  • Can a handyman install CCTV?

    Some handymen can fit basic systems, but for larger or more complex installs, a specialist CCTV fitter is recommended.

  • What’s better: wired or wireless CCTV?

    Wired systems are generally more reliable and secure, while wireless systems are easier to install and move. Your choice will depend on budget, property layout, and whether you rent or own.

    Yes, but audio recording has stricter privacy rules. If your CCTV captures sound, you must inform people (e.g. via a notice) and ensure it’s for a legitimate reason, like security.

  • Can I install CCTV outside my house?

    Yes. In the UK, you can install CCTV outside your house to monitor your property. Just make sure you follow privacy rules. Avoid pointing cameras at areas beyond your boundary unless you have a valid reason, such as preventing crime. If your cameras capture public spaces or neighbouring properties, you’ll need to comply with the Data Protection Act and the ICO’s guidance.

  • Is a Ring doorbell the same as CCTV?

    Not exactly. A Ring doorbell is a type of smart security camera designed for your front door. It records video, detects motion, and lets you talk to visitors via your phone. CCTV systems usually cover more areas of your property, can store footage locally, and may include multiple cameras.
