Independent CCTV installation across Dunstable and the surrounding LU5–LU6 postcodes. No sub-contractors, no national call centre — the person who quotes the job is the person who installs it and the person you'll ring if anything ever needs sorting.
Aylesbury Aerials & Satellites covers Dunstable and the surrounding LU5 and LU6 postcodes — town centre, Downside, Dukeminster, Caddington, Houghton Regis, Kensworth and the Dunstable Downs fringe villages. Independent, locally engineered, by the engineer who'll be at your door.
We install 4K HikVision and Dahua systems across the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around West Street and High Street North; the post-war estates at Downside and Beecroft; the modern infill at Manshead and the Houghton Regis growth area; and the industrial premises along Boscombe Road, Brewers Hill Road and the A5.
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.
Dunstable wraps around an old crossroads market core (where the A5 meets the A505) with substantial post-war and 1960s housing, modern Houghton Regis expansion to the north, and a heavy industrial and distribution belt along Boscombe Road. The right camera plan changes between each.
Dunstable's historic core sits around the Priory Church and the Quadrant Shopping Centre. The town spreads out into post-war estates at Downside, Beecroft and Dukeminster (LU5), into Houghton Regis expansion (LU5 north), and out to the Chiltern-edge villages at Caddington, Kensworth and the Downs (LU6).
The Priory Church area and parts of the High Street South and Church Street form a conservation zone, and a number of Tudor and Georgian buildings are listed. Listed Building Consent through Central Bedfordshire Council is occasionally required for external camera bodies — we handle the application drawings in-house.
LU5 and LU6 see the South-Beds pattern of vehicle theft from driveways, plus a high commercial-burglary rate along the Boscombe Road / Brewers Hill industrial estates and the A5 trade-counter corridor. Driveway-facing 4K turret cameras with ANPR and evidential-quality commercial CCTV with monitored response are our most common briefs.
LU6 Dunstable town centre, Downside, Beecroft, Manshead, Half Moon Lane, the Dunstable Downs fringe, Whipsnade. LU5 Dukeminster, Houghton Regis, Tithe Farm, Parkside, Bidwell, Chalton, Toddington fringe. Same-day surveys whenever we can fit them in.
From a single driveway camera to a full commercial 4K system — this is the breadth of CCTV work we cover in Dunstable every week.
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.
Conservation-area frontages around the Priory Church and High Street South — discreet camera bodies, internal cable runs and Central Beds Listed Building Consent applications handled in-house.
Post-war and 1960s estates — driveway-facing 4K turret cameras, front-door coverage and integration with existing intruder alarms.
Modern and inter-war detached and semi-detached housing — wired 4K systems, video doorbells and rear-garden coverage.
Chiltern-edge village properties with paddocks and outbuildings — 4G-backed and solar-powered cameras and Hikvision ColorVu for unlit lane-side homes.
Established estate housing on the Houghton Regis side — first-time CCTV installs, video doorbells and side-return coverage.
Mixed older estate and new-build expansion — wired 4K systems on pre-cabled new-builds, plus retrofit installs on Tithe Farm semis.
Newer northern expansion and rural fringe — perimeter wireless cameras, gate-mounted ANPR and Hikvision ColorVu.
Industrial units, distribution warehouses and trade counters — evidential-quality 4K CCTV, ANPR at vehicle gates, RAID-protected NVR storage and 24/7 monitored response.
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.
Real Dunstable pricing for supply-and-install. Survey is free, the written quote is fixed, and you never pay a penny until the system is working and you're happy with it.
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.
The questions Dunstable homeowners and businesses ask us most often before they book. Something not covered? Call 01296 506085.
Yes, but Listed Building Consent or conservation-area approval from Central Bedfordshire Council is usually required for any external camera body on a listed property or in the Priory Church and High Street South conservation zone. We survey first, propose positions behind existing architectural features, use reversible fixings, and submit the consent application drawings on your behalf.
The newer LU5 estates around Tithe Farm and the northern expansion typically have pre-installed conduit and Cat6 — 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) plus a wired video doorbell, with wireless mesh out to garden offices or detached garages where the developer didn't pre-cable.
Yes — these LU6 villages along the Dunstable Downs are core local work. For properties without good broadband we use 4G cellular cameras with cloud recording, and for outbuildings, gates and stables that are out of cable reach we install solar-powered standalone cameras with SD-card storage.
Yes — Dunstable's industrial corridor along Boscombe Road, Brewers Hill Road and the A5 trade-counter strip is a regular part of our LU5/LU6 commercial work. Evidential-quality 4K systems, ANPR for vehicle gates, RAID-protected NVR storage and 24/7 monitored response are all standard options.
Outside the Priory conservation area and listed buildings, domestic CCTV falls under permitted development across Central Bedfordshire — as long as cameras are positioned to minimise capturing space beyond your boundary. Inside the conservation area or on a listed building, 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 Dunstable 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 in Downside, Beecroft or Manshead is typically half a day to a full day. An 8-camera install or a commercial job on Boscombe Road is usually one full day. Listed-building work around the Priory takes longer because of careful internal cable routing and the consent lead time.
