Hardware Architecture

CCTV System Types We Install: IP, PoE, 4K & Coax Upgrades

We configure and install every major security camera architecture used in the UK. Whether building an enterprise IP network system or replacing an obsolete analogue coaxial setup, we use only high-specification components engineered for decades of reliability.

IP & PoE CCTV Systems

Power over Ethernet (PoE) connects each camera via a single Cat6 network cable directly to the NVR. Delivers 4K video, audio, power, and PTZ controls with zero interference.

4K Ultra HD Security

8 Megapixel (3840x2160) resolution delivers four times the clarity of standard 1080p HD, allowing digital zooming on vehicle number plates and facial features without blur.

Wired vs Wi-Fi CCTV

While battery Wi-Fi cameras suffer from dead batteries and dropped signals through thick British brickwork, hardwired solid copper ensures 100% recording uptime in any weather.

Analogue & Coax Upgrades

Have an older system with existing RG59 coaxial cables? We can upgrade your old blurry cameras and obsolete DVR to modern 5MP/4K HD-TVI or pull new Cat6 through existing cavities.

Property Sizing & Capacity

Frequently Asked Questions on CCTV Installation

Clear, honest trade answers to the most common homeowner and commercial security questions. No jargon and no hidden fees.

How much does professional CCTV installation cost in the UK?

Professional CCTV installation typically ranges from £495 for a 2-camera starter system to £695 for a 4-camera 4K ColorVu system, £995 for 6 cameras, and £1,495 for 8 commercial cameras. Costs depend on camera resolution, cabling difficulty, and storage capacity. All ADI Communications systems feature lifetime zero monthly subscription fees.

Key Cost Components:
• 2-Camera Starter Pack: £495 (ideal for semi-detached front & driveway)
• 4-Camera 4K ColorVu Pack: £695 (full 360-degree perimeter protection)
• Customer-Supplied Kit Fitting: £220 to £380 (labor & solid Cat6 cabling only)

Can you install a CCTV kit that I already bought myself?

Yes. We offer professional fitting for customer-supplied CCTV kits including Swann, Reolink, Lorex, Eufy, and Hikvision. We mount the cameras neatly, run concealed cables through lofts or cavity walls, configure the recorder, and set up your smartphone remote viewing apps.

What's Included With Customer Kit Fitting:
• Professional ladder and roofline mounting without ugly surface brackets
• Concealed solid-copper Cat6 cable routing through lofts or cavity walls
• Complete NVR setup, hard drive initialization, and smartphone app pairing

Do I have to pay monthly subscription fees for CCTV recording?

No. Unlike consumer cloud cameras like Ring or Nest that require ongoing £5 to £15 monthly fees, our professional systems record directly to dedicated local surveillance hard drives (WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk). You own 100% of your footage with zero monthly fees forever.

Local NVR vs Cloud Subscription:
• Ring / Nest: £60 to £180 per year forever + requires internet to record
• Professional NVR: £0 monthly fees + continuous 24/7 recording even offline
• 100% GDPR compliant privacy with footage stored securely inside your premises

Can I view my CCTV cameras on my mobile phone when away from home?

Yes. Every CCTV system we install includes free smartphone app configuration (Hik-Connect, DMSS, SPro View, or Qvis Pro) on iOS and Android. You can view live high-definition video, receive smart motion alerts, and play back recordings anywhere in the world.

Mobile Viewing Features:
• Multi-device access on iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and Windows/Mac PCs
• Instant AI push alerts when humans or vehicles step onto your driveway
• Remote optical zoom, two-way audio talk, and one-tap video clip exports

What is the difference between Hikvision ColorVu, Dahua TiOC, SPro, and Qvis?

Hikvision ColorVu provides 24/7 full-colour night optics using F1.0 super-apertures. Dahua TiOC features 3-in-1 active deterrence with flashing red/blue strobes and sirens to warn off intruders. SPro delivers rugged commercial Starlight IP cameras, while Qvis offers proven British reliability with Viper PoE NVRs.

Brand Specialty Comparison:
• Hikvision ColorVu: Best for full-color forensic night vision without glare
• Dahua TiOC: Best for actively stopping prowlers with flashing strobes & sirens
• SPro / Qvis: Best for commercial vandal resistance and British PoE reliability
