Choose self-monitoring via secure app alerts or professional monitoring for added peace of mind. We install dependable equipment and configure mobile app control (arm/disarm, alerts, live camera viewing), with sensible motion zones, recording settings and user access.

CCTV Installation in Cumbria
Protect entrances, driveways and key internal areas with a CCTV system designed around your property layout and daily routines. We install reliable cameras for homes and small businesses across Cumbria and configure the system so it’s easy to use from day one.
What we’ll help you choose and set up:
Camera types & placement (turret/dome/bullet) for the right coverage, angles and deterrence
Night vision & motion alerts with sensible detection zones to reduce false notifications
Recording & retention via NVR and storage sized to how long you want footage kept
Remote viewing on your phone with secure access, user permissions and device setup
Clear footage where it matters (gates, driveways, side access, back doors, garages and outbuildings)
If you’re unsure how many cameras you need, we’ll recommend a layout that covers the highest-risk entry points first, then expand to full perimeter coverage if needed.
Intruder Alarm System Installation in Cumbria
A good alarm system should be simple to arm/disarm, reliable day to day, and tailored to the parts of the property that matter most. We install intruder alarms across Cumbria for everything from family homes to rural properties and holiday lets.
Alarm options we commonly install:
Wired, wireless or hybrid systems depending on your property and whether you’re upgrading existing hardware
Door/window contacts and PIR motion sensors positioned to protect key routes through the home
Keypads and fobs for quick arming/disarming, plus app control and notifications
Zoning so you can arm parts of the home at night without triggering false alarms
Already got an older alarm? We can often modernise it—improving reliability, adding app control and replacing outdated components without starting from scratch.
Smart Security Integration (App Control, Automation & Peace of Mind)
If you want more than a siren, we can integrate CCTV and alarms into a broader smart home setup so security becomes part of your normal routine. That could be as simple as app control and alerts, or as advanced as automated lighting scenes and timed arming.
Arm/disarm from your phone (with user access levels for family or staff)
Instant alerts and event history
Quick “home/away/night” modes
Linking security to lighting (e.g., lights on when motion is detected outside)
Optional integration with other smart home systems (where appropriate)
The goal is the same: a system that helps you respond quickly and reduces the chance of an incident in the first place.
Upgrading Existing CCTV or Alarms (Tidy Retrofits)
If you already have CCTV or an alarm system installed, upgrading can be the most cost-effective route—especially if cabling and sensor locations are already good.
Common upgrade work we do:
Replace outdated DVR/NVR equipment with modern recording and remote access
Improve camera placement and upgrade to clearer sensors
Add extra cameras/sensors to cover new blind spots
Swap old alarm panels for smarter control and better reliability
Reduce false alarms by adjusting detection zones and sensor choices
Many upgrades can be completed quickly with minimal disruption, and we’ll always explain what can be reused vs what’s worth replacing.
