Legally, you do not require planning permission from your local authority to install CCTV cameras to help protect your home. It is possible there may be some restrictions if you live in a listed building or within a conservation area, where things like appearance, location and mountings can take on additional importance.

Does CCTV work without electricity?

The answer depends on the type of security system you are using, many home CCTV systems are connected to mains power providing reliable coverage whenever power is available. Often these systems incorporate back up batter power that can operate in the event of a power cut. Some models are designed to work on battery power alone, activating only when triggered by some form of sensor, limiting power usage by reducing frequency of usage to critical events. Some newer models also use solar panels combined with batteries to provide non-stop coverage.

If you're situated in off-grid places like your remote farm, cabin, rural home, and other areas without Internet or WiFi connection. You can get local recording even your security cameras have no Internet access.

IP CCTV and IP cameras are now much more than a simple deterrent, as today’s leading technology offers much more than the norm of fixed image recording. Providing greater protection for your premises, employees/customers, and assets.

Custom alerts and triggers available with IP Cameras and CCTV systems

Our CCTV systems can use video analytics to enable complex rules to be added, generating custom alarms. These events are highly customisable and allow us to tailor your security system to fit your specific requirements.

Objects can be monitored so that if they are removed, or not in the expected position it will trigger an alert. They can also generate alarms/recordings, or fire triggers based on the direction in which an object travels in or the colour of an object. The system can then be used to record high definition video, and be set up to track things like car number plates using ANPR, or specific people using facial recognition.
