Ask about CCTV installation
Drakos Systems installs CCTV for offices, farms, construction sites and commercial buildings across Northern Ireland. Site surveys, secure NVR setup and remote viewing.
We install CCTV across all of Northern Ireland: offices, retail, warehouses, construction sites, farms, car parks, hospitality venues, rural properties, and commercial premises. Every installation includes a site survey, proper cable runs, network isolation, and remote viewing configured on your phone before we leave.
For Belfast-specific information, see our Belfast CCTV installation page. For farm and rural properties, see our farm security cameras guide. For construction sites, see our construction site CCTV guide.
What Makes Our Installations Different
Network isolation as standard
Your cameras go on a dedicated VLAN, separated from your business network by firewall rules. If a camera firmware vulnerability is exploited (and they are, regularly), the attacker cannot reach your staff computers, accounts system, or customer data. Most CCTV installers skip this step. We do not.
Evidence-quality footage
Cameras are positioned at the right height (2.5-3 metres for facial identification), with the right resolution (4MP minimum for evidential purposes), and proper IR coverage for night-time. Footage that shows the top of someone's head is not evidence. We design for identification, not just coverage.
Remote viewing that works
Every system includes remote access via a mobile app, configured and tested on your phone before we leave site. Live viewing, playback, motion alerts, and clip export all working from day one. Secure access through encrypted connections, not port forwarding on a default-password NVR.
Proper NVR placement
The recorder goes in a locked location with ventilation and UPS battery backup. Not under the till. Not on a shelf behind the bar. If an intruder grabs the recorder, all your evidence goes with them. We plan placement that protects the footage.

Types of CCTV Installation Across Northern Ireland
Business premises
Offices, retail, hospitality, clinics. Typically 4-8 cameras covering entrances, exits, tills, stock areas, and car parks. Wired PoE installation with Cat6 cable runs back to a central NVR. Guest-facing areas require GDPR signage which we advise on.
Construction sites
Temporary 4G-connected towers for sites without broadband or permanent power. Rapid deployment, repositionable as the build progresses, solar options where mains is not available. Read our full guide: construction site CCTV Northern Ireland.
Car parks and yards
External cameras with extended IR range (50-80m), number plate capture at entrances, vandal-resistant housings, and heavy-duty mounting for exposed positions. These take more punishment from weather and require IP67-rated equipment as minimum.
Multi-site businesses
Multiple locations managed from one platform. View any site from anywhere. Consistent equipment, consistent configuration, consistent support across all locations.
The Installation Process
- Site survey - I visit, walk the premises, identify coverage areas, check cable routes, assess lighting, and discuss your requirements. No obligation.
- Quote - fixed price covering cameras, NVR, cabling, installation, and configuration. No hidden extras.
- Installation - cable runs, camera mounting, NVR placement, network configuration. Typically one day for 4-8 cameras.
- Configuration - cameras configured for optimal image quality, motion zones set, alerts configured, remote viewing set up on your phone and tested.
- Handover - I show you how to use the app, play back footage, export clips, and what the motion alerts look like. Documentation provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CCTV installation cost in Northern Ireland?
The cost depends on the number of cameras, the recorder, cable runs and the site itself. Farm and construction site systems that need 4G connectivity cost more because of the extra equipment. We provide a written quote after a site survey, with no obligation.
Can I view my cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. All our IP camera systems include remote viewing via manufacturer apps on iOS and Android. We configure this during installation and train you to use it. For sites without fixed broadband, we use 4G routers to enable remote access.
Do you install CCTV on farms and construction sites?
Yes. We install 4G-connected camera systems on rural farms and temporary construction sites across Northern Ireland. These systems do not require fixed broadband and can be relocated when site work finishes.
How long does it take to install a CCTV system?
Most business CCTV installations take one to two days depending on the number of cameras and complexity of the cabling. Farm installations may take longer due to distance between buildings. We agree a timeline before starting work.
Do you provide CCTV maintenance and support?
Yes. We offer ongoing support contracts that cover firmware updates, camera cleaning, NVR health checks, and fault diagnosis. If a camera goes offline, we investigate and fix it. Support contracts can include CCTV alongside IT and network equipment.
