CCTV Installation
Northampton
Professional CCTV installation across every Northampton postcode. NDAA compliant 4K cameras from Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink and Ubiquiti. Cabled NVR systems, person and vehicle detection, mobile app access and full BS 7671 compliant power. Same week installs across NN1 to NN18.
We install professional cabled CCTV systems across every Northampton postcode using NDAA compliant 4K cameras with PoE (Power over Ethernet) from Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink and Ubiquiti. Wireless cameras have their place but for proper coverage of a property a cabled NVR system is far more reliable, has better night vision, no battery faff and full evidence-grade recording resolution. Common Northampton work: residential 4 to 6 camera systems, retail and commercial multi-camera installs across Brackmills and Moulton Park, plus HMO communal area coverage for landlord compliance. All systems mobile app accessible with person and vehicle detection.
Battery wireless cameras look cheap then end up expensive
Walk into any DIY shop and you will see wireless battery cameras for £80 a unit. Tempting if you just want a camera at the front door. The problem: they need charging every 4 to 6 weeks, the night vision is poor (most are infrared only with no white light), the field of view is narrow and most rely on cloud subscription that costs £4 to £8 per month per camera. Three cameras for two years works out at £350 to £700 in subscription alone, plus the time spent charging.
Cabled NVR systems have a one-off install cost then nothing more to pay. Mains power via PoE means no batteries. 4K resolution evidence-grade recording. Smart features (person and vehicle detection) processed locally on the NVR not in the cloud. Mobile app access from anywhere with no monthly fee. We install with proper Cat6 cabling routed neatly, IP66 rated cameras, weatherproof junction boxes and clean power supplies.

- 4K (8MP) resolution as standard, not 1080p

The numbers behind
a proper CCTV install
A few specs decide whether your CCTV will give you usable evidence on the day you actually need it. We get all of these right.
Standard Resolution
4K (8MP) as standard. Picks up readable number plates at distance, recognisable faces and clear detail. 1080p (2MP) is no longer enough for evidence.
Standard Storage
2TB hard drive in the NVR records around 30 days of 4K continuous footage on 4 cameras. Larger drives for longer retention or more cameras.
Outdoor Rating
All outdoor cameras rated IP66 minimum (dust-tight and water-jet protected). Some applications need IP67 for splash zones near gutters and downpipes.
Power Method
Power over Ethernet (PoE) over Cat6 cable. Single cable per camera carrying power and data. No mains spurs in the loft, no separate power supplies.
