CCTV and security installation in City of London
City of London is known for high-rise offices, serviced buildings and fast-moving commercial premises. The Square Mile is dominated by offices and historic buildings, where access control and tidy installations matter.
Smart Guard installs CCTV, intruder alarms and access control across City of London, including the Square Mile, Barbican, Bank and Aldgate. We also cover premises close to Bank, Leadenhall Market and the Barbican. Every job starts with a free survey, so we can recommend cameras, recorders and cabling that suit your property rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Office and serviced buildings tend to need access control, reception-area cameras and well-managed remote viewing. For homes, the focus is usually on entrances, side access and a clear view of deliveries and visitors.

- Plan cabling and power early in a fit-out so cameras and access points are neat and future-proof.
- Position cameras to capture faces at entrances, not only wide views.
- Use strong, unique passwords and keep recorder firmware up to date, especially if you view footage remotely.
- Display appropriate CCTV signage and keep footage only as long as you need it; businesses should follow ICO guidance.
