CCTV Installation · Cambridge
CCTV Installation in Cambridge
IP camera systems installed for Cambridge premises, designed around what you actually need to see rather than a count of cameras. Entrances, tills, yards and stock areas covered at a resolution that produces usable footage — plus the GDPR paperwork that makes the system lawful to operate.
Why this comes up
The problem
Most systems are bought on camera count and end up producing footage too low-resolution to identify anyone, which is discovered only after an incident. The data protection obligations are usually discovered later still.
What you get
What we deliver
- A survey establishing what each camera must actually capture before any are specified
- Cameras positioned and specified for identification, not just for movement in shot
- Recording with a retention period set deliberately, and lawfully, rather than by default
- Remote viewing on phone and desktop, secured properly rather than exposed to the internet
- Signage, a privacy notice and a written retention policy so the system is compliant to run
- Footage export procedure documented, so evidence can be produced in a usable format

CCTV Installation in Cambridge — common questions
- Do we need to register with the ICO?
- Most businesses operating CCTV do need to pay the ICO data protection fee, and all of them need signage, a lawful basis and a retention period. We set up the system and give you the policy documents; if your situation is unusual, take legal advice rather than ours.
- How long should we keep footage?
- Long enough to be useful and no longer — commonly around 30 days. Keeping everything indefinitely is a data protection problem rather than a safety margin, and it is the most common thing set wrongly by default.
- Can we view cameras remotely?
- Yes, through a properly secured connection. What we will not do is port-forward a recorder straight onto the internet, which is how the widely-reported cases of strangers watching business cameras happen.
- Can cameras cover staff areas?
- Technically yes, lawfully it is far more constrained — monitoring staff carries obligations that monitoring an entrance does not, and covert recording almost always fails the test. We will flag where a proposed position moves you into that territory.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cambridge businesses do you usually work with?
- Deep-tech and biotech clients bring genuinely technical briefs, often involving data pipelines, instrumentation or research tooling. Beyond that we work across Technology, Life Sciences, Research, Higher Education and Biotech.
- Do you cover the areas around Cambridge?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Norwich, Milton Keynes, London, Northampton. Cambridge is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
