The Basics

What is CCTV and what does it stand for?

CCTV stands for Closed-Circuit Television. It is a system where video signals are transmitted from cameras to a specific set of monitors or recorders, providing a secure monitoring environment for your property.

How does CCTV work and what is it used for?

CCTV captures video via high-definition cameras, processes it through a digital recorder (DVR/NVR), and allows you to view it live or via playback on your smartphone. Its primary use is for crime deterrence and safety monitoring.

Legal & Privacy

Are CCTV cameras legal in the UK?

Yes, they are legal. Domestic installations rarely require planning permission. You must ensure cameras respect neighbor privacy by not pointing directly into their private living spaces.

How to comply with GDPR for CCTV?

Businesses must register with the ICO and post clear signage. For homeowners, GDPR applies if you capture public footpaths. We offer expert advice on compliant camera positioning.

Hardware & Tech

Wired vs Wireless CCTV?

We strongly recommend **wired PoE systems**. Wired systems provide 100% reliability, zero battery hassles, and significantly higher resolution (4K) than most wireless alternatives.

Difference between DVR and NVR?

DVR is for older analog systems. NVR is the modern IP standard, allowing for AI human detection, facial recognition, and superior digital zoom without pixelation.

Costs & Value

How much does installation cost?

Professional installation varies by system size. At AiCCTV, we focus on **long-term value**. By using systems with **Zero Monthly Fees**, you save hundreds over the lifetime of the unit.
