm receiving centre is usually a small ongoing fee. We set that out clearly in your quote.
Does CCTV footage help if a crime takes place?
Footage is often the first thing Police Scotland asks for after a break-in or an assault on site. Clear footage gives an investigation a genuine head start, and it’s standard evidence in court when a case goes that far.
Commercial CCTV and home CCTV across Scotland
Retail is where we do the most CCTV work, covering till points and stockrooms as much as the front door.
Shrinkage and staff safety are usually the real drivers, so coverage follows where cash and stock actually move, not just the entrance.
Warehouses, car parks and loading bays need wider coverage, and ANPR is worth adding wherever vehicles come and go all day.
A small residential job is often just two cameras on the doors, and offices get entrances and reception covered.
Farm CCTV usually means covering gates, sheds and machinery stores rather than a shopfront. Theft of equipment and livestock is the real risk on a rural business premises.
CCTV and access control together
We can tie your door access control system into the same cameras and the same app, rather than running two separate systems side by side.
A fob swipe at the door and the camera footage from that moment sit together, so you’re not cross-referencing two logs afterwards.
This suits offices and multi-tenant buildings, where several tenants share one entrance and need their own separate access records.
