Quality

I'm not one for using Facebook to buy anything but as stated in a previous comment HomeCCTV kept cropping up and the information they shared and reviews led me to contact them to discuss our needs.

The surveyor came and advised us of what equipment we needed and gave us a quote, which was very reasonable. I then enquired about updating our alarm system. This was also very reasonable. He also advised that if we opted for both we would get a discounted deal, which was a bonus.

The equipment is extremely high quality and we were impressed with the standard of quality of the CCTV footage (both day and night). We opted for the night vision cameras - these cameras are permanently lit during darkness and the quality of the images are excellent. There is no need for an additional light in the rear garden as the camera’s light is bright enough.

The alarm can be set by a control fob supplied or via the app on a mobile device - I really liked the panic alarm included on the control panel, which alerts other users if this is activated and locations can be identified via google maps.

I haven’t experienced after sales yet but according to other reviews on other sites, this is second to none.

Overall I am extremely pleased with HomeCCTV and the quality of both products.

Hi Tracy,
Sincere thanks for leaving such an honest and thorough 5-Star review.
Facebook is a great promotional tool for us but some companies advertising on Facebook are not as trustworthy so reviews like yours are really helpful in giving potential customers the confidence to give us their business which we value and really appreciate so thanks again.

Amazing service and quality systems

Following extensive renovation to out home we were looking to replace our alarm system and make an addition of CCTV. I'm not generally one for paying attention to FB advertisements, but Homecctv kept cropping up and the information they shared and reviews led me to contact them to discuss our needs. Communication was very efficient and within a few days we were visited by Mike, the surveyor, who spent a couple of hours one evening talking through our needs.
He had an extensive knowledge of both the CCTV and alarm equipment, which he had with him on his visit, so he was able to give us a full demonstration. The equipment is extremely high quality and we were impressed with the standard of quality of the CCTV footage (both day and night).
There was absolutely no pressure or sales waffle to try and get us to commit to anything that evening, but we were given a reasonable quote for both systems which wasn't as expensive as I expected, so we decided to pay the deposit that evening and made arrangements for installation a couple of weeks later. We were given a modest discount for buying both systems together and were also only charged for 3 of the 4 cameras we decided to have installed. In addition to the standard package, we also added additional door sensors, a smoke/carbon monoxide detector and upgraded one of the PIR sensors to include a camera which would photograph any potential intruder.

Joel, the installer, arrived promptly this morning to install first the CCTV, and then the alarm. The whole installation process took about 4 hours and he worked non stop with no mess created at all. After installation he took the time to first, explain how to use the main CCTV control box, which is connected to the TV in the lounge. We didn't have a spare HDMI slot in the TV, so he provided us with a top of the range HDMI splitter to make viewing on the TV easier. Once he had demonstrated the control box, he then helped to install the apps on our smart devices, one for each system. The CCTV app is excellent and easy to negotiate, and sends an instant notification of any movement at the address as well as providing live feed and the ability to review stored footage which highlights when movement is detected so you don't have to sit searching through hours of footage if something has happened. You can also download the footage from the app to your phone, or on the control box to a memory stick via USB slot - handy if footage is needed by the police.
The app for the alarm also offers notifications of movement and alarm activation instantly. The alarm can be set by a control fob supplied or via the app - one of the things we also liked was the additional benefit of a panic alarm which can be used on the app anywhere away from home - so if the kids are out and activate the panic button we can see instantly on google maps where they are.

I cant recommend Homecctv enough, the whole process from first contact to installation has been very efficient. We are very happy with the service we have received and the quality of both systems is second to none.

Thank you, this gives us added peace of mind that our home is secure and the cameras a deterrent for any potential intruder.

System:
CCTV - 4 cameras, two front and rear
Alarm - two PIR sensors, (one with camera), 3 door sensors (which will sound alarm if door opened or someone is trying to bang through them), carbon monoxide/smoke sensor, movable internal alarm siren, external siren, 2 control fobs.

Honest…over my budget and non the wiser of CCTV

My knowledge of the cost of cctv is quite limited and contacted homecctv ltd as a novice in this field.
Kevin who visited me was an elegant, smartly dressed chap. I had a budget on mind and to my shock I was way off the mark to what I wanted to pay.
I just wish he could have shown me the product, give me information on what you do and really sell it me.
I know you base your reputation on here and it looks well with the 5 star reviews and to be honest I didn’t even look at the reviews before the visit. Business can go through rocky times so I do give the benefit of the doubt and not base everything on reviews.

Unfortunately I’m still at the same stage, looking for the right salesman to give me a run down on the product.
I’m hard working, very careful with the money I earn and spend but show me the product, make an effort giving me the information and we might have got somewhere.
To others on hear reading this, you will need over a £1000 to get started and probably a lot more to get a decent package
.
This is just an honest review of my experience and it’s a neutral review from myself. I’m sure the products you sell are brilliant and you are successful in what you do but I will keep looking, speak to different salesmen, and be 100 percent sure before I make a purchase.

Thank you for your time..

Top notch 👌

Great service. Fast and professional installation & more importantly fast & very helpful 24hr aftercare of product, app and anything else needed from professional knowledgable technicians. Highly recommend SuperLive plus. Rather than being left with the product they are always on hand to help and assist. 👌

Faultless & Professional

This is the 2nd property we've used Home CCTV for. This time 4 cameras and their alarm system. The initial visit to survey our property and select the systems to meet our needs was great. We were given all the information and recommendations and allowed to decide for ourselves what we wanted. A date for installation was booked in at the first visit too. The surveyor was thorough and took notes and make a video for the installer so there were no errors or queries on installation day. As a previous customer we knew what to expect and on installation day, again it was faultless. Phone ahead to ask directions intonour new build development which isn't yet on Google maps, arrived on time and completed a fantastic job on camera installation and also alarm. We would not hesitate recommending this company, they do what they say on the tin!

After sales is 5* we had a couple of queries which were answered and resolved immediately. - Thanks Home CCTV & your team!

Amazing company. High quality cameras

Amazing company. Had my cameras installed around a year ago. No problems whatsoever. I was having trouble with a group of lads. Had other cameras previously and despite cameras capturing the lads in action damaging my property the quality wasn’t good enough for the police to take action. Fast forward to HOME CCTV LTD installation and different story. Action taken and no further issues. The quality is amazing, even the police officers reviewing the footage commented on how clear the images were. Im looking at having an extra camera added at some point. Fully respectful of property and clean, tidy job completed.
I can now leave my home without the worry. The cameras also use an app which is fully explained to you and you can choose to have notifications pushed through to you.

Great service

Every aspect of the service was great, punctual and consumer friendly. Saw the company online, then met Mike who was sent to do the survey and who I must say is a great marketer. Jo who setup the CCTV was also very professional.

Had a 3 camera system fitted by Home CCTV 3yrs ago from the first initial enquiry to the actual fitting we found them to be polite and very knowledgeable. The system we chose is simple to use and easy to navigate wether that's on our tv or via the mobile phone app.
We recently had some building work done and had to reboot the system as the builders had to disconnect the system not been technically minded a quick call to there technical helpline where we spoke to a very polite and helpful assistant soon had our system up and running again.
I would not hesitate to recommend Home CCTV to anyone who were looking for a home security system

I'd give this company 10 stars if I could. No pushy sales, you get exactly what you want. (I purchased 4 replacement camera's and had a extra 1 fitted in my shed). Everything is explained upfront, no hidden extras, the price they quote is the price you pay. Communication is excellent throughout the process, they turn up on time and crack on with the job. Couldn't leave this review without hi-lighting their customer service/after care service as being nothing less than amazing. (Something I find very rare these days) this company really does offer you the full package. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 😁😁😁

Very disappointed originally we asked for 3 camera with discount £1200 but decided we only wanted one. Got no discount paid top wack £740 for a one bog standard camera. They took out our Facebook review. won’t use or recommend them they sell the sales pitch perfectly but it’s not as it seems I’m afraid. Look closely at the google reviews there are more negative posts. They were miffed because we changed our minds from 2 then 3 to having only one camera so they charged us top price for the one with no discounts nothing and finally yes we did have a payment plan on the 3 but your assistant or rep rang us asking for the remaining balance paying after only a few days after installation on the one camera fact

Well what a bizarre review Mark, and completely in contrast to all of our 5-star reviews but I suppose we have been in business long enough to meet all types of people.

However I would like to fact check you on what you are saying as even the prices you mentioned are incorrect.

First of all, you mention our perfect sales pitch, you failed however to mention you originally ordered just two cameras from said surveyor (not a salesman) but you then phoned our office afterwards to increase the order yourself! So if anything this shows our surveyor is not a salesman as he under-sold you on the day.
Furthermore you didn’t want to pay the correct additional value of what you increased the order by so persuaded us to add the additional work for a further discount.

We even agreed for you to pay over a few instalments to help your cash flow!?

So, if anything, it was you who put unfair pressure on us to meet your demands but we did so as we like to help our customers wherever possible.

On the day of installation when we arrived, you then insisted on reducing the order by two thirds, with no notice or explanation, so below the amount you had originally agreed when we first met you….

This meant our installer was underworked and overpaid for the day as we wouldn’t dock his wages but it was too short notice for us to book anything else in for him to do but again, we obliged, without dispute, because we like our customers to be happy.

So the reduced order and the new price was agreed and then the work went ahead.

Then AFTER the installation was completed you then decided to ask for further discount even though this was now already heavily discounted and agreed!

So you had agreed to the price before we installed the system but then seemed to want to negotiate again after the work was completed.

In our opinion, this was calculated and designed to give us no choice but in actual fact this order was now already at the lowest order value we offer so we explained there was nothing further we could reduce which is where i believe the review is now really coming from, however we still agreed a time for you to call the management team to discuss this further.

You didn’t contact the management team and since, paid the reminder of what you owed, so we assumed the matter to be closed.

You then however, have chosen to leave this bad review so we have since messaged you multiple times and called you on the number you provided to see how further we could help but to no response from yourself so now we have no choice but to reply here instead.

The whole situation makes no sense to us and we have never encountered anything like this before, but of course you are entitled to your opinion and if left unanswered, your review could potentially be harmful to our business, hence me sharing this more factual reply for anyone to read.

We have thousands of happy customers from our last 9 years of being in business with hundreds of 5 star reviews who would thankfully not agree with you.

So we won’t be replying anymore as we are too busy before Christmas trying to protect our customers over this festive time who really want and need our help…..

******************** Edited

Hi Mark,

As mentioned above, we are not going to keep replying, however we also will not be bullied into giving you a further discount just because you a threatening a bad review, this is not how we work i am afraid.

In the meantime we wish you a Merry Christmas & a happy New year.

Camera refit

These guys have never let me down I’ve recently moved and it was no trouble at all for them to fit me in, the guy today 30/11/24 whose name is Joel couldn’t have been more helpful & polite he kept me informed of arrival time when he arrived asked me were to put camara’s also best place for cables to go very neat job done plus he also hooverd his mess up. So anybody thinking of having camera’s installed these guys are very professional, helpful from on site survey to installation.
