"We had a break-in attempt at our St Albans warehouse on a Sunday. Citytalk's monitoring centre had us on the phone within two minutes, footage already pulled. Police caught them on a neighbouring street. Worth every penny."

Common questions

The questions we hear from business owners every week.

How much does commercial CCTV cost?

For a small site (4–6 cameras, single building) you're typically looking at £1,800–£3,500 installed, plus an optional service contract. Larger sites or AI analytics push higher. We give a fixed quote after the survey — no "from £…" pricing on this site because everyone's premises are different and we'd rather be honest.

Will my insurance require a particular grade of system?

Most commercial insurers want a Grade 2 alarm minimum, with NSI or SSAIB-installed kit and an Alarm Receiving Centre. Higher-risk premises (cash-handling, jewellers, pharmacies) often need Grade 3. We design to your insurer's spec and provide the certificates.

Are you GDPR-compliant for CCTV footage?

Yes — and it's not optional. We provide compliant signage, set retention periods correctly (default 30 days), help you write a CCTV data-protection policy, and configure access logging so you can demonstrate who viewed what. The ICO takes this seriously now.

Can you take over our existing system?

Most of the time, yes. We'll inspect what you've already got, fix what's fixable, and tell you what realistically needs replacing. We service systems originally installed by Chubb, ADT, Banham and most other major UK installers.

How fast can you respond to a fault?

Our service contracts include a 4-hour emergency response SLA and next-business-day for non-critical issues. Because all our engineers are based in Aylesbury and operate across Herts/Beds/Bucks, we usually arrive within 60 minutes of dispatch.

Can I view the cameras from my phone?

Yes — every system we install includes a mobile app with live feeds, playback, motion alerts and multi-site dashboards. Permissions are role-based so the manager sees more than the duty supervisor.

Do I have to use your monitoring service?

No. Plenty of customers run their systems unmonitored or use their own staff. We'd just point out that NSI-approved monitoring is what unlocks police response in many force areas — without it, the police won't routinely attend an alarm activation.
