Manchester based CCTV specialists
Professionally designed Hikvision CCTV systems for homes and businesses, installed by Bear Watch CCTV LTD and supported by our 10 year parts and labour guarantee.
Designed properly from the beginning
Effective CCTV is about more than choosing a camera. We consider the areas you need to protect, camera height, viewing angles, lighting, cable routes, recording requirements and the way you want to use the system every day. The result is useful coverage and a clean finish, without unnecessary cameras or visible wiring wherever concealment is practical.

Hikvision ColorVu cameras retain useful colour information in low light and use built in white light when additional illumination is required.
AcuSense classification helps distinguish people and vehicles from unrelated movement, reducing unnecessary alerts when configured correctly.
We configure recording and remote viewing, connect your phones and show you how to view live video, play back footage and manage notifications.

Recording duration depends on camera quantity, resolution, frame rate, recording mode and hard-drive capacity. Our standard four-channel packages include 2TB surveillance storage and are typically configured to provide approximately one to four weeks, depending on the final settings.
