CCTV & Video Surveillance

Keep your premises safe,
your staff protected,
and your evidence intact.

A professional CCTV system does more than record footage, it deters incidents before they happen, protects your staff, satisfies your insurer, and provides irrefutable evidence when you need it. Airedale Tech installs managed video surveillance powered by Ubiquiti® UniFi Protect.

CCTV isn't just about catching criminals

Most business owners think about CCTV reactively, after a break-in, after a stock discrepancy, after a workplace incident. The real value of a properly installed system is what it prevents. Visible cameras deter opportunistic theft, reduce workplace disputes, protect your team, and can significantly lower your insurance premiums.

Modern IP camera systems go further still, AI-powered motion detection, remote viewing from any device, and automatic clip storage mean you're always informed and always covered, without having to watch hours of footage to find what you need.

Deterrence: the presence of professional cameras is the single most effective deterrent for opportunistic crime

Evidence: high-resolution footage that satisfies police, insurers, and employment tribunals

GDPR compliant: we advise on ICO obligations, retention policies, and signage requirements so you stay on the right side of the law

Break-ins & Theft

External intruders and opportunistic staff theft cost SMBs billions each year

Workplace Disputes

Footage resolves disputes between staff, customers, and contractors quickly and fairly

No Evidence

Without footage, incidents become your word against theirs, with investigators, insurers, and solicitors

Compliance Risk

Poorly deployed CCTV can breach GDPR, our installations come with the right documentation

Ubiquiti® UniFi Protect

Professional video surveillance that's easy to manage

Ubiquiti® UniFi Protect is an enterprise-grade video surveillance platform that combines high-resolution cameras, a local NVR (Network Video Recorder), and a powerful management interface, all without cloud subscription fees or complicated licensing.

Cameras range from discreet indoor domes to weatherproof outdoor units and wide-angle fisheyes. All footage is stored locally on the NVR, with remote access via the UniFi Protect mobile app, so you can review clips and receive motion alerts from anywhere in the world.

UniFi Protect integrates natively with UniFi Access (door control) and UniFi Talk (intercom), giving you a unified physical security platform that grows with your business, managed from a single console.

What UniFi Protect delivers

4K & HDR cameras

Crystal-clear footage in all lighting conditions, including night vision and wide dynamic range for bright entrances

AI motion detection

Distinguishes people, vehicles, and animals, so you only get alerted to what matters, not every passing shadow

Local NVR storage

All footage stored on-site, no cloud subscription fees, no monthly charges per camera, no third-party data sharing

Remote viewing & alerts

Live view and recorded footage on iOS or Android, receive instant alerts when motion is detected, anywhere in the world

Network-isolated camera VLAN

Retail integration with Shopify

Link camera footage to Shopify order and transaction data so you can review activity at the till or stockroom against your sales records in one place

We configure the UniFi Protect app on your devices and set up user accounts for anyone who needs access, with permission levels so staff see only what they're authorised to view.

GDPR & ICO Compliance Guidance

We advise on retention policies, staff notification obligations, signage requirements, and data subject access request procedures, so your system is both effective and lawful.

Common questions

How many cameras do I need for my premises?

The number of cameras depends on the size and layout of your premises and what you want to cover, entrances, car parks, stockrooms, office areas. We carry out a free site survey and recommend exactly the number and type of cameras needed to give you full coverage with no gaps or wasted spend.

Is CCTV legal? What are my obligations under GDPR?

Yes, CCTV is entirely legal for businesses, but you do have obligations under the UK GDPR and the ICO's surveillance camera code of practice. These include displaying clear signage, having a written retention policy, limiting how long footage is kept, and responding to subject access requests within one month. We advise on all of this as part of our installation service.

Can I view my cameras remotely on my phone?

Yes. UniFi Protect includes a mobile app for iOS and Android that gives you live and recorded footage from anywhere with an internet connection. You can review clips, receive motion alerts, and share access with trusted staff, all from your phone. We set this up and configure the right access levels for everyone who needs it.

How long is footage stored?

Storage duration depends on the number of cameras, the resolution settings, and the size of the NVR. We size the NVR to meet your retention requirements, typically 30 days of continuous recording for most SMBs. We can extend this with additional storage if you need longer retention for insurance, compliance, or operational reasons.

Will new cameras work with my existing network?

In most cases, yes. UniFi Protect cameras are PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices that connect to your existing network infrastructure, no separate power cabling required. If your current network needs upgrading to support additional PoE ports or camera bandwidth, we can handle that as part of the same project.

Don't wait for an incident to wish you had cameras.
