CCTV Installation in Wigan & the North West

Full HD security camera systems with night vision, motion alerts and remote smartphone viewing — installed and configured for homes and businesses across the North West.

Professional CCTV Systems for Homes & Businesses

A well-placed CCTV system is one of the most effective deterrents against crime. Visible cameras tell opportunist burglars and vandals that your property is monitored — and if anything does happen, you have high-quality footage to provide to the police. MPW Electrical Security design and install CCTV systems tailored to your property, whether you need two cameras covering a home driveway or a multi-camera commercial system with round-the-clock recording.

We work with HD and 4K resolution cameras from trusted manufacturers, covering all angles with infrared night vision effective up to 30 metres in complete darkness. All systems are connected to an NVR (Network Video Recorder) or DVR, providing local storage with options for cloud backup. Motion detection alerts mean you'll receive a notification on your smartphone the moment activity is detected — and with our remote viewing setup, you can check live and recorded footage from anywhere in the world via a simple app. We install systems for both residential properties and commercial premises, including retail units, warehouses, schools, car parks and construction sites.

After installation, we don't just hand over a recorder and leave. We configure your system fully, set up remote viewing on your phone or tablet, and walk you through how everything works before we leave site. If you have any questions after installation, we're always at the end of the phone. For businesses with more advanced requirements, we can also advise on remote monitoring contracts through our approved monitoring centre partners.

CCTV Systems for Every Property Type

From simple home camera setups to multi-site commercial surveillance networks, we have the expertise to design and install the right system for you.

Residential CCTV

Home CCTV systems are designed to be discreet, effective and easy to use. We typically position cameras to cover the front door, driveway, rear garden and any side access points. Cameras are mounted to blend with your property's exterior, and the recorder is tucked away in a cupboard or loft. We configure everything on your phone before we leave — you'll be able to check your home from wherever you are in the world. Systems typically include 2–8 cameras with a local hard drive recorder providing 2–4 weeks of continuous recording.

Commercial CCTV

Business CCTV demands more — more cameras, more storage, higher resolution and often the ability to integrate with existing access control and alarm systems. We design commercial systems for retail, industrial, hospitality, education and healthcare premises. NVR systems with larger hard drives provide extended storage, and we can configure user permissions so staff only see footage relevant to their area. For businesses requiring 24/7 monitoring with a response service, we can connect your system to a professional monitoring centre.

PTZ & Specialist Cameras

Pan-tilt-zoom cameras allow you to remotely control the direction and zoom of a single camera to cover a large area — ideal for car parks, yards or large commercial sites. We also install specialist options including long-range cameras with optical zoom lenses for monitoring distant entry points, covert cameras for sensitive areas, and licence plate recognition (ANPR) cameras for entrances and car parks. Whatever your specific surveillance requirement, we'll find the right camera technology to meet it.

CCTV Installation — Frequently Asked Questions

The number of cameras depends on your property layout and what you want to cover. For a typical semi-detached or detached home, 4 cameras is a common starting point — one covering the front driveway, one on the rear garden, and one on each side access. For larger properties or commercial premises, we'd recommend a site survey to map the best camera positions and identify any blind spots. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, which is why we always start with a free visit to your property.

Yes — all CCTV systems we install support remote viewing via a smartphone app, allowing you to watch live footage or review recordings from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. We configure the remote access and set it up on your phone as part of every installation, and we walk you through how to use it before we leave. You'll also receive push notification alerts to your phone whenever motion is detected.

Storage duration depends on the size of the hard drive in your recorder and the number of cameras in the system. A standard 4-camera home system with a 1TB hard drive typically stores 2–4 weeks of continuous footage before it begins overwriting. We can fit larger hard drives for longer retention — this is common in commercial installs where 30 days or more of recording may be a legal or insurance requirement. We'll specify the right storage capacity for your needs as part of your quote.

Absolutely. A significant portion of our work is commercial CCTV installation. We install systems for retailers, warehouses, industrial units, licensed premises, car dealerships, schools and more across the North West. Commercial systems typically involve more cameras, higher-capacity storage, and more complex network configuration — all of which we handle as standard. We can also advise on GDPR compliance for business CCTV systems, including signage requirements and data retention policies.
