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.
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.
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.
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.

SPro delivers rugged commercial Starlight IP cameras, while Qvis offers proven British reliability with Viper PoE NVRs.
