Security cameras across Dunstable
Dunstable and Houghton Regis cover a lot of ground, from the older streets around the Priory and the town centre to large new estates on the edge of Houghton Regis. We fit CCTV for homes, landlords and the many businesses on the Woodside estate and other industrial areas.
Commercial customers usually want yards, loading bays and car parks covered with long-range night vision, while homeowners want the front door and drive watched and alerts sent to their phone.
On the hills around the Downs and in villages such as Kensworth and Totternhoe, we also fit cameras for smallholdings and stables, where gates, tack rooms and horseboxes are the priority.
Homes on the edge of Dunstable that back onto the Downs or open fields often need cameras covering rear fences and gates, where intruders can approach without being seen from the road.
As well as central Dunstable, we regularly work in Houghton Regis, Caddington, Totternhoe, Kensworth and Toddington.

Fixing faulty CCTV in Dunstable
If your cameras have stopped recording, gone blank or vanished from your phone, we can usually put it right in one visit. We repair most makes of CCTV in Dunstable, including systems fitted by other companies or that came with the house.
Typical problems we are called out for:
one camera showing nothing while the rest work, often a failed joint or camera.
motion alerts triggering all night, fixed with better positioning and smarter detection.
everything off after a power cut or surge, often a power supply or recorder fault.
the recorder beeping, rebooting or showing a disk error, and footage missing when you need it.
a camera now pointing at the sky, the ground or next door after being knocked.
an app that shows "device offline" even though the cameras are working at home.
Homes close to the Downs get strong winds, so cameras knocked out of line and water in exposed connections are typical repairs. On the industrial estates, we often replace failed power supplies and long-range cameras.
A quick WhatsApp with a photo of the recorder screen or the app error often lets us diagnose the fault before we arrive, so we bring the right parts. We always give you the price before starting, and we will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense than repair.
- Every camera tested by day and in night mode
- Recording and storage checked, not just the live view
- Software updated and passwords reset
- Phone app working again before we leave
Getting more from an older Dunstable system
If your footage is too blurry to recognise a face or a number plate, the cameras are probably an older analogue type. HD cameras will often run on your existing cabling, so an upgrade can be quicker than you think.
Modern systems add colour night vision, person and vehicle detection to cut false alerts, and enough storage to keep weeks of footage.
Home CCTV in Dunstable
Most post-war homes in Dunstable need a straightforward three- or four-camera layout covering the front, the back and the side access. For terraced homes in Dunstable, two or three cameras usually cover the front door, the back garden and any shared passageway, angled so they don't look into neighbours' gardens.
Recordings are stored on a recorder in your home, not just in the cloud, so you stay in control of your footage.
Commercial security cameras in Dunstable
Businesses across Dunstable and Luton use our CCTV to protect premises, deter theft and keep an eye on sites out of hours. Remote access lets you or your managers check in from anywhere, and recordings are easy to export when an incident happens.

Staying on the right side of CCTV rules in Dunstable
Home CCTV that only covers your own property is simple. If it records beyond your boundary, the ICO says data protection law applies. That means having a clear reason for recording, putting up signs, keeping footage secure, deleting it regularly, and responding to requests from people who appear in it.
We aim cameras at your property and use privacy masks on the recorder where needed, which keeps things simple.
Adding an alarm to your Dunstable CCTV
Many Dunstable customers pair their cameras with an intruder alarm, so a break-in triggers both a loud warning and an alert on their phone. Visible cameras and an alarm box on the front of the house are a strong deterrent on their own.

CCTV in Dunstable: common questions
Can you fix an existing CCTV system in Dunstable?
Yes. We repair most makes of CCTV in Dunstable, including systems fitted by other installers or left by a previous owner. If we cannot get into the recorder, we can usually reset it and set it up again.
How much does a CCTV repair cost in Dunstable?
We price each repair before starting. A photo of the camera or the error on WhatsApp often lets us say roughly what is wrong and what it will cost.
How quickly can you fix my CCTV in Dunstable?
Dunstable is about 12 miles from our St Albans office, so we can often visit within a day or two, and sooner for businesses left without working cameras.
Do you charge for a CCTV survey in Dunstable?
No, a site survey in Dunstable costs nothing. Dunstable is roughly 12 miles from our office, and we can often visit within a few days.
Will I be able to view the cameras when I am away from Dunstable?
Yes. We set up the app on your phone (and anyone else you choose) before we leave, with live view, playback and alerts.
Can you upgrade my old analogue cameras?
Usually. We check the condition of the cable at your Dunstable property first; if it is sound, new HD cameras and a recorder can go straight onto it.
How many cameras does a Dunstable home need?
Most detached and rural homes around Dunstable need four to eight cameras. We will recommend the fewest that cover every entrance and boundary.
Is home CCTV legal in Dunstable?
No permission is needed for cameras covering your own property. If they also capture the street or a neighbour's garden, data protection law applies, so we use careful positioning and privacy masks.
Which parts of Dunstable do you cover?
All of Dunstable and the LU5 and LU6 area, including Houghton Regis, Caddington, Totternhoe, Kensworth and Toddington. We also cover Luton, Leighton Buzzard and Harpenden nearby.
