Entrances, shared access and busy streets
Galashiels combines town-centre commercial premises with residential streets and shared access routes. A useful CCTV design separates the view of your entrance from general street activity.
CCTV for homes and businesses in Galashiels
For homes with side passages or shared approaches, we consider precise camera angles and privacy masking. For shops and other premises, entrance detail and service access may need separate views.
- Residential entrances, driveways, garages and gardens
- Shops, offices, workshops and commercial premises
- Rural access routes and outbuildings where suitable connections can be planned
A design that respects the property
Traditional frontages and vennels around the historic centre can make cable routes and camera positioning important. We discuss discreet mounting and check whether the specific property sits within a conservation area.
Conservation areas cover parts of the town, not every address. Check the council’s conservation-area maps and any listed-building status before agreeing mounting work. The Scottish Government’s CCTV planning guidance explains the limits of permitted development.
From survey to handover
We discuss your priorities, assess camera positions and cable routes, then explain the proposed equipment and cost. Installation includes configuration, testing and a demonstration of live view and playback.
Remote viewing can be added where the connection and equipment support it. Existing systems can also be assessed for upgrades or fault finding.

Questions about CCTV in Galashiels
Can a camera cover a shared entrance?
It may be possible, but the purpose, necessary coverage and the interests of other users need to be considered. We recommend a narrowly focused view and clear communication with those affected.
How much does CCTV installation cost?
The price depends on the number of cameras, the detail you need to capture, cable routes, access equipment and recording storage. A survey lets us give you a clear, property-specific quote rather than an unsuitable off-the-shelf price.
Can CCTV work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Wired PoE cameras carry power and video over network cable. They can record to a local NVR without Wi-Fi or internet. An internet connection is needed for remote viewing away from the property.
