CCTV that’s specified properly and compliant from day one

CCTV is one of the few IT installations where getting the compliance side wrong has real legal consequences, not just an inconvenience. We design camera placement, retention and access control together — not the cameras first and the compliance paperwork as an afterthought.

Where it’s used

Built for the environment, not a generic spec sheet

Retail & hospitality

Coverage for entrances, tills and stock areas, positioned and signed appropriately for public-facing premises.

Warehouses & industrial sites

Wide-coverage IP camera systems for large sites, integrated with existing network infrastructure.

Office & reception security

Entrance and access-point coverage sized to the building, not over-specified for the sake of it.

Questions we’re asked most

Answered plainly

Is CCTV legal for a UK business to install?

Yes, when used for a clear purpose, installed proportionately, explained through visible signage, kept secure and retained only as long as necessary — the standard the ICO expects UK organisations to meet under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Do we need a data protection impact assessment for CCTV?

It depends on the scale and nature of monitoring — we’ll flag during the compliance review whether your planned system likely needs a DPIA, though for genuinely complex or higher-risk surveillance a qualified data protection adviser should confirm.

How long should CCTV footage be retained?

There’s no single fixed legal number — footage should be retained only as long as necessary for the stated purpose, which we’ll help you define and document as part of the compliance review rather than defaulting to an arbitrary period.

Have a network, cloud or CCTV project in mind?

Tell us the environment and the outcome you need — we’ll tell you what’s realistic.
