CCTV Installation Yorkshire

CCTV gives homes and businesses in Yorkshire visible deterrence, evidence if an incident happens, and remote peace of mind through live mobile viewing. Optima Electrical installs HD CCTV systems across the region, sized to your property and wired neatly. The electrical install is carried out by NICEIC certified electricians, supported by one local Yorkshire team.

Home CCTV Installation

Protect your home and family with a CCTV system designed for your property. We install visible cameras that act as a deterrent, covering driveways, front and back doors, gardens and outbuildings.

All our systems connect to a mobile app so you can check live footage or review recordings from anywhere. Night vision, motion alerts and weatherproofing come as standard.

We survey your property, recommend the right camera positions, and install cables out of sight wherever possible.

Commercial CCTV Installation

Protect your business premises, staff and stock with a CCTV system sized for your site. We work with offices, retail units, warehouses, industrial premises and multi-site operators across Yorkshire.

Our commercial systems include IP cameras for high-resolution coverage and secure remote access for managers. For commercial sites, GDPR and data protection rules apply to any footage of identifiable people. We will talk you through what that means in practice so you know what signage, retention and access controls to put in place.

From a single camera covering a shop entrance to multi-camera networks spanning industrial sites, we design and install to your specification.

Our CCTV Process

Every install starts with a free site survey. We assess coverage requirements, lighting conditions, cable routes, and your recording and storage needs.

After the survey we send a clear proposal showing camera positions, equipment specifications and total cost. Once approved, most domestic installs take a day. Commercial installs vary by scale.

On completion we commission the system, set up your app access, and hand over user documentation. The electrical install is carried out by NICEIC certified electricians.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for CCTV in Yorkshire?

Most domestic CCTV installations do not need planning permission, as long as cameras are sited on your own property and do not overlook neighbouring properties excessively. Listed buildings and conservation areas may require permission. Commercial CCTV rarely needs planning permission but must follow GDPR and data protection rules for any footage capturing public areas.

Commercial CCTV systems must comply with GDPR if they capture footage of identifiable individuals, which almost all do. Requirements include clear signage, a lawful basis for recording, controlled access to footage, and defined retention periods. We can talk you through signage, settings and retention at install, but responsibility for ongoing GDPR compliance sits with you as the site owner.
Yes. Every system we install comes with a mobile app for live viewing and playback. You can check cameras from anywhere with an internet connection, receive motion alerts, and download clips if needed. We set up the app and show you how to use it at handover.
Wired systems are more reliable for permanent installations, give better video quality, and do not depend on your Wi-Fi. Wireless can work for simple setups or listed properties where cable runs are difficult. For most Yorkshire homes and all commercial sites we recommend wired, and we route cables discreetly during install.
Most domestic installs take a day, including survey sign-off, fitting cameras and recorder, and commissioning the app. Commercial installs vary from a day for a small office to several days for a multi-camera industrial site. We confirm timing at the site survey.
