Enfield mixes long residential streets of semis and terraces with busy parades of shops and a good number of small trade units. That mix means security needs vary a lot from one address to the next. A family home on a quiet road has different priorities from a corner shop or a unit with a roller shutter. This guide walks through how we would think about cameras, entry control and TV mounting across Enfield, and what the relevant Ai Protech packages include. All prices inc. VAT.
Start with the entrances, not the camera count
Most break-ins and doorstep thefts happen at the front door, the side gate or the back door. Before choosing hardware, walk the property and list every way in. For a typical house that means the front door, the driveway or side access, the rear garden door and any ground-floor windows. A sensible camera plan covers each of those with a clear view of faces, not just a wide shot of the street.
Height and angle matter more than resolution. A camera mounted too high sees the top of a head. A camera pointing straight into a street lamp loses detail at night. Plan each position for the view you actually need, then choose the number of cameras to match.
Choosing a camera package for an Enfield home
Two residential CCTV packages cover most households:
- Home Starter: £899 inc. VAT. Two 5MP turret cameras in grey or white, a 1TB drive with around 2 weeks of footage, live viewing from your phone and motion detection alerts, installed in a single visit. It suits a flat or a small house where the front and back are the priorities.
- Home Protect: £1,499 inc. VAT. Four 4K ColorVu cameras, a 2TB drive with 3-4 weeks of footage, smart human and vehicle detection, instant alerts to your phone and active deterrence with a strobe and siren. It suits a larger house or one with a driveway and side access.
If you have already bought a camera kit online, the Own CCTV Kit Install package (£449 inc. VAT) covers fitting a customer-supplied kit of up to 4 cameras, with cables neatly concealed and the app, alerts and recording configured.
You can see how we approach residential installs on our CCTV and security page, and the local picture for the borough is on our Enfield CCTV page.
Shops and small units
Retail premises need cameras that cover the shop floor and the till, not just the door. Retail Essential (£1,399 inc. VAT) is built for that: four 4K vandal-resistant dome cameras, a dedicated cash till monitoring view, 2TB of commercial-grade storage and remote manager access from any device.
Entry control for offices and trade units
If staff and visitors come and go through a single door, an entry system gives you control over who gets in. Office Entry (£1,199 inc. VAT) includes a video intercom with keypad, a desktop reception monitor, maglock or strike installation, and an exit button and break glass. For businesses that want to manage access across several doors from a phone, Cloud Access (£2,499 inc. VAT) is a cloud-managed system with mobile credentials and a 3-door controller kit. You can read more on our access control and intercoms page, and the borough's Enfield access control page covers the local detail.
TV mounting in Enfield homes
Many Enfield homes have a living room where the TV sits on a unit because nobody has had the time to mount it. Wall mounting frees up space and gives a cleaner look, but it needs the right fixings for the wall type, and the cables need thought.
- Basic Install: £149 inc. VAT. The TV is mounted level and secure on any wall type with load-tested fixings, with cables tidied. Same-day installation is available in most areas.
- Standard Install: £229 inc. VAT. Adds full in-wall cable concealment for TVs up to 75 inches, with a safety check, tidy-up and demo included.
Where a TV is delivered from a department store and you want it up on the wall straight away, same-day slots are often available. Our TV wall mounting page has the full list of options, and there is an Enfield TV mounting page for local details.
Plan before you buy
The Home Survey & Design visit is £99 inc. VAT, and the fee is credited in full against any booking of £500 inc. VAT or more. It includes an engineer site visit, a written recommendation and fixed quote, and a camera or device placement plan. For a business, Commercial Survey & Spec is £199 inc. VAT, credited against the installation, and gives you a written specification you can show a board or an insurer.
A short checklist before you book anything:
- List every entrance and note the lighting at each one.
- Decide whether you want live viewing, recorded footage or both.
- Check where the recorder will sit and whether there is a power and network point nearby.
Our engineers hold NICEIC, NSI and SSAIB accreditations between them, and we work Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:30. If you want a price for your own property, send us the details and we will come back to you.
