CCTV pricing varies more than most people expect and the honest answer to what does it cost is: it depends on how many cameras, what resolution, how far the cable runs are and whether you want remote viewing and extended storage. A single-camera doorway system and an eight-camera commercial setup with a year of retained footage are entirely different jobs.
We give free, no-obligation site surveys and quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for and why before any work starts — no vague estimates, no surprises on the invoice.
CCTV on older industrial-era terraces
Older terraced housing built close to former industrial and dockyard sites around the Medway towns often sits on tight plots with minimal gap between properties, meaning cable routes and camera mounting need careful planning to avoid overlooking neighbouring gardens unnecessarily.
We route cabling and angle cameras to cover your own boundary properly while being mindful of what neighbouring cameras should and shouldn't capture — a GDPR point as much as a practical one on closely built streets like these.

Cabling is run and secured properly rather than trailing loose, power supplies are correctly rated for the number of cameras they feed and any external work at height is carried out with appropriate access equipment. We're fully insured for the work we carry out, giving you cover on both the installation itself and the finished system.
We also think about the property while we work — cable routes chosen to avoid unnecessary drilling through key structural points and mounting positions checked so cameras are secure and weatherproof for the long term, not just on installation day.
