CCTV installation in Leicestershire: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

You can usually install CCTV on your property without permission, but you must follow privacy laws. Don’t point cameras at areas outside your boundary unless you have a legitimate reason. Keep neighbours informed to maintain good relationships.

Renters

If you rent, you’ll need written permission from your landlord before installing CCTV. They may also set conditions, such as using non-permanent fixings or removing equipment when you leave. For shared buildings, check with the management company or residents’ association.

  • How much does it cost to install one CCTV camera?

    Installing a single camera can cost £150 - £200, depending on the set-up.

  • Can I install CCTV by myself?

    Yes, if you’re confident with electrical work and network set-up. However, a professional installer ensures legal compliance, optimal positioning, and proper system set-up.

  • 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.

  • Can CCTV cameras work without Wi-Fi?

    Yes, CCTV cameras can work without Wi-Fi, but you won’t be able to access the footage remotely. They’ll store recordings locally on a DVR/NVR or memory card.

  • What’s the difference between CCTV and security cameras?

    CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) is a type of security camera system where footage is transmitted to a limited set of monitors or recording devices. Some modern security cameras also stream over the internet for remote access.

  • Can CCTV record sound in the UK?

    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.
