For the majority of individuals, the security of their property is high on the list of concerns especially if the property is unoccupied for most of the day due to work commitments. Many people are addressing these concerns by installing CCTV at their property but how easy is it to install it yourself or do you need to pay a company to do this for you?

There are two main types of CCTV systems on the market wired systems and wireless. Wired systems can be trickier to fit as this will involve routing the cables through your property possibly in the loft or under the flooring. A wireless system is much simpler to install and so if you are fitting it yourself a wireless system would probably be a better option.

Most wireless systems have an app that you install on your mobile device so that you can view footage from the cameras. Some have a recording box so that you can access the footage at a later date. It is important to have this box hidden from view so that should you have a burglary at your property the video evidence is safe.

Installing the cameras is a straightforward process as cameras can be wall mounted or set on shelving or bookcases the latter option means that they can be moved as required.
