Step 1
We visit, walk the property with you and agree what needs covering, from doors and drives to yards and outbuildings.
Step 2
You get a clear written quote the next day, with camera positions, recording time and the full price.
Step 3
Cables are routed out of sight wherever possible, and cameras are aimed and focused on site, not left on default settings.
Step 4
We show you how to view, play back and export footage, set up your phones and advise on signs.
Local security know-how
Newbury and Thatcham have plenty of family homes and town-centre businesses, but what sets the area apart is the countryside around it. Farms, equestrian properties and rural businesses need CCTV across yards, barns and long drives, often where broadband is slow or doesn’t reach at all.
The Lambourn valley, known as the Valley of the Racehorse, and the wider area have many stables and racing yards. Cameras in stables let owners and staff keep an eye on horses overnight, including at foaling time, as well as covering tack rooms and horseboxes against theft.
Business parks such as Greenham Business Park, and the industrial areas around the town, need cameras on gates, yards and entrances with proper retention and remote access for keyholders.

CCTV repairs
We repair most makes of camera and recorder, whoever installed them. Every repair visit starts with a test of each camera, the recorder and the network, so we fix the cause rather than the symptom.
Usually a power supply, a cable joint or a failed camera. We test each run back to the recorder and replace only what’s faulty.
A full or failing hard drive is the most common cause. We replace the drive, check the recording schedule and confirm footage is saving.
Often a new router, an expired app login or out-of-date firmware. We reconnect the system securely and set up the app again.
Spider webs, infrared glare off a soffit or a dirty lens. We clean, reposition or upgrade to cameras with better low-light performance.
Older cameras often can’t identify a face or a number plate. We adjust focus and angles, or recommend higher-resolution cameras where they’re needed.
Network switches, power-over-Ethernet faults or Wi-Fi coverage. We trace the link and make it reliable, wired wherever possible.
Staying on the right side of the rules
If your cameras only cover your own property, data protection law doesn’t apply. If they capture beyond your boundary, such as a pavement, road or a neighbour’s garden, it does. You’ll need to tell people with a sign, keep footage secure, delete it when it’s no longer needed and respond to requests for it. We aim and mask cameras to keep coverage on your property.
Businesses using CCTV must tell people they may be recorded, usually with clear signs, and normally need to pay the ICO data protection fee unless exempt. Footage should only be used for its stated purpose, and anyone recorded can ask for a copy, usually within a month. We set up access controls and retention to match.
On a listed building, fixing cameras to the fabric may need listed building consent, and conservation areas can have their own rules. We’ll suggest discreet positions and reversible fixings, and tell you what to check with the council before any work.
