Local CCTV — done properly

The Marlow CCTV firm that turns up, calls back and finishes properly.

Aylesbury Aerials & Satellites covers Marlow and the SL7 postcode — the High Street and West Street conservation areas, Marlow Bottom, Little Marlow, Bourne End fringe, Frieth, Hambleden Valley and out to Medmenham. Independent, locally engineered, by the engineer who'll be at your door.

We install 4K HikVision and Dahua systems across the listed Georgian and Regency frontages of High Street, West Street and St Peter Street; the Edwardian and Victorian villas along Oxford Road, Glade Road and Beaumont Rise; the modern Marlow Bottom and Riley Road developments; the Thames-front waterside properties; and the commercial premises along Globe Park and Marlow Industrial Estate.

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.

Local CCTV knowledge

What fifteen years of CCTV work across Marlow has taught us.

Marlow is a tightly-protected Thames-side market town with a substantial listed core, a Conservation Area covering most of the centre, high-value residential streets and a busy commercial estate at Globe Park. Each part of SL7 needs a different camera plan.

Conservation Area & listed

Marlow's Conservation Area covers the High Street, West Street, St Peter Street, Spittal Street and Quoiting Square. A high proportion of these frontages are listed. Buckinghamshire Council Listed Building Consent and conservation-area approval are routine — we prepare and submit drawings in-house, use colour-matched cabling and reversible fixings.

Thames-front properties

Riverside properties along Quarry Wood Road, Bisham Road and the Thames Path back onto open water and tow-path footfall. Camera plans here need to cover the river-facing elevation, the boathouse or moorings, and gate access — typically with IP-rated 4K turrets and a clear UK GDPR signage plan because the tow-path is public.

SL7 crime patterns

SL7 sees the South-Bucks high-value-target pattern — keyless car theft on the modern Marlow Bottom and Riley Road developments, distraction and tool theft from tradesperson vans, and a commercial-burglary pattern at Globe Park. ANPR-equipped driveway cameras, gate ANPR and evidential 4K commercial systems are our most common briefs.

SL7 coverage

Marlow town, High Street, West Street, Oxford Road, Glade Road. Marlow Bottom, Riley Road, Munday Dean. Little Marlow, Frieth, Hambleden, Medmenham. Globe Park and Marlow Industrial Estate. Same-day surveys whenever we can fit them in.

CCTV scenarios we cover

From a single driveway camera to a full commercial 4K system.

From a single driveway camera to a full commercial 4K system — this is the breadth of CCTV work we cover in Marlow every week.

Home CCTV

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.

Commercial CCTV

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.

CCTV repair & fault finding

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.

Old analogue → HD/4K upgrades

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.

Wireless, solar & 4G CCTV

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.

Video doorbells & access control

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.

Site & build-phase CCTV

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.

CCTV maintenance & health checks

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.

The kit we install

Trusted brands. No own-label mystery cameras.

Dahua

Workhorse commercial range — Starlight low-light cameras, WizSense AI analytics and rugged dome cameras for warehouses, retail and industrial units.

Ubiquiti UniFi Protect

For tech-savvy homeowners and businesses already running UniFi networking — clean app, no monthly fees and stunning low-light performance.

How a Marlow install works

From first call to fully-set-up. Usually inside a week.

1. Free phone consultation

Tell 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.

2. On-site survey (free for most jobs)

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.

3. Installation by a local engineer

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.

4. Walkthrough & handover

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.

5. Two-year workmanship guarantee

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.

UK GDPR & ICO compliance

CCTV the law is actually happy with.

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.

  • ICO registration if cameras cover any space outside your own boundary (we'll walk you through it).
  • Compliant signage at every entry point letting people know they're being recorded.
  • A written CCTV policy you can hand to staff, tenants or the ICO if asked.
  • Subject access request (SAR) procedure so you can respond if someone asks for footage of themselves.
  • Retention period set correctly — usually 30 days residential, 30–90 days commercial — with auto-overwrite.
  • Privacy masking on any camera that could overlook a neighbour's window, garden or path.

Marlow CCTV FAQs

Asked locally. Answered honestly.

The questions Marlow homeowners and businesses ask us most often before they book. Something not covered? Call 01296 506085.

Can I install CCTV on a listed building on Marlow High Street?+

Yes, but Listed Building Consent from Buckinghamshire Council is usually required for any external camera body on a listed property along High Street, West Street, St Peter Street or Spittal Street. We survey first, propose camera positions behind existing architectural features, use colour-matched cabling and reversible fixings, and prepare and submit the consent application drawings on your behalf at no extra charge.

What CCTV setup works best on a Marlow Bottom modern detached?+

Marlow Bottom sees a recurring keyless-entry car-theft pattern. The typical brief is a 6- to 8-camera 4K system: gate-mounted ANPR or driveway-facing ANPR turret, a wired video doorbell with parcel alerts, rear-garden corner cameras and a side-passage camera. The NVR sits hidden and we supply Faraday key pouches as standard.

Can you install CCTV on a Thames-front property?+

Yes — Quarry Wood Road, Bisham Road and the Thames Path properties are core local work. We use IP67-rated 4K turrets on river-facing elevations, cover the boathouse, moorings and any gate access, and provide a written UK GDPR signage plan because the Thames Path is a public right of way.

Do you cover the rural SL7 villages — Frieth, Hambleden, Medmenham?+

Yes — these SL7 villages are core local work. Properties with limited broadband run 4G cellular cameras with cloud recording, and outbuildings, paddock gates or stables out of cable reach get solar-powered standalone cameras with SD-card storage.

Do you install commercial CCTV at Globe Park?+

Yes — Globe Park and Marlow Industrial Estate are core 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 options.

Do I need planning permission for CCTV at my Marlow home?+

Outside the Conservation Area and listed buildings, domestic CCTV falls under permitted development across Buckinghamshire — 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 capturing neighbouring property, footpath or street also brings UK GDPR / ICO obligations — we provide signage, written policy and SAR procedure as standard.

Can you connect CCTV to my existing alarm system?+

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.

How long does a Marlow CCTV install take?+

A 4-camera domestic install in Marlow Bottom, Glade Road or Riley Road is typically half a day to a full day. A 6-to-8-camera install on a Thames-front property, or a commercial job at Globe Park, is usually one full day. Listed-building work on the High Street takes longer because of careful internal cable routing and the consent lead time.
