The Round Up...
CCTV has been a common fixture in shops, pubs, car parks and other public places for years. Now, thanks to easier installation and falling prices, it’s becoming an increasingly popular choice for security-conscious homeowners.
High-street electronics specialist Maplin says that between 2007 and 2008, its sales of CCTV Home Security equipment jumped by 70% in some of the UK’s biggest urban areas.
House with home CCTV cameras
Home CCTV Systems are becoming increasingly popular....
When we surveyed 2,071 Which? online panel members in April 2009, just 2% said that their home had a CCTV system, while 9% told us that they were thinking about getting one. 82% of current or potential CCTV owners said that they use it or would use it to monitor the outside of their property, while 50% use it or would use it inside the house.
Home CCTV Security and privacy
If you’re thinking of getting a Home CCTV Systems for the outside of your property, you must comply with privacy laws. This means making sure that your cameras aren’t pointed at public space or other people’s houses or gardens.
It’s a good idea to discuss any CCTV plans with your neighbours first – some Which? members told us that they share a system with their neighbours, which might be one way to cut down on costs.
CCTV is just one line of defence against crime, and works best when combined with other measures, such as door and window locks, keeping trees and foliage cut back, security lights and a burglar alarm. None of the insurance companies we contacted for our home insurance report currently offers a discount to customers with Home CCTV Systems.
