Frequently asked questions
How much does CCTV installation cost in Kensington and Chelsea?
Professionally installed CCTV systems start from £600 for a small 4K system with recording and app viewing. Most two to four camera systems fall between £600 and £1,500, and larger commercial systems are quoted after a free site survey.
Do I need planning permission for CCTV in Kensington and Chelsea?
Domestic CCTV rarely needs planning permission. You do need to follow ICO guidance under UK GDPR if cameras capture areas beyond your boundary, such as the pavement or a neighbour’s property — we position cameras so you stay compliant.
How long does CCTV installation take?
Most home systems are fitted in a single day. Commercial systems with eight or more cameras usually take one to two days depending on cable runs.
Can I watch my cameras from my phone?
Yes. Every system we install includes secure remote viewing through a mobile app, with optional motion alerts and recording backup.
