CCTV42 was formed because I was disillusioned with the lack of information available to customers and the poor quality of products sold by most of our competitors. Even today the vast majority of CCTV equipment out there fails miserably when compared to the advertising promises.
There was and still is a lot of product confusion in the market. DVR recorders with seemingly inferior specifications are more expensive than supposedly “better” DVRs on the same website. Technical jargon that makes no sense or is just wrong. Cameras with advertised ranges that fail to provide sufficient detail to identify someone at even a quarter of the promised distance. The list goes on.
We are firm believers in the old adage of keeping things simple. People selling CCTV are always jumping on the next bandwagon without actually asking why or addressing the real problem. Camera resolution is a prime example. Just throwing pixels at the problem merely fills up your hard drive too quickly and puts strain on your system. Far better to strike a comfortable balance between sensible High definition and avoiding wide-angle lens cameras which then waste all those valuable pixels.
We are a real company, not just an internet site and offer one-to-one advice if you are planning a CCTV system. We are also there in the event something goes wrong or you need technical help setting up or operating your system. You get to speak to someone with real knowledge rather than a call centre operative working off a script.
We don`t claim to be the cheapest CCTV supplier in the UK but are confident our prices stand close scrutiny when compared like for like. The low price does sometimes come at a far greater cost. Any amount no matter how small is a waste if the system won’t do what you were hoping.
CCTV is a great product that can provide assurance in so many different ways but as an industry, we are full of lies and misinformation. I want to turn that around so you end up with a CCTV system that does exactly what it says on the tin.

CCTV42 are the answer for the DIY installer who wants the very best at a fair price. Their knowledge (just look at their website), friendly advice and outstanding customer support are the finest you could wish for. On a couple of occasions I have needed their assistance the telephone advice from Marcus has been superb.
In an age where customer service usually means a recorded message that drones on and on to say how important we are to them, cctv42 is like a breath of fresh air.
They employ people, real ones; people who are technically proficient and who care about their customers.
I’ve been buying from and seeking advice from cctv42 for nearly fifteen years now and they’ve never been anything less than exceptional. Truly remarkable and I don’t know how they do it at their prices.
I first bought CCTV from this company perhaps 15 years ago and when I needed additional ones years later I went straight back to them without even looking at rival companies. Over the years, whenever I have had any CCTV related problem, the team there are always happy to help and they will get back to you quickly with to the point efficient advice. And if you need a 121 on the phone, they are happy to spend however long it takes to get you sorted. I am sure I am at the lower level of customer expertise but they have always been endlessly patient with me. I highly recommend CCTV42.
The most helpful company I have encountered, twice I have phoned them for help, due to my computer ignorance. At the age of 70+,nothing seams to be a bother to then. I wish more company's would follow their example.
