A note on CCTV and privacy
If your cameras only record your own property, data protection rules do not apply. If they capture a neighbour's property, a shared area, or the public pavement, you should use the footage responsibly, display a notice that CCTV is in use, and keep recordings only as long as needed. A certified installer will position cameras to keep coverage on your own boundary wherever possible.

Frequently asked questions
How much does CCTV installation cost in Alresford & Elmstead?
Home CCTV in Alresford & Elmstead typically starts from around £400 for a basic two-camera setup and rises with the number of cameras, resolution, and storage. A combined CCTV and alarm package usually ranges from £800 to £1,800. These are estimates only, so the most accurate figure comes from a tailored quote based on your property.
Can CCTV be installed with a burglar alarm in Alresford & Elmstead?
Yes. Many installers fit CCTV and a burglar alarm together as a single package, often sharing the app and management. A combined system gives you both a deterrent and visual evidence, and is a common choice for homeowners in Alresford & Elmstead.
Do I need permission to install home CCTV?
For cameras that only cover your own property you do not need permission. If your CCTV captures areas beyond your boundary, such as a neighbour's garden, a shared space, or the pavement, data protection rules apply and you should use the cameras responsibly, put up a notice, and only keep footage as long as needed. A certified installer will position cameras to minimise this.
