CCTV Installation Newton Abbot Devon (TQ12): Over the past decade, a combination of technological advancements and decreasing costs has led to a significant uptake of security cameras and CCTV systems in Newton Abbot. However, the installation of an inadequately functioning CCTV system may not deliver the expected security advantages. To ensure maximum benefits, it is advisable to utilize the knowledge and proficiency of an accredited CCTV installation service when considering the installation of surveillance cameras on your Newton Abbot property.
TYPES OF CCTV SYSTEMS
Analogue Systems - Analogue systems employ a standard create which is able to monitor and record using a network of cameras. Recording images and video onto DVR's, these systems can additionally transmit data to your smartphone or PC via an internet link. The DVR will have an option to transfer the data stored to an external storage device, like a USB flash drive, or could have an inbuilt CD or DVD recorder to enable video and images to be handed to the relevant authorities for evidence purposes. These are intended to work as a standalone CCTV system without the need for access to the internet. Opting for a CCTV system with remote viewing functions can provide added accessibility and convenience, giving you the flexibility to access live footage of your home from anyplace with a Wi-Fi connection.
IP Systems - With IP camera systems, recording and monitoring can be provided via a local intranet, through the internet or with a wide area network. An IP address is allotted to every camera within the system, and for recording and monitoring footage these are connected to a computer or DVR. One of the benefits of IP systems is the capacity to record images and video to another location, including your smartphone, so any identifying data can't be deleted on-site by an intruder. However, the encryption and security features need to be set up correctly to stop any unauthorised viewing of your camera footage.
Cloud Based Systems - These camera systems record to remote storage based in the internet "cloud". In spite of this seemingly massive advantage, it is also actually possible to use "cloud" technology with both analogue and IP security systems. The storing of data in the "cloud" generally requires a monthly or yearly charge and is based upon the quantity of data you wish to store, and whether you want your Newton Abbot property by a CCTV security company.
LIGHTING FOR CAMERAS
Most cameras on sale now come with some kind of in-built infrared lighting to enable recording in even the gloomiest of locations. Any infrared camera will record video in black and white during the hours of darkness and at a somewhat lower resolution than those of the device's daytime recordings. If you discover your night vision resolution doesn't meet your objectives, you might be able to fit special lamps to generate a more natural light source for your CCTV system. As well as providing a bright light when any motion is detected by a camera, these lights can create artificial "daylight" conditions for your system.
As with any sort of security lighting it shouldn't be pointed where it can blind people driving vehicles on nearby roads, or shine straight onto nearby gardens.
THE LAW AND CCTV
You are not now exempt from the terms of the Data Protection Act (2018), if you've got residential CCTV cameras that capture images across the boundary of your property, into a neighbour's garden or a public area. This does not mean that they're illegal, it just means that all recordings are subject to the legislation.
The ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) should be contacted for advice on the precise rules on signs and notices for your CCTV camera system if you're monitoring a public area or space belonging to another person. To ensure that all the legal guidelines are met with regards to the siting of cameras and recording public areas, you should employ a competent CCTV installation company in Newton Abbot, rather than going with the do-it-yourself option.
You shouldn't need to get planning permission for your exterior CCTV cameras unless you are in a place of special scientific interest, you live in a conservation area, you live within a national park or you are mounting them onto a listed building. In all other properties in Newton Abbot you can avoid the need for planning permission by making certain your security cameras are fixed at least 2.5m above the ground and that they do not stick out a distance of more than one metre.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CCTV SYSTEM
There are CCTV security systems available for all houses in Newton Abbot no matter what the level of their budget and security needs. The most economical CCTV security system may still be able to offer you remote recording and monitoring from just one camera, while a multi camera, motion detecting system connected to your intruder alarm and remotely monitored by a security company, will naturally be at the higher end of the budget level. A scrupulous and professional CCTV installer in Newton Abbot will only recommend a security system that matches your specific circumstances.
A benefit of using a trusted firm is that they'll not try to get you to purchase products or equipment that isn't really necessary. Regardless of how much money you decide to shell out on your CCTV equipment, a decent installer will offer you the very best service, from purchase to installation and aftercare. Do not accept the first quote you're offered as it's always best to obtain a minimum of three itemised quotes from different CCTV companies.
To scare off burglars and trespassers some CCTV cameras may need to be fully visible and obvious, although with the correct signage concealed cameras can often prove to be equally effective. Be aware that interviews held with ex-burglars by police and insurance companies indicate that professionally fitted CCTV is the top deterrent in encouraging a would be burglar to think about a less well protected home.
CCTV camera systems are of course readily obtainable on the internet and in electronics outlets, so you might have purchased some equipment already and come to the conclusion that you need professional assistance with setting it up. You don't need to have bought your CCTV equipment from your nearby Newton Abbot professional security company in order to have them install it on your behalf. Whatever size and brand of CCTV system you might have purchased, they will have the expertise and knowledge to efficiently and quickly get it installed and connected.
ACCREDITATION, STANDARDS, TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS
You should keep an eye out for the British Standard BS EN 62676 mark, when picking CCTV cameras to install in your house in Newton Abbot. These specifications give guidance to installation teams on the recommendations for CCTV systems and how effectively they should operate. You might find that you have difficulty in resolving the situation later, if you buy and install non-standard CCTV equipment and it doesn't meet up with the levels usually provided by the company.
To make certain you are using a reputable CCTV installation company you should always look for membership or affiliation with an established trade body within the industry. The principal professional associations to watch out for in the British Isles are:
Secure By Design (SBD) - Secured by Design (or SBD), works alongside the security industry acting as a quantifiable standard for the suitability and quality of security products and projects. Its goals are to improve the physical security of all buildings by working with security installers, architects and construction firms.
The British Security Industry Association - Within the security and CCTV industry, the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) is one of the most highly regarded trade bodies. The BSIA is the only trade body that requires its members to be independently inspected, and requires that they abide by ISO 9000 regulations, and stick to all of the relevant industry Codes of Practice.
The National Security Inspectorate - The NSI is an independent trade association which promotes the security and fire safety sector through the acknowledgement of high quality companies. There is a tough process involved with obtaining NSI membership, and would-be members must demonstrate their technical ability in installing, designing and maintaining CCTV equipment and security systems. A company must also provide records and data that relate to; personal and company insurances, employee training and vetting, equipment maintenance and calibration, and also must show that its premises are suitable for the NSI's rigorous specifications. It is largely recognised by the police, fire services and major insurance companies in the United Kingdom, that NSI members have the topmost standards in the CCTV and security sector.
The Security Institute - Respected and recognised within the United Kingdom's security sector, the Security Institute boasts the biggest membership of professional companies and installers.

Workplace CCTV Newton Abbot
Companies may opt to install CCTV in a workplace for numerous reasons:
- To reduce misconduct.
- To observe the performance of employees.
- To make sure that health and safety rules are being adhered to.
- To prevent or reduce violence, theft or other crimes.
- To prevent damages to company property.
Given that mutual trust is important in employer/employee relations, this must be implemented with a high level of care. Employers must keep their staff notified about what's the intended usage of recorded imagery, how long recordings will be stored, what captured imagery is going to be used for, what information is going to be captured and stored and how monitoring will be undertaken.
Does CCTV Reduce Crime?
A typical question that is frequently asked when considering home security is "Do CCTV cameras help to prevent crime?" Most assuredly yes, appears to be the answer. Several studies have been carried out in Great Britain to verify whether or not this is the case, and the outcome has been fairly illuminating.
The two things that are most likely to forestall a break-in are the presence of CCTV cameras and barking dogs, according to research conducted by a reputable insurance firm who literally spoke to former thieves. It seems that the key issue or concern when contemplating a crime is to refrain from any action that's liable to attract attention.
Additional evidence that crime can be substantially reduced by the presence of CCTV surveillance cameras in both public and private environments was cited by the College of Policing. The numbers given were based on 41 independent studies, and it was calculated that on average 16% of criminal offenses were prevented when CCTV was present. For crimes relating to vehicles, the figures were even more impressive, with a reduction in the region of 23%. This impact is apparently even more striking when the cameras are actually monitored.
Burglars are primarily thought to be put off by:
- The fact that possible victims or crime are taking additional security precautions.
- The increased use of a protected area by the public.
- The awareness that their chances of being caught and arrested is increased.
- The real likelihood of being caught.
CCTV and the Law
If you decide to install CCTV in your home in Newton Abbot and it's set to record images beyond your property boundaries, such as a footpath, a next door neighbours' garden or a public road, your use of the CCTV system will be regulated by the UK's data protection laws.
You're not actually breaking the law by recording such images, but as a "data controller" (which is what you are viewed as), you'll need to follow the current guidelines, as set out by the Data Protection Act.
It is still possible for you to capture such images, but you need to respect the legal rights of any person whose movements you're recording, and do it in a manner that conforms to the data protection laws.
If your CCTV system is recording pictures beyond your property perimeter:
- You should only capture footage that's necessary for your purpose, and never more than is genuinely needed.
- You must never allow family members or others to misuse the system, and should only use it for the purpose for which it in intended.
- You should have a distinct reason for filming these images.
- You should, if asked, explain your rationale for capturing these pictures.
- You must erase images of individual people if they ask you to do this.
- You must at all times comply with SARs (subject access requests) within one month.
- You should only keep captured footage for as long as it's needed, and when it's not required, erase it frequently.
- You must be able to guarantee the security of recorded footage and keep it away from prying eyes.
- You should let folks know by means of signs, that you are using CCTV.
Will CCTV Lower My Insurance Costs?
This is naturally something that most property owners in Newton Abbot want to know, and to be honest "No" is the answer in most instances. A modest discount could be offered by some insurers, where CCTV is installed, but normally only when it is being used in conjunction with an intruder alarm or more elaborate security system. Many insurance companies will not even offer you money off for a security alarm unless it is professionally installed, which is of course the priciest option.
The key factors that determine the price of your home insurance is the property value, how much contents insurance you need and the postcode where you live. In fact, the current crime rate in your area is the overriding factor in relation to insurance.
If you consider this from the insurers viewpoint, they might be wondering why you're adding CCTV at all, because the reality is that most residential homes in Newton Abbot are still not protected by cameras. This may even be viewed as a heightened risk by insurers, because maybe there has been a crime surge in your part of Newton Abbot, and this is why you are turning to CCTV.
All things considered, the real reasons for CCTV installation should be that it warns off intruders, it supplies evidence in case of an offence and it raises your feeling of security.
