Call our team 24/7 on 0800 118 2414 or message usCCTV is one of the most common forms of security measure, simply because it is effective as both an effective deterrent and a tool for prosecuting crime.
Displaying visible CCTV equipment can reduce crime against people, theft and vandalism, and when crime does occur CCTV footage can provide valuable evidence to improve the likelihood of a successful conviction. As versatile as it is effective, CCTV equipment can be used in both internal and external environments to watch over and protect people, property, vehicles and valuables.

1st Choice Security System CCTV is based around the use of digital video recorders, which provide maintenance free, reliable and user friendly recording, monitoring and playback features at the touch of a button. Gone are the days of labour intensive video recorders, oversized cameras and traditional analogue tapes which required constant, costly maintenance. Digital video recording units are capable of recording all cameras whilst allowing uninterrupted playback and search facilities. There is no user intervention required to change and store outdated video tapes; the hard drives will simply reset to record over outdated footage as the memory becomes full.
Today’s cameras are versatile enough to cope with both internal and external environments, and can include infra red lighting and motion sensors dependent on your requirements. Systems are also capable of recording only under preset conditions such as during specific time periods, and live images can also be viewed remotely via standard network or internet connections.

At 1st Choice Security Systems, we understand that choosing the right CCTV system can be daunting. Below are answers to the most commonly asked questions to help you make an informed decision.
What type of CCTV system is best for my property?
The best CCTV system depends on your property size, layout, and security needs. For small homes, a few strategically placed cameras may suffice, while larger properties or businesses might benefit from a networked IP system with remote viewing capabilities. Our team can advise on the most suitable option for your situation.
Can I view my CCTV footage remotely?
Yes. Modern CCTV systems allow you to access live and recorded footage via smartphones, tablets, or computers. With secure apps and login credentials, you can monitor your property from anywhere in the world.
How much storage do I need for CCTV footage?
Storage requirements depend on the number of cameras, recording quality, and retention period. For example, high-definition cameras and continuous recording require more storage than motion-activated systems. We can calculate the optimal storage for your system.
Are CCTV systems legal in the UK?
Yes, CCTV systems are legal in the UK, but you must follow privacy regulations. Cameras should not intrude on neighbours’ property, and if you record public areas or employees, you need clear signage and must comply with the Data Protection Act.
How often should CCTV systems be maintained?
CCTV systems should be checked at least once a year to ensure cameras, cables, and recording devices are functioning correctly. Regular maintenance helps prevent technical issues and ensures your system captures footage reliably.
