Why we fit Hikvision.
The cameras in our packages are the ones we would put on our own houses. What they do, in plain terms:
Full colour at night
ColorVu cameras keep colour in near-darkness, so a jacket is red, not grey.
Knows a person from a fox
Human and vehicle detection, so alerts are for what matters and the cat is ignored.
Live on your phone
Every system is set up on your phone before we leave, with recording you can scrub back through.
Deterrence, not just evidence
Strobe and siren on the higher packages; a visible camera is a reason to pick another house.
CCTV installation across London and the M25
We install CCTV for houses, flats, shops, offices and warehouses in every London borough and the towns inside the M25, from four cameras on a terrace to a 16-camera site. The same fixed prices apply everywhere we work.
Home CCTV: three fixed-price packages
Home Starter at £899 inc. VAT covers two cameras, a recorder and live viewing on your phone. Home Protect at £1,499 inc. VAT, our most popular home package, fits four 4K ColorVu cameras and a 2TB recorder with human and vehicle detection. Estate Elite at £2,799 inc. VAT has eight 4K AI cameras and an auto-tracking PTZ for larger properties. Most home packages are fitted in a single visit, usually three to six hours for four cameras, and every system is set up in the Hik-Connect app before we leave.
Shops, offices and warehouses
Retail Essential at £1,399 inc. VAT puts four vandal-resistant 4K domes over the shop floor and the till. Business Pro at £3,199 inc. VAT runs eight AI analytics cameras with footfall counting, and Industrial Site at £6,499 inc. VAT is a 16-camera 4K system with auto-tracking PTZs and number-plate recognition. Commercial sites are surveyed first (Commercial Survey & Spec £199 inc. VAT, credited against the installation) and quoted in writing.
Wired, aimed and within the rules
We fit wired PoE systems, one cable per camera, so there are no batteries and no Wi-Fi dropouts. Every camera is aimed and privacy-masked on the day so it records your property, not the pavement or the neighbours. Already bought cameras? Own CCTV Kit Install at £449 inc. VAT fits up to four.
CCTV or an alarm already fitted and playing up?
Book a repair call-out online at any time: from £99 inc. VAT, with the first hour of diagnosis included. Engineers attend Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:30. See CCTV repair and burglar alarm repair.

How much does CCTV installation cost in London?
With Ai Protech, fitted CCTV in London costs £899 inc. VAT for Home Starter (two 5MP cameras, a 1TB recorder and live view on your phone), £1,499 inc. VAT for Home Protect (four 4K ColorVu cameras, a 2TB recorder and human and vehicle detection) and £2,799 inc. VAT for Estate Elite (eight 4K AI cameras, an auto-tracking PTZ and a 4TB recorder). Business packages start at £1,399 inc. VAT for Retail Essential (four 4K vandal-resistant dome cameras); shops, offices and warehouses are surveyed first and quoted in writing, with the final invoice after completion. To book, pick a package and a date on this page, or request a quote at aiprotech.co.uk/quote.
Do I need permission to put CCTV on my house?
Not for a private home. If a camera can see beyond your boundary, such as the pavement or a neighbour's garden, UK GDPR applies: keep coverage to your own property where you can, put up a sign and let neighbours know. We aim every camera and set privacy masks during the installation.
Can I watch the cameras on my phone?
Yes. Every system is set up in the Hik-Connect app before we leave, with live view, playback and motion alerts. You can add family members or staff with their own logins.
Wired or wireless cameras?
We fit wired PoE systems: one cable per camera carries power and video, so there are no batteries to charge and no Wi-Fi dropouts. Cables are clipped or concealed and the recorder sits wherever you have power and your router. Our guide on wired versus wireless CCTV goes into the detail. Read the wired vs wireless guide.
How long does the installation take?
Most home packages are fitted in a single visit, usually three to six hours for four cameras, including cabling, aiming and the app setup. Larger commercial systems run over the days agreed in the quote.
Will the cameras work at night?
ColorVu cameras keep full colour in near-darkness, so clothing and vehicle colours are usable. Standard cameras switch to infrared black and white. Human and vehicle detection means alerts are for people and cars, not cats and foxes.
Do you install cameras I have already bought?
Yes. The "Bring your own kit" packages cover fitting and setting up cameras and a recorder you have purchased elsewhere: Own CCTV Kit Install is £449 inc. VAT for up to four cameras and Own CCTV Kit Pro is £699 inc. VAT for five to eight.
Do you fit burglar alarms as well as cameras?
Yes. Home alarms start at £699 inc. VAT for the Flat/Apartment package: a fully wireless system with a smart hub and keypad, one door contact, two motion sensors, app control and instant notifications. The Family Home package is £1,099 inc. VAT with a 4G backup hub, photo-verification sensors and an external solar siren. Shops start at £999 inc. VAT with a Grade 2 panel, individual staff user codes and a hold-up panic button. The home survey, £99 inc. VAT, is credited in full against any booking of £500 or more.
Bigger site? We survey first, then design it.
A warehouse gets a camera on every racking aisle and every goods door. A shop gets the till and the floor. We walk the site, spec the system around the building and the way you work, and price it as a written quote. Installation runs over as many days as it needs; the final invoice follows completion.
- Number-plate recognition and auto-tracking cameras where they earn their keep
- Footfall counting and heat maps on retail systems
- 24/7 monitoring-station compatible recorders
- Alarms, access control and intercoms designed into the same system
