Frequently Asked Questions - Home CCTV Installation Wanstead
What CCTV resolution do you recommend for Wanstead properties?
For most domestic properties in Wanstead, 2MP (1080p) or 4MP cameras provide clear footage at a reasonable cost. We recommend 4K (8MP) cameras for high-priority positions such as the front door, driveway, or any area where you need to identify faces or read number plates at a distance. A mixed system with 4K on key positions and 2MP on secondary coverage areas is often the best balance of quality and budget.
Can I view my Wanstead CCTV remotely?
Yes. All Uniview systems we install include remote viewing through the EZView app on iOS and Android. You can view live footage from all cameras, play back recorded footage, download clips for evidence, and receive motion detection alerts. The app works on mobile data and Wi-Fi, so you can check your Wanstead property from anywhere with an internet connection.
How long does CCTV footage record for in Wanstead?
Recording duration depends on the NVR storage capacity, the number of cameras, and the resolution. As a guide, a 4-camera 2MP system with a 2TB NVR typically records approximately 14 days of continuous footage. With motion-only recording enabled, that extends to 30 days or more. We configure the retention period during installation based on your requirements.
Do I need planning permission for CCTV in Wanstead?
Domestic CCTV on your own property in Wanstead does not generally require planning permission. If your cameras overlook a public area or a neighbour's property, ICO guidance on domestic CCTV applies, and you should display signage. For commercial CCTV, data protection regulations require signage, a documented purpose, and reasonable retention periods. We advise on these requirements during the survey.
Can you upgrade my existing CCTV system in Wanstead?
Yes. We regularly upgrade older analogue CCTV systems in Wanstead to modern IP cameras. If your existing cabling is Cat5e or better, we can often reuse it, which reduces the installation cost. If the cabling is older coaxial, replacement may be needed. We assess this during the free site survey and include any cabling work in the quote.
