Recent CCTV Work

Short examples of the problems we solve across homes, businesses and temporary sites.

Retail

Retail CCTV refresh

Problem: Blind spots around the till, entrance and stock room made incident review slow.

Result: A clearer camera layout, secure recording and app access gave managers faster evidence review.

6 camera views planned

Construction

Temporary site protection

Problem: A changing site layout needed visible deterrence without a permanent system.

Result: Temporary CCTV hire covered gates, plant storage and public-facing boundaries as the project moved.

Flexible hire setup

Maintenance

Office maintenance visit

Problem: Older cameras were recording inconsistently and remote access had become unreliable.

Result: Health checks, recorder testing and app setup restored confidence before footage was needed.

Recorder health checked

Project proof

Before the quote, we think through the real install.

Good CCTV is not just a camera on a wall. It is camera position, cabling, recording, access, privacy and support working together.

CCTV Questions We Hear Every Week

Clear answers before you commit to a survey or quote.

How much does CCTV installation cost?

Costs depend on the property type, number of cameras, cable routes, recorder size and remote access requirements. Our guide packages start from £495 for simple home systems, with a final quote confirmed after a site survey.

Can I view the cameras on my phone?

Yes. We can configure secure mobile app access for authorised users, including live view, playback and alert options where the chosen system supports them.

Do you install temporary CCTV for construction sites?

Yes. Sentinel5 offers onsite CCTV hire for construction sites, events, vacant buildings and short-term risks, including options for remote access and changing site layouts.

Is CCTV legal for homes and businesses?

CCTV is commonly used by homes and businesses, but camera angles, signage, user access and retention should be handled carefully. We provide practical guidance during survey and handover.

Do you maintain existing CCTV systems?

Yes. Maintenance visits can include camera view checks, recorder health, hard drive status, firmware, time settings, remote access and user permissions.
