We recently completed another CCTV installation for a returning client in Stroud, Gloucestershire. This time, the project involved securing a terraced family home, where privacy and safety are essential to everyday comfort.
Home CCTV Installation: System Overview
The system we installed consisted of home CCTV installation an 8-channel HiLook by Hikvision recorder and a full set of 8 HiLook IPC-T249HA-LU(2.8mm) cameras, offering a crisp 4MP resolution and a sleek anthracite grey finish. The camera positions were carefully selected by the homeowner to provide full coverage of key areas such as the driveway, entrances, rear of the property, and the garden surroundings.
Technically, the system runs on Power over Ethernet (PoE), which streamlines the cabling and ensures reliable power and signal transmission. To maintain a clean and tidy appearance, all cables were routed through plastic trunking. This not only keeps things organised, but also leaves room for any future installations such as lighting or data cables. Although the trunking was not painted due to budget considerations, the client has the option to paint it later to match the façade for a fully seamless look.
Access to CCTV Footage
The CCTV feed is available on the client’s living room TV as well as through the HiLook mobile app, giving them full remote access from anywhere. This setup allows for real-time monitoring (subscriptions free) of the property and vehicles, and also serves another purpose: capturing evidence of ongoing anti-social behaviour in the area. During the home CCTV installation, we were made aware of a significant and regular issue involving nearby drug use — a concern the client hopes to better document and address through the new system.
This is not our first time working with this homeowner — we previously installed a Ring video doorbell, and we’re pleased to have earned their trust once again.
We’re always proud to deliver security solutions that are not only technically solid, but also tailored and tidy. Thank you once again to our client in Stroud for choosing us for home CCTV installation.
