Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CCTV installation in Cornwall
How many cameras do I need for my property?
The number of cameras depends on your property layout, the areas you want to cover and your budget. For a typical domestic property 2 to 4 cameras covering the front, rear and side access points is usually sufficient. Mark will assess your property and recommend the minimum number needed to cover your key areas effectively.
Do you supply the cameras and recording equipment?
Yes - Mark supplies quality CCTV cameras and recording equipment as part of the installation. He will recommend the right system for your specific requirements and budget during the initial assessment. You don't need to source any equipment separately.
Can I view my cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes - all systems Mark installs are configured for remote viewing via a smartphone app. Once set up you can view live footage and recorded clips from your cameras on your phone from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.
How long does CCTV installation take?
A standard domestic installation of 2 to 4 cameras typically takes between 3 and 5 hours. Larger commercial installations will take longer depending on the number of cameras and complexity of the cabling. Mark will give you an accurate time estimate when you book.
Do you install CCTV for businesses and commercial properties?
Yes - Mark installs CCTV systems for commercial properties including offices, retail units, warehouses, holiday let complexes and hospitality businesses across West Cornwall. Commercial systems are designed to meet the specific security requirements of the premises.
Will the cameras work at night?
Yes - all cameras Mark installs include infrared night vision as standard, providing clear black and white footage in complete darkness. High definition recording ensures usable footage in all lighting conditions and typical Cornish weather.
How long is footage stored for?
Standard systems are configured to record continuously or on motion detection to a local DVR or NVR unit at your property. Storage duration depends on the number of cameras, recording resolution and hard drive capacity - typically between 7 and 30 days. Mark will advise on storage options when specifying the system.
Do I need to inform neighbours about CCTV cameras?
For domestic use you are not legally required to inform neighbours about cameras covering your own property, though it is good practice to ensure cameras are not directed at neighbouring properties or public areas unnecessarily. For commercial properties displaying a CCTV warning sign is recommended. Mark can advise on correct positioning to avoid any issues.
