CCTV Installation in Brighton & Hove

CCTV installation in Brighton and Hove, from Regency squares to the Downs

Brighton and Hove packs a great deal into a narrow strip between the South Downs and the sea. Listed Regency terraces face the seafront, Victorian streets climb the hills behind them, shared student houses line the Lewes Road, and warehouses and trade counters sit out at Hollingbury and Portslade. If you are looking for CCTV installation in Brighton, the right design depends on which of those your property belongs to.

Regency Security has installed CCTV, door entry, access control and electric gates across Sussex since 1999. Every job starts with a free survey, and you get a written, itemised quote for the equipment your building needs and nothing more.

Listed terraces, conversions and basement flats

Large parts of the city are listed or sit in conservation areas, including Brunswick Town and Adelaide Crescent in Hove, Regency Square, and the grand squares of Kemp Town. Most of these houses were divided into flats long ago, so one building might have a basement flat reached by steps down to a lightwell, a shared front door and several floors of residents above.

That shapes the job. We use compact cameras in colours that suit the render, route cables through existing voids and behind mouldings, and make sure the lightwell steps are covered, as they are often the most hidden way in. If listed building consent or the freeholder's agreement is likely to be needed, we tell you at the survey. Where every flat still has an old audio handset, we replace it with door entry in Brighton from Videx, Commtel or Entrotec, so each resident can see the caller before buzzing them in.

Student houses and HMOs off the Lewes Road

With the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton both in the city, Moulsecoomb, Bevendean, Coldean and Hanover have a high share of shared houses. Tenants change every summer and keys rarely all come back, so landlords and letting agents usually ask us for:

• Keypad or Paxton fob entry, so you can issue and withdraw access as tenants come and go
• Video entry, so tenants can see who is at the door without opening it
• Cameras on the front door, side return and bin store only, leaving tenants' rooms and living space private
• Remote management, so access can be updated without a trip to the property

The same set-up works well for access control in Brighton offices, shared workspaces and holiday lets.

CCTV installers for Brighton's seafront, shops and trading estates

Bars in the seafront arches, independent shops in the North Laine and The Lanes, and hotels around Regency Square and Kemp Town all handle heavy footfall on summer weekends and late into the night. Typical commercial work includes:

• 4K cameras that capture clear faces at the door and the till
• Weatherproof housings and corrosion-resistant fixings on frontages exposed to sea spray
• Recording set up around the CCTV conditions on your premises licence, where it has them
• PTZ and ANPR cameras for yards and vehicle gates at units in Hollingbury and Portslade
• CCTV signage and advice on how long to keep footage

Gated homes on the northern edge of the city

Away from the dense centre, detached houses along Dyke Road Avenue and in Tongdean, Withdean and Patcham often have room for a proper gated entrance. We fit electric gates in Brighton and Hove using FAAC, CAME and BFT motors, add an intercom at the gate and connect it to your phone, so you can open up for a delivery wherever you are. As Gatesafe registered installer #2187, we safety test every gate before we hand it over.
