CCTV Installation in Coventry

Home and small business CCTV across CV1 to CV6

Looking for CCTV installation in Coventry? DACT Fire & Security has designed and fitted security systems since 2012. We are SSAIB accredited, so our work is independently audited every year. Every survey and install is carried out by our own engineers, not subcontractors.

Our office is in Rugby and our engineers live across the Midlands, so Coventry is well within the area we cover. If you are closer to Rugby, see our CCTV installation in Rugby page.

Home CCTV Installation in Coventry

Coventry homes vary a lot, from Victorian terraces in Earlsdon and Chapelfields to 1930s semis and new-build estates on the edge of the city. We plan each system around your property rather than fitting a standard kit.

A home system usually includes:

  • 4K cameras. Sharp detail on front doors, drives and gardens.
  • Full-colour night vision. Useful for side alleys and back gardens after dark.
  • Phone app viewing. Live and recorded footage wherever you are.
  • Privacy masking. Blocks out neighbours’ windows and gardens, which matters on close terraced streets.
  • Neat cabling. Routed and hidden as tidily as the building allows.

We cover all of CV1 to CV6, including Allesley, Tile Hill, Wyken, Binley and Cheylesmore. Many customers add an intruder alarm or video intercom and access control at the same time.

Small Business CCTV in Coventry

From shops on Earlsdon Street and Far Gosford Street to trade units on the city’s industrial estates, Coventry businesses need cameras that record clearly and are simple to check. We fit systems for smaller premises, including:

  • Shops and convenience stores
  • Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
  • Hair and beauty salons
  • Trade units and workshops
  • Small offices and practices

Set up for UK GDPR. Business CCTV records staff and customers, so we fit the right signage and set how long footage is kept before we hand the system over.

Simple to use. We show you and your staff how to find and export footage if you ever need it for the police or your insurer.

For larger sites, multi-site businesses or systems with a maintenance contract, see our commercial CCTV installation page.

CCTV Repair And Maintenance in Coventry

We repair and service home and small business CCTV across Coventry, including systems fitted by other installers. Common jobs include:

  • Cameras offline. Often after a new broadband router or a power cut.
  • Blurred or cloudy pictures. Dirty lenses, moisture or cameras knocked out of position.
  • Recorder faults. A full or failed hard drive means nothing is being saved.
  • App problems. Footage that stopped showing after a new phone or password change.
  • Older systems. Replacing worn-out cameras and recorders with modern IP equipment.

Our engineers are trained to the standards set by our SSAIB accreditation, so a repair gets the same care as a new install.

CCTV in Coventry: Common Questions

How do I get a quote?

If you can give us enough detail over the phone, we can send you a quote straight away. If not, we offer a free site survey: an engineer visits, looks at what you want to cover and where cables can run, then we send a written quote.

Do I need planning permission?

Usually not, if the cameras point mainly at your own property. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Coventry City Council before cameras go on the front of the building.

What if my cameras can see next door or the street?

UK GDPR applies to anything recorded beyond your boundary. We angle cameras carefully, use privacy masking to block out neighbours’ windows and gardens, and fit signage where it is needed.

How long does an installation take?

A standard four-camera home system usually takes about one working day. Larger systems or hidden cabling can take one and a half to two days.
