COMMERCIAL CCTV

Commercial CCTV installation and video surveillance in London and the South East

Business CCTV designed around your site, keeping watch over your premises, staff and stock.

PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS

CCTV installation, maintenance and 24/7 monitoring for your business

Spy Alarms designs and installs commercial CCTV systems for businesses across London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex. That might be a single camera on a small retail unit or a full system covering a larger site. We can install something new, take over the maintenance of a system you already have, or add 24/7 monitoring. Every recommendation follows a site survey rather than a standard package.

The commercial CCTV systems we install give you three things:

Deter. A visible camera makes a break-in more trouble than it's worth. It won't stop every incident, but it does add risk.

See. Check who's at the door, keep an eye on deliveries, or look in on the site out of hours from your phone.

Record. Footage is recorded and kept, so if something happens you have evidence for the police or your insurer, and a clear record of events.

Reassure. A visible camera can help staff and customers feel a bit safer, whether that's on the shop floor, in a stockroom or out in the car park.

Cover. The cameras keep watching when the premises are unmanned overnight and at weekends, so nothing goes unnoticed just because nobody's there.

HD CCTV Systems

HD cameras make it easier to identify faces, vehicles and number plates. They make most difference at entrances, tills and anywhere you might need to identify someone later.

Night Vision & Thermal

Night vision and thermal cameras cover areas that still need watching after dark, such as car parks, loading bays and yards.

Remote Monitoring

With a compatible system you can view live footage on your phone or tablet. You can also have your cameras watched by trained operators through our CCTV monitoring service.

ADVANCED ANALYTICS

Advanced video analytics for your CCTV system

Alongside recording, we can add video analytics to your commercial CCTV system. Rather than only capturing footage for later, the system can flag specific events as they happen, such as someone entering a restricted area or a vehicle arriving out of hours, and send an alert straight away.

Intrusion zones and line crossing. Mark out boundaries or restricted areas on site, and get an alert the moment someone crosses into them, day or night.

Loitering detection. Get an alert if someone lingers by an entrance, a delivery point or a car park for longer than expected, rather than just passing through.

People and vehicle counting. See how many people or vehicles pass through an entrance or across a site, useful for footfall, staffing levels or managing a car park.

Number plate recognition. Identify and log vehicles entering or leaving your site, which can help with managing access to a car park, yard or loading bay.

Object left or removed. Get an alert if something is left in a restricted area, or if equipment or stock is taken from where it should be.

Which of these is worth having depends on your site and what you're trying to solve, so we'll talk it through at the site survey rather than adding analytics as standard.

Cloud CCTV Wimbledon

CLOUD CCTV

Better for Security, Better for Costs, Better for the Environment

With cloud based CCTV, footage is stored off site rather than only on a recorder in the building, so it isn't lost if that recorder is damaged or taken. The technology has matured and it now suits a lot of business sites.

CCTV SURVEILLANCE

Commercial CCTV systems designed around your premises

In the Home Office's 2023 Commercial Victimisation Survey, 8% of business premises in England and Wales had experienced a burglary, including attempts, in the previous 12 months. CCTV won't remove that risk, but a camera system gives you a deterrent, a view of what's happening on site, and recorded footage to fall back on.

We design each system around a site survey, so you're not paying for cameras or features your premises don't need.

Flexible & Scalable

From a single camera to full coverage inside and out, we install certified systems sized to your premises. Footage is usually stored on an on-site recorder, with edge storage and cloud-based options available if you'd rather not rely on one physical device, and we'll talk through how long you need to keep it. It works the same way for an office, a retail unit, a warehouse or several sites at once.

Control your security system from your phone

With our Smart app you have control of your whole integrated security system from one place. Once it's installed you can:

Live stream your CCTV cameras 24/7

Control your intruder alarm system and door access

Be notified of potential threats direct to your phone

Why Security Lights And Locks Aren’t Enough

According to statistics from an FSB article, business security measures are lax in Britain. Incredibly, 60 per cent of small and medium enterprise respondents in the UK rely on locks and security lights to protect their business, while two thirds of these enterprises didn't even have these security measures operational during working hours.

Frequently asked questions

If your cameras capture images of identifiable people, your business is generally covered by UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Information Commissioner's Office publishes guidance on using CCTV responsibly, including proportionate use, signage and how long footage is kept. We can design your system so it doesn't capture more than you need, but your business stays responsible for its own policies and signage. This is general information rather than legal advice.

What are the rules around CCTV on business premises?

If your cameras capture images of identifiable people, your business is generally covered by UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Information Commissioner's Office publishes guidance on using CCTV responsibly, including proportionate use, signage and how long footage is kept. We can design your system so it doesn't capture more than you need, but your business stays responsible for its own policies and signage. This is general information rather than legal advice.

Do Spy Alarms offer CCTV monitoring?

Yes. We can connect your commercial CCTV system to our alarm receiving centre for round-the-clock monitoring. Operators view live images, issue audio warnings where the system supports it, alert your nominated keyholders and can call the police or fire service, so there's a response even when the premises are empty. There's more detail on our CCTV monitoring page.

How often should commercial CCTV be serviced?

There's no single rule that fits every system, but regular checks keep images clear and the system reliable, including cleaning lenses, testing cameras and checking power and connections. Outdoor and higher-risk systems usually need looking at more often. We'll recommend a schedule at the site survey or as part of a maintenance agreement.

Can I view my cameras remotely?

With a compatible system, yes. You can view live footage on your phone or tablet, which helps if you want to check the premises outside working hours or keep an eye on more than one site.

Can you take over the maintenance of a system we already have?

Yes. We can assess a CCTV system that is already installed and take on its maintenance, or add monitoring to it, rather than replacing the whole thing.

How long does installation take?

It depends on the size of the system, how many cameras are involved and whether there's usable cabling in place already. We give you a timeframe with your quotation, once the site survey is done.

Do you offer AI-powered video analytics as well as standard recording?

Yes. Alongside standard recording we can add analytics such as intrusion zone alerts, loitering detection, people and vehicle counting or number plate recognition. We'll go through which of these suit your site at the free survey.
