Complete CCTV Solutions for Every Environment
Security & Electrical Group Ltd designs, installs, and maintains CCTV systems for businesses, landlords, and property managers across England. We work with industry-leading camera manufacturers and recording platforms to deliver surveillance solutions matched to your site's specific requirements — whether that's a small retail premises needing a few cameras with local recording, or a multi-site commercial operation requiring enterprise-grade video management with remote access.
We offer two distinct approaches to CCTV. For sites requiring high-performance IP cameras with advanced analytics, we install Axis cameras managed through Milestone XProtect video management software — an enterprise-grade, open-platform VMS trusted by critical infrastructure and large commercial environments worldwide. For cost-effective installations where a proven all-in-one solution is the right fit, we install Dahua camera systems with integrated NVR recording — delivering reliable HD and 4K surveillance at a competitive price point.
Every project starts with a free site survey where our engineers assess your premises, identify optimal camera positions for maximum coverage, and recommend the right system. We handle the full installation including cameras, cabling, recording equipment, network configuration, and remote viewing setup — and offer maintenance contracts to keep your system performing reliably long-term.

Milestone XProtect Smart Client
Milestone's Smart Client gives operators a unified view of all cameras, site maps, and alarm events from one interface. Interactive floor plans show camera positions and coverage zones, live feeds can be arranged in custom layouts, and recorded footage is searchable by time, event, or analytics trigger.
The Smart Client runs on desktop, while XProtect Mobile extends full live and playback access to smartphones and tablets. For multi-site operations, operators can switch between locations or view cameras across all sites simultaneously — ideal for facilities managers overseeing multiple commercial properties.
Purpose-Built Recording Infrastructure
For Milestone VMS deployments, we specify purpose-built recording servers from BCD Video and Secure Logiq — designed specifically for video surveillance workloads.

CCTV Installation FAQs
A Dahua NVR is an all-in-one recorder that works with Dahua cameras out of the box — simple, reliable, and cost-effective for most installations. Milestone XProtect is an open-platform video management system that supports cameras from multiple manufacturers, offers advanced analytics and search, scales to thousands of cameras, and integrates with third-party systems. We recommend Milestone for complex, multi-site, or high-security environments, and Dahua NVR for straightforward commercial and residential installations.
Yes. Both systems support remote viewing. Dahua systems use the DMSS app for iOS and Android, providing live viewing and playback from anywhere. Milestone systems use the XProtect Mobile client or web browser access. We configure remote viewing as part of every installation and ensure it's working before handover.
Camera count depends on your premises layout, the areas you need to cover, and whether you need identification-quality footage or general overview. Our free site survey includes a camera position plan showing exactly where we recommend placing cameras and what each one will cover — so you can see the proposed coverage before committing.
Retention period depends on the number of cameras, recording resolution, and hard drive capacity. We typically design systems for 30 days of continuous recording as standard, but can configure longer retention where required for compliance or operational reasons. We specify the right storage capacity during system design.
Yes. Our CCTV maintenance contracts cover camera cleaning and alignment checks, firmware updates, recording health verification, hard drive condition monitoring, and cable and connector inspection. Planned maintenance prevents gradual degradation in image quality and recording reliability that often goes unnoticed until footage is needed.
