Compare CCTV installation by coverage and accountable handover
Use a site plan showing the areas you need to monitor. Have the installer confirm the appropriate equipment, permissions and applicable requirements for that property.
| Compare | Ask each provider to confirm in writing |
|---|---|
| Installer and requirements | Who is responsible for the work, and how will any applicable SIRA requirements, building permissions and site restrictions be checked? |
| Coverage plan | Which views are required in daylight and at night? Ask the installer to record camera locations and avoid unintended views into private spaces. |
| Equipment schedule | List camera models, recorder, storage, power supplies and accessories. Separate labour-only installation from supplied equipment. |
| Cabling and making good | Which cable routes, drilling, outdoor fittings and access equipment are included? Agree repairs to finishes before work starts. |
| Recording and access | What recording duration is designed for the chosen settings? Confirm account ownership, authorised viewers and any subscription fees. |
| Testing and handover | Will each camera, playback and remote connection be demonstrated? Ask for administrator handover, documentation and warranty/support terms. |
