We offer a wide range of cameras, each suited for different security needs and environments. The most common types include:

Dome Cameras: Discreet and vandal-resistant, often used indoors or in areas where aesthetics are important.

Bullet Cameras: Highly visible and often used outdoors, acting as a strong deterrent. They typically have a longer, cylindrical shape.

Turret Cameras (Eyeball Cameras): A hybrid between dome and bullet, offering flexibility in aiming like a bullet but with a more compact, dome-like form factor, often without the glass dome that can cause IR glare.

PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) Cameras: Remotely controllable cameras that can pan (move horizontally), tilt (move vertically), and zoom in/out. Ideal for covering large areas with a single camera.

Fisheye Cameras: Offer a 360-degree panoramic view from a single camera, often used for wide-area surveillance in retail or open spaces.

Most modern CCTV cameras come with infrared (IR) night vision. They use infrared LEDs to emit light that's invisible to the human eye but can be "seen" by the camera's sensor. This allows the camera to capture clear images in complete darkness, typically in black and white. Some advanced cameras also offer "color night vision" using specialized sensors and low-light technology

Many IP cameras come with built-in video analytics that go beyond simple motion detection.

These can include:

Line Crossing Detection: Triggers an alert when a person or object crosses a virtual line you set.

Intrusion Detection: Alerts you if someone enters a predefined area.

Face Detection: Identifies human faces in the scene.

Vehicle Detection: Distinguishes between people and vehicles.

ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition): Reads vehicle license plates. These features reduce false alarms and provide more specific alerts, saving time when reviewing footage.

There are ZERO hidden fees or costs. All charges will be revealed upfront with flexible payment plans.

Yes. CCTV Guardians provides ongoing maintenance, emergency repair services, and remote diagnostics to keep your systems performing at 100%. Maintenance contracts are available for peace of mind

Our systems perform at least 6.3x better than cheap security systems that just become a headache after few years and you eventually need to get them replaced.

Most installations are completed within 1 or 2 working days, depending on the size and complexity. We also offer out-of-hours installs to avoid disruption to your operations.

Yes. There is a rechargeable back-up battery within the alarm control panel, which ensures that your alarm system functions properly in the event of a mains failure. This will keep your system powered for 7-12 hours.

The storage duration depends on the hard drive capacity and your specific requirements. For general surveillance, footage is often retained for 30 to 60 days before being overwritten. For specific incidents, footage can be manually saved for longer. We'll set up the system to meet your preferred retention policy.

After installation, our technicians will provide on-site training. We'll show you how to access live feeds, review recorded footage, manage settings, and utilize all key features of your new system, ensuring you're confident in its operation.

An internet connection is highly recommended and often essential for modern CCTV systems. It enables remote viewing, cloud storage options, mobile notifications, and critical firmware updates. If you don't have connectivity, we'll discuss alternative options or solutions.

As your installers, we ensure your system is installed in a way that facilitates compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. However, you, as the system owner/operator, are the "Data Controller" and are ultimately responsible for ongoing compliance.

Displaying clear signage where CCTV is in operation.

Ensuring cameras only capture what's necessary (data minimization).

Storing footage securely and only for as long as necessary.

Handling Subject Access Requests (SARs) correctly.

Registering with the ICO if required (most businesses operating CCTV need to).

We will advise you on these obligations during our consultation.

Yes, we offer various maintenance plans to ensure your CCTV system continues to operate efficiently and reliably. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your equipment and ensure optimal performance.

We provide comprehensive aftercare and support. You can reach our dedicated support team via phone or email for any technical assistance or troubleshooting. Our installation workmanship is also guaranteed for a specific period (details in your quote).

All new equipment supplied is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, typically 12 to 24 months. Specific warranty details will be provided in your quotation.
