Wired and wireless 4K CCTV for Hemel Hempstead homes and businesses across HP1–HP3. We survey the same week, quote in writing, install in a day, and back every job with a two-year guarantee — direct from the engineer doing the work.
Aylesbury Aerials & Satellites covers Hemel Hempstead and the wider HP1–HP3 postcodes — Old Town, Boxmoor, Adeyfield, Gadebridge, Bennetts End, Highfield, Warners End, Apsley, Nash Mills and the Maylands commercial corridor. Independent, locally engineered, by the engineer who'll be at your door.
We install 4K HikVision and Dahua systems across the listed High Street frontages in Old Town; the Victorian and Edwardian housing around Boxmoor and Apsley; the post-war New Town estates across Adeyfield, Bennetts End, Gadebridge and Highfield; and the major commercial estate at Maylands 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.
Hemel Hempstead is essentially three towns: an Old Town along the original High Street (listed and conservation-protected), a substantial post-war New Town wrapping every side of it, and a large modern commercial belt at Maylands. The CCTV brief on each is genuinely different.
Old Town (HP1, around the High Street and St Mary's Church) is listed and conservation-controlled. The New Town housing across Adeyfield, Bennetts End, Highfield, Warners End and Gadebridge (HP1–HP3) is post-war estate. Boxmoor and Apsley (HP1, HP3) are Victorian / Edwardian. Maylands (HP2) is the modern business park.
The Old Town conservation area covers the High Street, the area around St Mary's Church and parts of Marlowes north. Listed Building Consent through Dacorum Borough Council is routine on the High Street — we handle the application drawings in-house.
Hemel's HP1–HP3 sees the classic post-war new-town pattern — recurring vehicle theft from driveways and parcel theft on commuter streets across Adeyfield, Bennetts End and Highfield, plus a heavy commercial-burglary pattern around Maylands and the A4147 trade-counter corridor. ANPR-equipped driveway cameras and evidential-quality commercial systems are our most common briefs.
HP1 Old Town, Boxmoor, Warners End, Gadebridge, Highfield. HP2 Adeyfield, Maylands, Grovehill, Woodhall Farm, Bennetts End north. HP3 Bennetts End, Leverstock Green, Apsley, Nash Mills, Hemel Hempstead Industrial Area. Same-day surveys whenever we can fit them in.
Every CCTV problem we solve across Hemel Hempstead is on this list. If yours isn't, ring us — there's a strong chance we've fixed it on the next street.
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, internal cable runs and Dacorum Borough Listed Building Consent applications handled in-house.
Victorian and Edwardian semis around Boxmoor Common — front-elevation and rear-garden coverage with party-wall internal cable routes.
Post-war New Town estate housing — driveway-facing 4K turret cameras and full front-door coverage.
Mid-century estate housing and modern infill — wired 4K systems, video doorbells and side-return coverage.
Post-war and 1960s estate housing — wired 4K coverage and integration with smart-home apps.
Mixed post-war and inter-war housing — first-time CCTV installs, video doorbells and storm-damage repair to older systems.
Victorian terraces and waterside infill — front-elevation and rear-alley coverage and integration with existing intruder alarms.
Distribution warehouses, trade counters, professional offices and data centres — 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.
Honest Hemel Hempstead starting prices for supply-and-install. Your written quote is fixed after a free site survey, and if the job turns out simpler we charge less — never more.
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 Dacorum Borough Council is almost always required for any external camera body or cable run on a listed property along the Old Town High Street or around St Mary's Church. We survey first, propose positions behind existing features, use colour-matched cabling and reversible fixings, and prepare and submit the consent drawings on your behalf.
Yes — Maylands is the largest commercial estate in Hemel and a core part of our HP2 work. Distribution warehouses, trade counters, dental and clinical practices, data centres and corporate offices — evidential-quality 4K commercial 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 options.
HP1 and HP3 Victorian terraces typically have shared rear access, party walls and narrow frontages — we use compact bullet or mini-turret cameras in black or graphite, route cabling internally through party-wall voids or up into the loft, and avoid surface trunking on the front elevation. Lead-flashed mounts where required and ColorVu colour night vision for unlit rear alleys.
Standard New Town residential — wired 4K HikVision or Dahua systems with hidden NVRs, driveway-facing turret cameras, front-door coverage and a wired video doorbell. Most installs include ANPR plate capture on the driveway camera (Hemel's recurring vehicle-theft pattern) and integration with the existing intruder alarm.
Outside the Old Town conservation area and listed buildings, domestic CCTV falls under permitted development in Dacorum Borough — 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 Maylands 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 Adeyfield, Bennetts End or Highfield is typically half a day to a full day. An 8-camera install or a commercial job on Maylands Business Park is usually one full day. Listed-building work in the Old Town takes longer because of careful internal cable routing and the consent lead time.
