More than a recording

CCTV that does more than record

Most cameras tell you what happened. Ours are connected to a real person, so when your alarm goes off, something can be done about it.

  • Checked by a real personEvery alert goes to our UK monitoring centre, day and night.
  • Challenged through the speakerOperators warn intruders off while they’re still outside.
  • Escalated to the policeConfirmed threats are passed on straight away, or a guard is sent.
  • Alerts on your phoneYou see the same live picture as our team.

4K ColorVu

Full colour, even at 3am

Most cameras drop to grey infrared after dark. ColorVu keeps recording in colour, so a face, a jacket or a car is still clear when it matters.

  • Colour after darkNot grey, blurry infrared.
  • Smart detectionLooks for people, not passing headlights.

Our 4K ColorVu cameras record in full colour in the dark instead of grey infrared, so faces, clothing and vehicles are much easier to make out.

We angle cameras to cover your property and keep neighbouring gardens and windows out of shot wherever we can. If a camera has to see beyond your boundary, we’ll talk you through the ICO’s guidance for home CCTV on your survey.
