Security & access
Smart home security systems in Hampstead and North London
Most homes end up with security in pieces — a doorbell from one brand, an alarm from another, cameras nobody checks. Integrated properly, it becomes one thing you can see and trust from your phone.
- Cameras sited to be useful
- Video intercom at the gate
- Local recording, no monthly fee
North & North West London
Fewer devices, better placed
Camera placement matters more than resolution. We site cameras to cover approaches, side returns and garden access at heights that record faces rather than the top of a hat, and we record locally so footage is not tied to a subscription.
Video intercom at the front door or gate lets you see and speak to callers from inside or from your phone, and release a gate or door for a delivery. Where there is a coach house, basement flat or studio, we can bring those onto the same panel.
Security then joins the rest of the house. Away mode can vary lighting, close blinds and arm the system on one press, and a triggered camera can turn on outside lights instead of just sending a silent notification.
What the job includes
What a security project covers
Site walk
We look at approaches, boundaries, gates and blind spots before choosing any hardware.
Camera and lighting plan
Positions, fields of view and night performance planned alongside outside lighting.
Video intercom
Door or gate panel with app answering and door release for deliveries.
Local recording
Recorder in the rack with sensible retention, no compulsory cloud subscription.
Access control
Fobs, codes or app entry for family, cleaners and trades, with access you can withdraw.
Integration
Away modes linking alarm, lighting and shading so an empty house does not look empty.

Questions we get asked
Smart home security — the details
Is there a monthly fee?
Not for the recording we install — footage is stored locally. Optional cloud backup is available if you want it.
Can we see the cameras when abroad?
Yes, securely from the app, provided the broadband stays up.
Does this replace a monitored alarm?
It can work alongside one. We are happy to integrate with an existing alarm rather than rip it out.
Will cameras upset the neighbours?
We aim them at your property and approaches, which is both good practice and the right side of the rules on recording.
Can we let a cleaner in remotely?
Yes — a code, fob or app entry with access you can grant and remove without changing locks.
