Independent CCTV installation across Buckingham and MK18. We're a small local team — same engineer surveys, installs, hands over and answers the phone if anything ever goes wrong. No sub-contractors, no pressure sales, no monthly fees.
Aylesbury Aerials & Satellites covers Buckingham and the wider MK18 postcode — town centre, Page Hill, Bourton, Maids Moreton, Tingewick, Akeley, Gawcott, Padbury and the surrounding north-Bucks villages. Independent, locally engineered, by the engineer who'll be at your door.
We install 4K HikVision and Dahua systems across the listed Georgian frontages around Market Square, Castle Street and West Street; the Victorian and Edwardian housing around Stratford Road and London Road; the modern estates at Page Hill, Lace Hill and Linden Village; and the commercial premises along the A422 corridor.
Every install is signal-tested, weatherproofed, cabled neatly with no surface trunking unless you ask for it, set up on every phone you need, and backed by a two-year workmanship guarantee. If we can't make it work, you don't pay.
Buckingham is a historic market town with a tight Georgian conservation core, wrapped in mid-20th-century residential and modern infill, and surrounded by rural villages where mains power and broadband aren't always at the boundary. The right CCTV plan changes on every street.
Old Town (around Market Square, Castle Street and the Old Gaol) is largely Georgian and conservation-listed. The Victorian and Edwardian belt around Stratford Road, London Road and Bourton Road is established residential. Page Hill, Lace Hill and Linden Village are modern new-build with pre-cabled conduit. Each one needs a different camera and mounting plan.
The Buckingham conservation area covers the Market Square, Castle Street, Church Street, Well Street and the Old Gaol approach. Many properties are Grade II listed. We handle Buckinghamshire Council Listed Building Consent applications in-house and propose camera positions behind existing architectural features.
MK18 sees the north-Bucks pattern of vehicle theft from longer rural drives, occasional agricultural-equipment theft from outbuildings and a relatively low residential burglary rate that's nonetheless concentrated around the Page Hill and Linden Village edges. Driveway-facing 4K turret cameras with ANPR and integration with existing alarms are our most common brief.
Buckingham town centre, Page Hill, Lace Hill, Linden Village, Bourton, Bourton Park. Maids Moreton, Foscote, Akeley, Padbury, Gawcott, Tingewick, Radclive, Chackmore and the surrounding A413/A421 corridor villages. Same-day surveys whenever we can fit them in.
Every camera scenario below we cover across Buckingham on a weekly basis. The mix of jobs tells you what local properties actually need.
2-, 4-, 6- and 8-camera 4K systems for houses — driveway, front door, side returns, garden and outbuildings. Full colour night vision down to 0.001 lux, smart motion zones to ignore the cat and the bin lorry, push notifications to your phone, and 30 days of recording on a hidden NVR.
Industrial-grade installs for warehouses, trade counters, retail and offices. Evidential-quality 4K footage, ONVIF-compliant cameras, RAID-protected NVR storage, vehicle ANPR at gates and integration with intruder alarms and access control.
Cameras down, recorder won't boot, app stopped working, hard drive full, footage missing or unreadable? We diagnose, repair or replace — keeping most of the existing kit and cabling where we can. Most repair call-outs are sorted in a single visit.
Got D1 or 960H analogue cameras from a previous decade? We re-use the existing coax with HDCVI / HDTVI / TVI cameras and a modern recorder — full HD or 4K resolution without re-cabling the building. The cheapest way to bring a tired system back to life.
Outbuildings, gates, paddocks, stables and rural properties where buried cable isn't practical. Wi-Fi cameras with mesh-extender support, solar-powered standalone units and 4G-backed systems with cloud-only recording.
Wired Hikvision and Dahua video doorbells, intercom panels and electric strike releases integrated into the wider CCTV — one app for cameras, door release and recording. Far more reliable than battery doorbells that disconnect every fortnight.
Temporary CCTV towers and rapid-deploy 4G cameras for construction sites, plant compounds and short-term commercial security — daily, weekly or hire-period rates with full image-quality coverage.
Annual service to clean lenses, check focus, test motion recording, verify backup integrity, update firmware and replace failing kit before it lets you down. Recommended for any commercial system you'd present to an insurer.
Listed Georgian frontages — discreet camera bodies, conservation-grade fixings, internal cable runs and Bucks Council Listed Building Consent handled in-house.
Victorian and Edwardian semis and detached — front-elevation and rear-garden coverage, integration with existing intruder alarms.
Modern new-build estates with pre-cabled conduit — wired 4K systems, hidden NVRs and wireless mesh to garden offices.
Newer detached and semi-detached estate housing — driveway-facing 4K turret cameras and wired video doorbells.
Village fringes of Buckingham — perimeter wireless cameras, video doorbells and front-door coverage.
Rural village properties with paddocks and outbuildings — 4G-backed and solar-powered cameras, wireless mesh to a central NVR.
Smaller villages and farms — ANPR-equipped gate cameras and perimeter coverage of yards and stables.
Trade counters, small industrial units, professional offices — evidential-quality 4K CCTV, ANPR at vehicle gates and remote monitoring.
We only fit CCTV brands with proper UK distribution, real five-year warranties and firmware that keeps getting security updates. No cheap re-badged kit from the back of an auction site — if it fails in two years, you'll struggle to get parts.
Our default for residential — ColorVu colour night vision, AcuSense smart detection and reliable 4K turret and bullet cameras with five-year warranty.
Workhorse commercial range — Starlight low-light cameras, WizSense AI analytics and rugged dome cameras for warehouses, retail and industrial units.
For tech-savvy homeowners and businesses already running UniFi networking — clean app, no monthly fees and stunning low-light performance.
Budget-friendly residential alternative when you want a quality wired system without the HikVision pricing.
Realistic Buckingham prices for a fully installed system. The free survey produces a fixed written quote — and we always show you the exact kit list and where each camera will sit before you commit.
View full pricingTell us what you're trying to protect, where the property is, how many cameras you think you need and the rough budget. We'll give you a realistic ballpark within ten minutes.
We come to you, walk the property, identify camera positions, plan cable routes, check wifi or 4G signal where relevant and confirm the kit list. You get a fixed written quote on the day.
Most domestic systems are installed inside a day. Cameras are weatherproofed, cable is run through wall / loft / soffit (no surface trunking unless you ask), the NVR is hidden in a discreet location and the app is set up on every device you need.
We show you how to use the app, how to scrub back through footage, how to export clips for police or insurance, and how to add or remove users. You leave with everything documented.
Anything we install is covered for two years. Hardware carries the manufacturer warranty (typically two to five years on HikVision and Dahua). If something fails inside that window we come back free.
Any CCTV camera that captures a space outside your own property is regulated under UK GDPR and the ICO's CCTV code of practice. Get it wrong and you can be fined — or have footage thrown out by police. Every commercial install (and any domestic system that overlooks the street, a neighbour or a public path) comes with full compliance paperwork as standard.

Yes, but Listed Building Consent from Buckinghamshire Council is almost always required for any external camera on a listed property around the Market Square, Castle Street, Church Street or West Street. We survey first, propose camera positions behind existing features, use colour-matched cabling and reversible fixings, and prepare and submit the consent drawings on your behalf. Typical approval lead time is six to eight weeks.
Most of the MK18 new-build estates have pre-installed conduit and Cat6 going to key external points — ideal for a wired 4K HikVision or Dahua system with a hidden NVR. We typically fit four 4K turret cameras (front door, driveway, rear corners covering the garden) plus a wired video doorbell, with wireless mesh out to garden offices or detached garages where the developer didn't pre-cable.
Yes — these are core MK18 villages we work in regularly. For properties without good broadband we use 4G cellular cameras with cloud recording, and for outbuildings, stables and gates that are out of cable reach we install solar-powered standalone cameras with SD-card storage.
Yes — agricultural and equestrian properties are a regular MK18 brief. We use 4G-backed cameras for stables and outbuildings, solar-powered gate cameras, ANPR for vehicle entries, and wireless mesh to bring distant cameras back to a central NVR in the house or office.
Domestic CCTV almost never needs planning permission across MK18 — it falls under permitted development as long as cameras are positioned to minimise capturing space beyond your boundary. The exceptions are listed buildings and the Buckingham town-centre conservation area, where external camera bodies on a front elevation typically need consent. Any camera that captures neighbouring property, footpath or street also brings UK GDPR / ICO obligations — we provide signage, written policy and SAR procedure as standard.
Yes — we routinely integrate Hikvision and Dahua NVRs with mainstream intruder alarm panels (Texecom, Pyronix, HKC, Honeywell, Risco) so an alarm trigger pushes the relevant camera feed to your phone or the alarm receiving centre. On commercial Buckingham sites we also link to access control and ANPR.
Yes. Bring us the existing kit and we'll diagnose, repair or replace whatever's failed. We work on every mainstream brand — HikVision, Dahua, Swann, Reolink, Annke, Ring, Eufy, UniFi, Honeywell and more. The £90 diagnostic fee is credited against any repair work you go ahead with.
A domestic 4-camera install on a Page Hill or Linden Village new-build is typically half a day to a full day. An 8-camera install or a commercial job on the A422 is usually one full day. Listed-building work around the Market Square or Castle Street takes longer because of careful internal cable routing and the consent lead time.
