UNV builds one of the deepest CCTV catalogues on the market. These are the ranges we specify daily across London projects.

Full-Colour 24/7

Large-aperture sensors and warm supplemental light deliver full-colour footage day and night — ideal for driveways, shopfronts and entrances where identifying colour of clothing and vehicles matters.

Ultra Low-Light

LightHunter & LightHunter Prime

Starlight-class sensors that hold detailed colour images in near darkness without visible light — the go-to for car parks, yards and perimeter runs where discreet coverage is needed.

Active Deterrence

Detect, warn and deter: built-in strobes, sirens and two-way talk triggered by AI human/vehicle detection. Fitted heavily on warehouses, forecourts and building sites across London.

AI Recording

NVR501/504-series recorders with OwlView analytics — human and vehicle classification, line-crossing, intrusion zones and smart search that finds events in seconds, not hours.

Value Range

Uniarch

Uniview's budget-friendly line for rentals, small shops and cost-driven residential jobs — same EZView app ecosystem, sensible spec, keen pricing.

Hybrid Upgrades

XVR Hybrid Recorders

XVR301-series hybrid recorders re-use your existing coax cabling while adding 5MP analogue and IP channels — the fastest, cheapest way to modernise an old analogue system.

Answers, Straight Up

UNV CCTV — Frequently Asked Questions

Is UNV the same as Uniview?
Yes — UNV is simply the brand abbreviation of Uniview (Zhejiang Uniview Technologies), one of the world's top three video surveillance manufacturers. Uniarch is Uniview's value sub-brand. Same manufacturer, same EZView app ecosystem.
How much does a UNV CCTV system cost installed in London?
A professionally installed 4-camera UNV 4MP IP system for a typical London home starts from around £1,250 inc VAT (or from £1,050 as a hybrid upgrade re-using existing coax). An 8-camera 4K system with an AI NVR typically runs £2,400–£3,500. Commercial 16+ channel systems are quoted after a free survey.
Is UNV CCTV better than Hikvision?
They're genuinely close. UNV usually wins on 4K value and AI recording price; Hikvision's ColorVu remains the benchmark for colour night vision. We install both — the right answer depends on your site, lighting and budget, and we'll tell you straight.
Do you offer UNV supply-only for trade installers?
Yes. We supply the full UNV and Uniarch catalogue — cameras, NVRs, hybrid XVRs, PoE switches, junction boxes, HDDs and complete kits — at competitive trade pricing across London and the Home Counties, with bench pre-configuration available on request.
Can I view UNV cameras on my phone?
Yes — every system we hand over is set up on the free EZView app (iOS & Android) for live view, playback, push alerts and two-way audio. Businesses with multiple sites can run EZStation VMS on PC for centralised monitoring.
Can UNV work with my existing analogue cameras and cabling?
Usually, yes. UNV XVR301-series hybrid recorders accept 5MP analogue over your existing coax alongside new IP channels — often the most cost-effective way to modernise an old system without re-cabling the whole building.
Is UNV CCTV GDPR compliant for my business?
The hardware supports compliant operation — privacy masking, retention scheduling, audit logs and per-user access levels. Compliance comes from correct setup and signage. As an ICO-registered installer (ZB199222), we configure every commercial system with UK GDPR in mind and advise on signage and retention policy.
How long does installation take?
A 4-camera residential install is normally completed in one day; an 8-camera 4K system takes 1–2 days. Larger commercial projects are scheduled after survey — typically 2–5 days depending on cable runs.
What warranty do I get?
UNV hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty (typically 3 years on IP cameras and NVRs), and every SatFocus installation adds our own 12-month workmanship warranty. Annual maintenance contracts are available for businesses.
Do you install UNV ANPR cameras?
Yes — we design and install UNV ANPR (number plate recognition) for gated sites, car parks, forecourts and logistics yards, including barrier integration and whitelist/blacklist management.
