Independent CCTV installation across Stevenage and SG1–SG2. 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 Stevenage and the SG1 and SG2 postcodes — Old Town, Bedwell, Pin Green, Chells, Shephall, Symonds Green, Great Ashby, Martins Wood, Manor and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Independent, locally engineered, by the engineer who'll be at your door.
We install 4K HikVision and Dahua systems across Old Town's listed Georgian and Victorian frontages along the High Street and Church Lane; the original New Town neighbourhood housing across Bedwell, Pin Green, Chells and Shephall; the modern Great Ashby, Martins Wood and Manor developments; and the commercial premises around Gunnels Wood, Pin Green Industrial Estate and the Roaring Meg 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.
Stevenage is Britain's first New Town — built around discrete neighbourhood units in the 1950s and 1960s — with an older market-town core to the north (Old Town) and substantial 1990s-onward expansion at Great Ashby and Manor. Each neighbourhood needs a different camera plan.
Old Town along the High Street and Church Lane is a pre-New-Town market core with listed Georgian and Victorian buildings and a conservation area. The New Town neighbourhoods south and east are 1950s–1970s Garchey-design housing with open-front layouts and parking courts. The camera plan changes substantially between them.
Stevenage's Old Town High Street Conservation Area and a number of listed buildings along the High Street and Church Lane mean Stevenage Borough Council Listed Building Consent is routine on those streets — we handle the drawings in-house, use colour-matched cabling and reversible fixings.
Stevenage sees a heavy keyless-entry car-theft pattern across the modern Great Ashby, Manor and Martins Wood estates, shed and outbuilding breaks across the older New Town neighbourhoods, and a commercial-burglary pattern around Gunnels Wood and Pin Green Industrial Estate. ANPR-equipped driveway cameras and 4K evidential commercial systems are the most common briefs.
Old Town, Bedwell, Pin Green, Chells, Shephall, Symonds Green, Great Ashby, Martins Wood, Manor, Broadwater and the SG1–SG2 commercial estates. Same-day surveys whenever we can fit them in.
Every camera scenario below we cover across Stevenage 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 and Victorian frontages — discreet camera bodies, conservation-grade fixings, internal cable runs and Stevenage Borough Council Listed Building Consent applications handled in-house.
Original 1950s New Town neighbourhood housing — 4-camera 4K kits, shed and outbuilding coverage, smart-home integration.
New Town and 1990s expansion mix — driveway ANPR turrets, wired video doorbells and rear-garden corner coverage.
1960s–1980s estate housing — front and rear coverage with internal cable runs and integration with existing alarms.
Modern detached and family-home estate — keyless-theft countermeasures, ANPR at the kerb, hidden NVRs and Faraday key pouches as standard.
New-build estates — wired 4K systems with smart-home integration and wireless mesh to garages and garden offices.
Mixed 1970s–2000s housing — 4-to-6-camera 4K systems, side-passage coverage and remote phone monitoring.
Industrial units, distribution warehouses and trade counters — evidential 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 Stevenage 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 Stevenage Borough Council is required for any external camera body on a listed property along the Old Town High Street, Church Lane or the Bowling Green. 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.
These estates see a recurring keyless-entry car-theft pattern. The typical brief is a 6-camera 4K system: driveway-facing turret with ANPR, 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.
Yes — Bedwell, Pin Green, Chells and Shephall's open-front Garchey-design housing needs careful camera positioning to cover the front parking court without infringing neighbours' privacy. We typically use narrow-field 4K turrets aimed at your own bay and door, a wired video doorbell and rear-garden coverage, with written GDPR signage as standard.
Yes — Gunnels Wood, Pin Green Industrial Estate, Roaring Meg and the surrounding SG1 commercial corridor 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.
Yes, with the freeholder's permission. We provide written installation specifications and method statements housing associations and Stevenage Borough Council will accept, fit cameras to the property only (not to communal walls without permission), and route cabling so it can be removed cleanly when you move.
Outside the Old Town Conservation Area and listed buildings, domestic CCTV falls under permitted development across Stevenage — 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 or footpath 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.
A 4-camera domestic install in Bedwell, Pin Green or Shephall is typically half a day to a full day. A 6-camera install on Great Ashby or Manor, or a commercial job on Gunnels Wood, is usually one full day. Listed-building work in Old Town takes longer because of careful internal cable routing and the consent lead time.
