    24/7 Residential and Commercial CCTV Monitoring Services

    If you only view CCTV footage in arrears, you'll never be able to prevent crimes from taking place on your property, only respond to them. 

    At Chris Lewis, we professionally monitor your security cameras and deal with incidents in real-time, allowing you to proactively deter criminal activity before it's too late. 

    Remote Monitored CCTV

    Increased Security

    An unmonitored security camera does little to prevent the initial crime on your premises. A remote CCTV monitoring team will have someone on duty 24/7 that is trained to tackle events quickly.

    Reduced Cost

    Security guards are expensive. A security guard on site 24/7 costs around £100k a year. Remote CCTV monitoring gives you the same benefits starting from £15 per camera, per month. 

    Peace of Mind

    Your property and assets are in the safe hands of security professionals. Monitoring and reacting to events is their responsibility. Your key holders or employees won't have to put themselves in danger. 

    How Monitored CCTV Works

    We configure your CCTV system to transmit the live footage to our professional security experts, where someone will be monitoring the feed 24/7. The team watching are highly trained to respond in a safer and more timely manner than standard employees or key holders.

    CCTV Monitoring FAQs

    What is remote CCTV monitoring?

    Remote CCTV monitoring involves having your CCTV system watched 24/7 by a professional monitoring team, who can view your cameras in real-time from an off-site location. If suspicious activity is detected, they can take immediate action, such as contacting you, deploying security, or notifying emergency services.

    How does remote CCTV monitoring work?

    Your CCTV cameras are linked to a remote monitoring center where trained security personnel view the live feeds. When any suspicious behaviour is detected, the monitoring team follows pre-agreed protocols, which can include alerting authorities or contacting you to verify the situation.

    Why should I choose remote CCTV monitoring for my property?

    Remote CCTV monitoring adds an extra layer of security by providing real-time surveillance without needing someone physically on-site. It ensures that any unusual activity is addressed immediately, which helps prevent incidents like theft, vandalism, or unauthorised access, even when no one is present at the location.

    Can remote CCTV monitoring be used for both homes and businesses?

    Yes, remote monitoring is suitable for both residential and commercial properties. It provides continuous protection for businesses after hours and homes when occupants are away, ensuring peace of mind no matter the property type.

    Can I still access my CCTV footage with remote monitoring?

    Yes, even with remote monitoring in place, you can still access your CCTV footage at any time via a secure app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. This allows you to check in on your property whenever needed, in addition to the remote team monitoring it.

    Can I upgrade my existing CCTV system to include remote monitoring?

    Yes, if you already have a CCTV system installed, we can upgrade it to include remote monitoring. This can enhance your existing system by adding 24/7 professional surveillance to ensure you’re always covered.

    What types of properties benefit from remote CCTV monitoring?

    Remote CCTV monitoring is beneficial for all types of properties, including homes, offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and industrial sites. Any property that requires constant surveillance, especially when unoccupied, will benefit from the added security that remote monitoring provides.
