Neat, professional installation with remote viewing on your phone, sensible recording retention and a clean finish. Choose 2–4 cameras for most homes; we confirm positions on a quick survey and stick to the agreed price—no surprises.
Set/unset from your phone, get instant alerts and add simple automations (e.g., lights on with an alarm). We also upgrade existing systems and fix faults—always with tidy, discreet installs.
Blurry camera? Offline recorder? Beeping keypad? We diagnose and fix most CCTV and alarm faults on first visit and offer annual servicing to keep everything reliable. Clear pricing, no hard sell.

Google reviewAnthony and Gavin were fantastic. Anthony came to survey the house for cctv installation, he has a lot of knowledge. Fitted the cameras and hid all the wiring, nothing was exposed. If you want somebody that cares and knows what they are doing, call Duke.
Google review"Great service from Anthony. He explained what he would be doing and the work was done efficiently and everything was cleaned up afterwards. Now I finally have ethernet running into the loft giving me a lot more options for future cable runs and camera installations!"
Google reviewHaving searched around for a local security company to install CCTV for my home, I came across Duke Security Systems. The owner Anthony and his staff Ryan and Gavin, were amazing from the very first contact. Swift in arranging a site survey, along with making recommendations on camera placements. It was exactly what I needed. Ryan and Gavin arrived promptly on installation day, and were really professional in undertaking the job in hand. It gave me confidence that they would deliver a first-class installation, along with any small adjustments that were required.Their communication, manner and can-do attitude was brilliant.Highly recommendedThank you all
