Independent CCTV installation across Hatfield and AL9–AL10. 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 Hatfield and the surrounding AL9 and AL10 postcodes — Old Hatfield, New Hatfield (town centre), Birchwood, Ellenbrook, Roe Green, Oxlease and the Hatfield Garden Village fringe. Independent, locally engineered, by the engineer who'll be at your door.
We install 4K HikVision and Dahua systems across the listed historic core around Old Hatfield and Hatfield House; the post-war New Town housing across South Hatfield, Roe Green and Oxlease; the larger Edwardian and inter-war homes at Hatfield Garden Village; and the commercial premises along the A1(M) Hatfield Business Park.
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.
Hatfield is a town of two halves: a historic Old Hatfield around the Bishop's Palace and Hatfield House, and a post-war New Town wrapped around it on every side. Modern infill, a major business park and the University of Hertfordshire add another layer. Each one has a different CCTV brief.
Old Hatfield (AL9) is the medieval and Tudor core around Fore Street, the Bishop's Palace and Hatfield House — listed and conservation-controlled. New Hatfield (AL10) is the post-war town centre and the New Town housing across South Hatfield, Roe Green, Oxlease and Birchwood — straightforward modern installs. Hatfield Garden Village is Edwardian and Arts & Crafts.
The Old Hatfield conservation area covers Fore Street, the Bishop's Palace approach and the streets immediately around Hatfield House. A number of properties are Grade II listed. Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Listed Building Consent is routine on Fore Street — we handle the application drawings in-house.
AL10 sees a familiar new-town pattern of vehicle theft from driveways and parcel theft, with commercial-burglary concentrations around the Hatfield Business Park and the A1(M) trade-counter corridor. ANPR-equipped driveway cameras and evidential-quality commercial systems are our most common briefs.
AL9 Old Hatfield, Hatfield House estate, Brookmans Park, Welham Green, Bell Bar, Marshmoor. AL10 New Hatfield town centre, South Hatfield, Roe Green, Oxlease, Birchwood, Ellenbrook, Hatfield Garden Village. Same-day surveys whenever we can fit them in.
Every camera scenario below we cover across Hatfield 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 Tudor and Georgian frontages — discreet camera bodies, conservation-grade fixings, internal cable runs and Welwyn Hatfield Listed Building Consent applications handled in-house.
Edwardian and Arts & Crafts detached homes around Briars Lane and The Broadway — full perimeter 4K coverage with discreet camera positioning.
Post-war town-centre flats and retail — landlord and managed-block CCTV with role-based remote access for managing agents.
New Town post-war housing — driveway-facing 4K turret cameras, front-door coverage and integration with existing intruder alarms.
1950s–60s estate housing — wired 4K systems, video doorbells and side-return coverage.
Modern infill and new-build — wired 4K systems on pre-cabled new-builds, plus wireless mesh to garages and garden offices.
Village properties with larger gardens — perimeter wireless cameras, gate ANPR and Hikvision ColorVu for unlit lane-side homes.
Distribution warehouses, trade counters, professional offices and BAE site fringe — 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.
Realistic Hatfield 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 Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council is almost always required for any external camera on a listed property around Fore Street, the Bishop's Palace approach or the streets immediately surrounding Hatfield House. We survey first, propose positions behind existing architectural features, use colour-matched cabling and reversible fixings, and prepare and submit the consent drawings on your behalf.
Hatfield Garden Village's Edwardian and Arts & Crafts properties typically run a four- to six-camera 4K system with discreet camera positioning sympathetic to the original architecture — internal cable runs through picture-rail voids or roof space, colour-matched cabling on any external runs, ANPR-equipped driveway cameras and a wired video doorbell. Conservation considerations apply on several Briars Lane and The Broadway streets.
Yes — Hatfield Business Park, BAE site fringe and the A1(M) trade-counter corridor are core AL10 commercial work. Evidential-quality 4K systems, ANPR for vehicle gates, RAID-protected NVR storage, integration with intruder alarms and access control, and 24/7 monitored response with key-holder dispatch are all standard.
Yes — these AL9 villages are core local work. For properties without good broadband we use 4G cellular cameras with cloud recording, and for outbuildings and gates that are out of cable reach we install solar-powered standalone cameras with SD-card storage.
Outside the Old Hatfield conservation area and listed buildings, domestic CCTV falls under permitted development in Welwyn Hatfield — as long as cameras are positioned to minimise capturing space beyond your boundary. Inside the conservation area or on a listed property, 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 Hatfield 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 South Hatfield, Roe Green or Birchwood is typically half a day to a full day. An 8-camera install or a commercial job on the Business Park is usually one full day. Listed-building work in Old Hatfield takes longer because of careful internal cable routing and the consent lead time.
