What we install in Stanmore
One installer for the whole house
On a bigger Stanmore property the pieces have to work together: the camera at the gate, the intercom that lets a delivery in, the alarm that covers the garage. We design them as one system, on one app, so you are not juggling four.
CCTV cameras
4K cameras with full-colour night recording, person and vehicle detection, and 30+ days of footage kept at home — no subscription.
CCTV installation →Gate & door intercoms
IP video door entry at the gate or front door. See and talk to visitors from a screen indoors or your phone, wherever you are.
Ask about intercoms →Alarm upgrades & takeovers
Old panel, lost engineer code, or a system the previous owner left behind? We keep the sound wiring and sensors and replace the brains.

Designed for the house in front of us
How we approach Stanmore homes
Stanmore runs from 1930s streets around Canons Park and Belmont to some of the largest private houses in North West London on Stanmore Hill and around the common. The bigger the plot, the more ground there is to cover, and the more it matters that the system is designed rather than bought as a kit.
Stanmore Hill, Great Stanmore, around the common
Gated drives, double garages, pool houses and gardens backing onto woodland. The approach to the house is as important as the house itself.
- Cameras placed to identify faces and number plates at the gate, not just show the drive.
- Detectors in the garage and outbuildings on the same system, with a range extender or an external-grade duct run.
- Extra keypads where the family actually comes in, often through the garage or the kitchen.
Canons Park, Belmont, Little Stanmore
Front door, side access to the garden and, very often, a single-storey rear extension with a flat roof.
- Door contacts on every external door, motion detectors in the ground-floor rooms.
- First-floor rooms reachable from the extension roof covered as well.
- Four cameras usually does it: two at the front, one down the side, one over the garden.
Cable already in, alarm never fitted
Plenty of newer Stanmore homes were cabled for an alarm during the build but left without one. We install and commission onto the existing cabling as a second fix: no new cable runs, no mess, and a fraction of the cost of starting again.
Know who's at the gate before you open it
A video intercom at the gate lets you see and speak to visitors from inside the house or from your phone when you are away. It sits on the same network as your cameras, so the footage from the gate camera and the intercom tells one story.
Conservation areas and listed buildings: parts of Stanmore, including around Stanmore Hill and the Canons Park estate, are conservation areas. We keep external equipment discreet and will tell you at the survey if anything is worth checking with Harrow Council first.

FAQs
Security in Stanmore: your questions answered
How much does a burglar alarm cost in Stanmore?
It depends on the house. Replacing an old panel and keeping your existing wired sensors starts from £495 + VAT. A new system is priced from a free survey, because a Canons Park semi needs far fewer devices than a detached house on Stanmore Hill with a double garage and a pool house. You get a fixed written quote before any work is booked.
How much does CCTV cost in Stanmore?
Guide prices, installed and including VAT: two cameras from £695, four cameras from £1,095 and eight cameras from £1,895. Larger Stanmore plots with a long drive, gates and outbuildings usually sit in the eight-camera range. Anything that adds cost, such as a long run to the gate or scaffolding, is flagged at the survey.
My new-build already has alarm cable in. Can you use it?
Yes. Many newer homes are cabled for an alarm during the build but never have one fitted. We install and commission the system onto the existing cabling as a second fix, which is quicker and cheaper than starting from scratch.
Can you fit a video intercom at the gate?
Yes. For houses with gates or a long drive we fit IP video door entry, so you can see and speak to visitors at the gate from a screen indoors or from your phone. It can sit on the same network as your cameras.
Can you fit an alarm without damaging decoration?
Yes. In a finished, occupied home we normally install a wireless system such as Ajax, so there is no chasing and no redecorating. Wired systems are recommended when you are renovating and the walls are open, and are installed as separate first and second fix visits.
Do I need permission for CCTV or an alarm box in a Stanmore conservation area?
Parts of Stanmore, including around Stanmore Hill and the Canons Park estate, are conservation areas. Cameras and alarm bell boxes on a house do not normally need planning permission, but a listed building needs listed building consent before anything is fixed to it, and in a conservation area it is sensible to check with Harrow Council first. We keep equipment discreet and can advise at the survey.
Which parts of Stanmore do you cover?
All of HA7: Stanmore village and the Broadway, Stanmore Hill, Great and Little Stanmore, Canons Park, Belmont and Bentley Priory, plus neighbouring Queensbury and Edgware. We are based in Harrow, about fifteen minutes away.
What guarantee do I get?
A 12-month guarantee on our installation work, alongside the manufacturer's warranty on the equipment we supply.
