Video survey and quotation
A free video survey can establish the main entrances, likely camera positions and broad system type before the installation quote is approved.

A practical security layout connects the entrances that matter with clear images, suitable cabling and usable recording.
Pricing follows the surveyed layout rather than a one-size package, because mounting access and the route back to the recorder can change the work significantly.

Initial planning can use the £500–£2,500 guide for a basic home CCTV system, followed by a property-specific quotation.
A wired multi-camera layout, specialist access or a larger recorder may move the project beyond the basic guide and requires a survey quote.
The process starts by defining what useful evidence means at this property: an identifiable face, a vehicle approach, a protected side route or a wider situational view.
The local plan gives extra attention to shared entrances and narrow frontage lines, where a carefully restricted view is usually more useful than a wide image containing neighbouring space.
We inspect the building fabric before confirming brackets or penetrations. Brick, render, soffits and managed common areas require different fixing decisions. The survey also documents privacy-sensitive edges so masking or a narrower field of view can be designed from the beginning.
The design stage matches focal length and sensor capability to each measured distance. Wider lenses are reserved for context, while narrower views are used where identification matters. Recording resolution, frame rate and storage retention are balanced so the system does not promise detail that the scene cannot provide.
Mounting begins only after positions are reconfirmed against the approved view. Fixings are matched to the substrate, cable bends stay within practical limits and external joints are protected from water. Each camera receives a clear label that matches the recorder and handover plan.
The final stage checks image framing after all covers and fixings are complete. Recording capacity, clock accuracy and network reconnect behaviour are reviewed, followed by a practical explanation of notifications, playback and downloading a short evidential clip.
Property, access and priorities are recorded.
The included work and limitations are explained.
Work follows the agreed order and safe method.
Results and useful next steps are reviewed.
Rotherhithe includes family homes, managed properties and rental accommodation. Room layout, external access and occupancy can change the sequence of work. Explain which areas matter most and whether the property will be occupied during the visit.
Controlled access, lifts and timed loading windows should be confirmed in advance. Where loading, keys, concierge access or parking permits are involved, provide the relevant instructions with the booking.
Before arrival, keep the work area reasonably accessible and note any known issue connected with safe isolation or reported symptoms. Do not dismantle equipment, move unsafe loads or apply products that could complicate the assessment.
Answers matched to the survey, pricing and installation decisions for this area.
The video survey is presented as free. It is used to understand the property, discuss suitable camera options and prepare a quotation before work is approved.
Wireless equipment can reduce some cable work but still needs reliable power and signal. Wired systems may require more routing while providing a stable connection.
Yes. A quotation can separate priority cameras from optional expansion, provided the recorder, network and cable plan allow the later phase.
Domestic installations usually do not require permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas and unusual circumstances should be checked with the local authority.
