CCTV & Visual Surveillance for Residential Properties in Surrey


Clear, reliable CCTV designed to protect your home and support you when it matters


Why Choose a CCTV System for Your Home?


A home CCTV system should do more than capture something  it should provide clear, usable footage that helps you identify people and vehicles, understand what happened, and support police or insurance if needed.


OC Services designs, installs and maintains residential CCTV and visual surveillance systems across Surrey, with careful attention to camera placement, lighting, recording quality and storage  so your system performs properly day and night.

Our Domestic CCT Solutions

IP CCTV systems

A strong option for homeowners who want higher detail and flexibility. - Higher resolution for faces and vehicles - PoE options (single cable for power + data) - Easier to expand over time

Analogue CCTV systems

A reliable, cost-effective option for straightforward coverage. - Dependable overview monitoring - Often lower up-front cost - Uses DVR recording equipment

Recording equipment: NVR vs DVR

  • NVR: records IP cameras
  • DVR: records analogue cameras

We also plan channel capacity so you can add cameras later without replacing the recorder.

Storage & retention (how long footage is kept)

Storage depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate and recording mode (continuous vs motion). We size storage so your retention matches your needs  without losing important footage too soon.

Viewing & screen size

If you need to identify faces or vehicles, your monitor and recorder must support the camera resolution. Well recommend a practical screen setup based on how youll use the system.

App monitoring (self-monitoring)

We can configure remote viewing so authorised users can check cameras anytime.

Professional monitoring (ARC)

Where appropriate, CCTV can be connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) for professional monitoring (annual fee + maintenance plan typically required).

Video doorbells (as part of the wider plan)

Video doorbells are excellent for the doorway, but they're not a full CCTV solution. We can integrate doorbell coverage into a complete home surveillance plan.

GDPR & signage (homeowners)

If cameras capture beyond your private boundary (e.g., public pavement/road), GDPR/DPA18 responsibilities can apply. Well advise on sensible positioning and signage.

Should I choose IP or analogue CCTV for my home?

How long will my CCTV recordings be kept?

How long will my CCTV recordings be kept?

Do I need a big screen?

Do I need a big screen?

No - in fact, many domestic installations do not require a screen at all, with users preferring to access their footage via the smartphone/tablet application instead. However, if you wish to have a monitor as part of your system (e.g. to identify faces or vehicles), the correct screen size and resolution will be needed, in most cases an existing screen that you already have in your house can be used for this purpose. We'll discuss these requirements during your survey and recommend a practical setup.

Do you offer maintenance?

Do you offer maintenance?

Yes  we offer one-off, ad-hoc and annual maintenance packages. Planned servicing helps keep cameras clean, aligned and recording reliably.
