Dahua Installers
Dahua sits alongside Hikvision at the top of the professional CCTV market, with standout full-colour night vision and TiOC active-deterrence cameras that flash and sound a warning when someone crosses a line. We install and configure the full Dahua range for homes and businesses — cameras, NVRs, and the DMSS app — and we're regularly called to rescue half-working DIY Dahua setups.
- Full-colour night vision and TiOC active-deterrence installs
- NVR commissioning: storage, network, remote access, secure passwords
- DMSS app setup with person/vehicle smart alerts
- Repairs and upgrades to existing Dahua systems

What actually happens on install day
Most customers have never had CCTV fitted before. Here's the day, hour by hour — so you know exactly what you're saying yes to.
Walk-through & confirm
Your engineer re-confirms camera positions with you before a single hole is drilled, and lays dust sheets where cabling runs indoors.
Mounting & cabling
Cameras go up, cable runs are clipped and hidden along soffits and trunking — no draped wires, no mess left in the loft.
Focus, angles & recording
Every camera is focused, angles checked against blind spots, motion zones drawn, and night mode test-fired under cover.
Your phone, your system
The app goes on your phone, you watch yourself walk the drive, and you get the handover pack. You pay only when you're happy.
CCTV that's legal as well as safe
Badly-aimed cameras cause neighbour disputes and GDPR complaints. We set every system up compliant from day one.
What we handle for you
- Camera angles set to avoid neighbouring homes and gardens
- Privacy masking configured on shared boundaries
- CCTV signage supplied where the law requires it
- Secure passwords & encrypted remote access — no default logins
What you get in writing
- GDPR guidance sheet for home & business owners
- ICO registration walkthrough for business systems
- Footage retention & police request guide
- Full system handover document & warranty certificate

What our installs look like
Asked before every install
How much does CCTV installation cost in the UK?
It depends on your property, camera count and spec — so instead of advertising misleading 'from' prices, we quote each property exactly. Message us on WhatsApp with your postcode and what you want covered, and a fixed written quote comes back in minutes. The quote price is the invoice price, with installation, app setup and the 5-year warranty always included.
Do I need permission to install CCTV at home?
No permission is needed for standard home CCTV, but cameras covering areas beyond your boundary bring GDPR duties. We angle cameras and configure privacy masks so you're compliant from day one.
Can I view my cameras when I'm away from home?
Yes — every system we fit includes secure phone app access. Live view, playback and smart alerts work anywhere you have signal, including abroad.
How long does installation take?
Most home systems are fitted in 3–5 hours. Larger business installs are scoped at survey — usually one to two days, worked around your opening hours.
Do you install security cameras as well as CCTV?
They're the same thing wearing different names — 'CCTV' is the traditional UK term, 'security cameras' the modern one. Whatever you call it, we supply, fit and configure home and business camera systems, video doorbells and surveillance equipment nationwide.
What happens if a camera stops working?
Everything we fit carries a 5-year warranty. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll remote-diagnose the same day; if it needs a visit, your local engineer comes back free of charge.
Do you cover my town?
Almost certainly — our engineer network covers over 6,400 towns, cities and London areas across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Pop your postcode into the quote form to confirm.
Do you install Dahua TiOC cameras?
Yes — TiOC's siren-and-strobe deterrence is excellent for driveways and yards, but placement and sensitivity need care so it triggers on intruders, not foxes. We configure the smart-detection rules properly at install.
Can you fix my existing Dahua system?
Yes, whoever installed it. Common fixes: recorders showing no picture at night, remote access lost after a router change, drives full because motion recording was never configured.
Dahua or Hikvision — which should I choose?
Both are excellent; differences come down to specific models and your property. We install both daily and will spec whichever gives you more camera for your budget at the free survey.

A UK security firm, not a lead-selling website
Our engineers, our warranty, our name on it
Plenty of “CCTV comparison” sites sell your details to four strangers and disappear. We don't. CCTV Installers UK is a trading name of Fairdeal Renovations Limited, registered in England and Wales (Company No. 15026869) — the engineer who surveys your property carries our warranty, our insurance and our reputation.
From a one-camera terrace to a 32-camera distribution yard, the standard is identical: tidy cabling, hardened passwords, compliant angles, and an app that just works.
Why we cover the whole of the UK
Security shouldn't depend on your postcode. Cities get plenty of installers; villages get voicemail. Our nationwide engineer network means a farm in Cumbria books the same free survey, the same fixed pricing and the same 5-year warranty as a flat in Canary Wharf.
Wherever you are — every London borough, every market town, every island ferry ride away — there's a local page, a local price and a local engineer.
Fitted once, covered for five years
Every camera, cable, recorder and doorbell we install is covered — parts and labour — for five full years. If it fails, we fix it. No quibbles, no call-out fee, no small print.
