Shopfront detail and practical yard coverage
Hawick properties range from traditional town-centre frontages to homes, workshops and larger business premises. Each calls for a different balance of close detail and overview coverage.
CCTV for homes and businesses in Hawick
At a home, the priority may be doors, parked vehicles and rear access. At a business, separate views can cover customer entrances, stock handling and a service yard without trying to do everything with one wide camera.
- 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 façades and shopfronts deserve careful mounting and cable planning. We consider lighting, reflections from glazing and the change in conditions after closing time.
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 Hawick
Will a camera inside a shop work through glass at night?
Reflections can make night footage through glass unreliable, particularly with infrared lighting. The installation should use a position and lighting arrangement suited to the scene.
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.
