Thinking About Home CCTV? Ask These Questions First
Thinking of installing CCTV at home? This blog highlights three key questions to ask your installer — covering installation time, pricing, and warranty. Learn why professional installation offers better security, peace of mind, and long-term value.


There’s no better peace of mind than knowing your home is protected 24/7 hours. Whether you’ve experienced recent security concerns or simply want to stay one step ahead, installing a CCTV system is one of the most effective ways to protect your property, deter intruders, and monitor what matters most — your family, home, and valuable assets.
At UR Protection Security Services, we make CCTV simple. From supply-only kits to fully installed packages, our team ensures you get the right system, at the right price, installed the right way.
Essential Questions That Can Save Your Time and Money on CCTV Installation
So… you’ve decided you're ready to invest in CCTV. Great move. Whether it’s for your home, business, or holiday cabin, choosing the right system — and more importantly, the right installer — is key to ensuring your investment actually protects what it’s meant to.
Here are the three most important questions to ask when comparing CCTV providers:
1. How long will it take to install?
Time is valuable — and no one wants a team of installers causing chaos for days on end. The good news? Most CCTV systems can be installed in just one day, depending on the size of your property and the number of cameras required.
- For most standard residential properties, installation takes 4 to 8 hours.
- For larger homes or multi-camera setups, expect up to 1.5 days.
- Commercial sites or complex layouts may take longer, especially if accessibility is an issue.
With UR Protection, we give you a clear timeframe before the job starts, so you can plan around it with confidence.
2. What is the best price you can offer?
Let’s be real — everyone’s looking for value. And while the cheapest option isn’t always the best, you should be getting the best deal for your needs.
When choosing your CCTV provider:
- Ask about package deals and seasonal promotions.
- Clarify what’s included — are the cables, hard drives, and setup costs part of the quote?
- Don’t be afraid to ask for a better deal — we respect smart shoppers.
At UR Protection, we offer competitive pricing with no hidden fees, plus a Best Price Guarantee — so you’ll never overpay for protection.
3. Do you offer a guarantee or warranty?
You wouldn’t buy a car without a warranty — your CCTV system is no different.
We proudly offer:
- 12-Month Warranty on all systems
- System training after installation
- Ongoing support and advice
- Optional maintenance packages
We stand by our products and services, which means if something goes wrong, we’re here to make it right.
Why You Shouldn’t DIY Your Home CCTV Installation
We get it — YouTube makes it look easy. But DIY CCTV can go wrong fast:
- Incorrect camera angles leave blind spots.
- Poor cable management becomes a hazard.
- Unsecure network setups can leave you vulnerable to hacking.
Leave it to our licensed and experienced installers. We'll ensure your system is positioned for maximum coverage, fully operational, and set up with secure remote access — all with minimal disruption to your day.
