CCTV & Camera Systems

Image quality is on par — VIGI cameras use the same class of sensors and lenses. The difference is the company behind them: TP‑Link has UK technical support, easy RMA, longer hardware warranties (3 years), no Chinese government export‑control concerns, and a sensible mobile app that doesn't push you toward a monthly subscription.

Yes. Recording continues onto the local NVR — it's not dependent on the internet. Only remote viewing via the app needs broadband. If continuous remote access really matters (alarm‑monitored property, business critical) we can add a 4G failover to the NVR's network connection.

Yes — through the free TP‑Link VIGI app. Set it up once and you can check any camera live, get motion‑trigger notifications, and export clips. No monthly subscription, no cloud lock‑in, no upsells.

Very accurate. The VIGI cameras use onboard AI to tell the difference between a person, a vehicle, a pet and a parcel — vs the things that used to constantly false‑trigger old systems (leaves, shadows, rain, car headlights sweeping a wall). You also get granular notification rules: 'only alert me if a person enters this zone after 9pm', 'only if a vehicle stops on the driveway', 'only if someone lingers near the front door for more than 10 seconds'. Notifications come through whichever channels you want — push to phone, email, on‑screen on the NVR — and you can tune per camera.

Yes. We help with ICO registration where needed, set sensible retention periods (typically 30 days), mask out areas of public footpath from view, and supply the signage you're legally required to display. We don't do the legal paperwork but we set the system up technically to support compliance.

Every VIGI camera has IR night vision out of the box (black and white in the dark). The premium models add Smart‑IR (reduces lens flare on close objects) and Full‑Colour night mode using a small visible spotlight that triggers on motion. We'll recommend the right model per location.

Absolutely — that's actually one of our specialisms. VIGI is built to work cleanly alongside TP‑Link Omada networking, so we can put the cameras on their own VLAN, isolate them from your main LAN for security, and manage everything from one controller. Bundling CCTV with a network refresh usually works out cheaper than doing them separately.
