CCTV engineers in Gillingham
Gillingham CCTV installers who cover the alleys, not just the front door
Gillingham's grid of Victorian and Edwardian terraces — Canterbury Street, Barnsole Road, the streets running off Watling Street — nearly all have rear alley access and no off-street parking. That combination is exactly why most of our Gillingham calls are about the back gate and the parked car rather than the front door.
Further out at Twydall, Wigmore, Parkwood and Hempstead the housing opens up into post-war and 1970s estates with garages, side returns and larger gardens, where four cameras covering approach, drive, side gate and rear garden give genuinely complete coverage.
Every Gillingham 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 Gillingham
Every type of CCTV we install across Gillingham
From a single doorbell camera on a Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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
In terraced Gillingham the rear camera does the heavy lifting, so we take time over it: mounted high enough to be out of reach, angled to capture the face of anyone coming through the gate, and masked so the neighbours' yards and windows are excluded from the recording entirely.
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 Gillingham 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 and shared gates
Alley-access terraces need one properly aimed, masked rear camera — coverage of your own gate and yard, with neighbouring property blanked out.
No off-street parking
Where cars sit at the kerb we angle a camera along the pavement approach so you get an identifiable face rather than a distant figure by the bonnet.
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.

Gillingham customers
Rated 4.9 from 412 reviews across Kent
“Bikes were going from the back garden. They put a camera on the gate and masked next door out of the picture. Caught someone within a fortnight and we had usable footage.”
“Terraced house with no drive. They covered the front door and the street where we park. Honest advice, no upselling, and a very neat install.”
Gillingham CCTV questions
Straight answers for Gillingham properties
Anything not covered here, call our CCTV line on 01622 611907 and speak to an engineer who knows Gillingham — not a scripted call handler.
Can I cover the alley behind my Gillingham terrace?
You can cover your own gate and yard, and you can film the alley where it is unavoidable — but you then have GDPR obligations. We mask neighbouring doors, windows and yards, fit the correct signage and set a sensible retention period so you are covered properly.
My house has no loft access on the rear — can cable still be hidden?
Almost always. We run cable in slim, colour-matched trunking that follows existing lines such as downpipes and soffits, or route through cupboards and voids internally. Draped cable across brickwork is never acceptable to us.
Do you install CCTV for businesses in Gillingham?
Yes — shops, takeaways, offices and units at Gillingham Business Park. Typical layouts cover entrance, till, stockroom and rear yard, with signage supplied and staff shown how to export footage.
How much does CCTV installation cost in Gillingham?
A typical 2-camera 4K wired system on a Gillingham 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 ME7, ME8.
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 Gillingham?
We usually survey within a few days and most Gillingham 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.
