CCTV engineers in Chatham
Chatham CCTV installers who know the terraces and the hills
Chatham's housing is tight and steep. Terraces off Luton Road and Magpie Hall Road sit on sloping ground with rear alleys, parking is on-street almost everywhere, and Walderslade and Lordswood add 1960s and 1970s estates with long side returns. Camera height and lens angle matter far more here than the number of cameras.
We fit a lot of two- and three-camera systems in Chatham covering the front door, the parked car and the rear gate — the three places incidents actually happen — plus larger systems for the shops, takeaways and units around the High Street and Medway City Estate.
Every Chatham system is quoted at a fixed price in writing before we start, fitted with wired cabling as standard, and left recording and working on your phone before we leave. A 12-month guarantee on the installation as standard.
CCTV systems in Chatham
Every type of CCTV we install across Chatham
From a single doorbell camera on a Chatham terrace to an eight-camera business system, every installation is designed around the property and fitted by our own engineers.
4K wired CCTV systems
8-megapixel cameras and a hard-wired recorder with weeks of rolling storage — enough detail to identify a face or a plate on a Chatham driveway, not just a shape.
Colour-at-night cameras
Full-colour footage in low light instead of grainy black-and-white infrared, which matters on unlit approaches and rear boundaries.
Phone & tablet viewing
Live view, playback and motion alerts on your phone from anywhere, set up on your own devices during our visit.
Doorbell & intercom integration
Video doorbells and gate intercoms tied into the same app so callers, deliveries and the drive are all covered in one place.
Business & commercial CCTV
Multi-camera systems for Chatham shops, offices, yards and industrial units, including till coverage, stockrooms and car parks with signage supplied.
Repairs, upgrades & takeovers
We take over, repair and upgrade systems fitted by others — often reusing sound existing cable to bring old analogue cameras up to 4K.
Design, coverage & the law
Designed properly: coverage, legality and your neighbours
On sloping Chatham streets a camera set at the usual height ends up looking at chests or rooftops, so we adjust mounting height and tilt to the gradient. Rear alley cameras are masked to keep neighbours' doors and windows out of frame, and we always check for the streetlight that will otherwise flare every night-time recording.
Good CCTV is geometry, not gadgetry. Cameras mounted too high film the tops of heads and cameras mounted too low are within reach. We fix at the height that captures faces on approach, angle away from streetlights and low sun that flare the lens at night, and overlap coverage so no camera sits in another camera's blind spot.
Every Chatham system is set up to stay on the right side of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act. Where cameras capture beyond your boundary we mask neighbouring windows and gardens in the camera settings, fit the correct signage, set sensible retention periods and explain your responsibilities in plain English.
Rear alleys behind terraces
The alleyways behind Chatham's terraces are the classic access route — one well-aimed, masked rear camera usually solves what three badly aimed ones cannot.
On-street parking and vehicle damage
Where the car sits at the kerb we angle a camera to capture the approach along the pavement, giving usable identification rather than a distant shape.
Cabling without the mess
Cable is run through the loft or in discreet colour-matched trunking, never draped across brickwork — the install should be invisible from the street.
Slow or patchy broadband
Wired systems record continuously regardless of your internet speed; remote viewing is tuned to the connection you actually have.

Chatham customers
Rated 4.9 from 412 reviews across Kent
“Three cameras, front, drive and back gate. The engineer moved one after we walked round together and it was the right call — you can see faces clearly now.”
“Tidy install in a flat where I thought CCTV wasn't possible. They sorted the freeholder question and kept everything within our boundary.”

Anything not covered here, call our CCTV line on 01622 611907 and speak to an engineer who knows Chatham — not a scripted call handler.
Can you fit CCTV to a Chatham terrace with a rear alley?
Yes, and it is one of our most common Chatham jobs. A rear camera covering your own gate and yard, with the neighbouring doors and windows masked out, gives you the coverage you need while staying well within your legal obligations.
Will a camera capture my car parked on the street?
It can, if it is aimed properly. We position a camera to catch the pavement approach to your vehicle rather than pointing straight down at the roof, which is what produces footage the police can actually use.
Do you install CCTV for Chatham shops and takeaways?
Yes — till coverage, entrance, stockroom and rear yard are the standard four for a Medway retail unit. We supply the required signage and set the recorder up so staff can export footage without needing us.
How much does CCTV installation cost in Chatham?
A typical 2-camera 4K wired system on a Chatham house starts in the low hundreds of pounds, with larger 4–8 camera and commercial systems priced on cable runs and camera count. Every quote is fixed in writing before we start in ME4, ME5.
Is it legal for my CCTV to film the street or next door?
Yes, but as soon as your cameras capture beyond your own boundary UK GDPR applies. That means clear signage, a genuine purpose, sensible retention and responding to reasonable requests about footage. We configure masking, signage and retention on every install.
Wired or wireless CCTV — which should I choose?
Wired, in almost every case. Wireless cameras rely on WiFi reach, run down batteries and can drop out at the worst moment. Wired cameras record continuously whatever your broadband is doing. We only suggest wireless for outbuildings where cabling genuinely isn't possible.
How quickly can you install CCTV in Chatham?
We usually survey within a few days and most Chatham homes are completed in a single day — a 4-camera system is typically a morning's work. Larger and commercial premises may take a day or two, and we never leave a system that isn't recording.
