CCTV installation in Harpenden
Harpenden's detached period homes — around the Common, along West Common and out towards East Hyde — tend to share a shape: a long plot, a deep rear garden, and more ways in than the front door. A single doorbell camera doesn't cover that. We design CCTV around the whole plot: drive, side access, garden and outbuildings, with a video intercom on the gate or door.

Hikvision ColorVu — full-colour vision, day and night
Designed for Harpenden properties
We know the run of housing here — Victorian and Edwardian brick near the station, larger post-war plots off Luton Road, barn conversions towards Kimpton. Cable routes are planned to respect period brickwork and mature planting: discreet runs, no drooping catenary wires across a listed frontage.
Long gardens & rear access
Rear gardens backing onto fields or the Common are the usual way in. Colour night-vision cameras on the rear elevation and garden buildings close that gap.
Period property, tidy install
Conservation-minded cable routing — through eaves and soffits, not across face brickwork — keeps the frontage clean.
Gates & driveways
Video intercoms on existing gate posts, with release from your phone, suit the long drives off the Commons.
One system, watched from your phone
Hikvision ColorVu cameras with full-colour night vision, AcuSense person and vehicle detection, video door and gate intercoms with phone answer, and an NVR keeping weeks of footage on your premises. See the kit and the app in detail →

Asked around here
Do you cover outbuildings and garden offices?
Yes — garden offices, gyms and workshops are prime targets precisely because they're away from the house. A camera and a wired or wireless link brings them onto the same recorder and app as everything else.
We back onto open land — does that change the design?
It changes where the cameras face. Boundaries with field or common access get priority coverage with colour-at-night cameras and person-detection alerts, so you hear about someone crossing the boundary, not a fox.
