Professional Home Security Systems for Solihull Properties
Protect your home with professional CCTV systems, security lighting, video doorbells, and intruder alarms. Farthing Electrical specialises in integrated security solutions that give you complete peace of mind, with remote viewing on your smartphone and reliable 24/7 protection.
We’re certified Hikvision security associates, ensuring you get market-leading CCTV technology with full-colour night vision and remote monitoring. NICEIC-registered installation, transparent pricing, and all systems designed specifically for your property’s layout and security requirements.
Security System Installation Pricing
Security system costs vary depending on property size, number of cameras or sensors required, cable runs, and whether you want smart home integration. A small property with a basic CCTV setup requires a very different solution to a larger property with full perimeter coverage and integrated alarms — so there’s no single figure that applies to every job.
Every installation includes a professional site survey, full system design, NICEIC-registered installation, smartphone app setup and training, remote viewing configuration, complete system testing, and a 12-month guarantee. We’ll identify everything required during the survey and provide a fixed, no-obligation quote before anything proceeds. No hidden costs, no surprises.

Security Systems We Install
CCTV Camera Systems — Hikvision certified installations with full-colour night vision, remote viewing on smartphone/tablet, and cloud storage options. We design systems with strategic camera placement for complete property coverage without blind spots.
Security Lighting — PIR motion-activated floodlights, timer and photocell options, and manual override controls. Smart options available with integrated cameras for dual security coverage. Positioned to eliminate dark areas around your property perimeter.
Video Doorbells — Ring and Nest video doorbell installation with HD video quality, motion detection, night vision, and two-way audio. See and speak to visitors from anywhere using your smartphone.
Intruder Alarm Systems — Professionally installed alarm systems with door/window sensors, motion detectors, and smartphone alerts. Police response-compatible systems available with monitoring service integration.
Why Install Professional Security Systems?
Visible deterrent to burglars — Properties with CCTV cameras and security lighting are significantly less likely to be targeted. Visible security systems make criminals move on to easier targets.
Remote property monitoring — Check your property from anywhere in the world using your smartphone. Receive instant alerts when motion is detected or someone approaches your door.
Evidence for police and insurance — High-quality CCTV footage provides crucial evidence if the worst happens. Many insurance companies offer reduced premiums for properties with professional security systems.
Peace of mind when away — Whether you’re at work, on holiday, or simply out for the evening, professional security systems let you check your property anytime and receive alerts if anything unusual happens.
Increase property value — Professionally installed security systems are a selling point that adds value to your property and appeals to security-conscious buyers.
What Happens During Security System Installation?
1. Property Survey — We visit your property to assess security requirements, identify vulnerable areas, and recommend camera/sensor positions for optimal coverage. We’ll discuss your specific concerns and design a system that addresses them.
2. System Design & Quote — We provide a detailed quote showing equipment costs, installation work, and expected coverage. You’ll see exactly what cameras/sensors will be installed and where they’ll be positioned.
3. Professional Installation — All cabling is run neatly (concealed where possible), cameras and sensors are mounted securely, and systems are configured for optimal performance. We ensure all equipment is weatherproof and tamper-resistant.
4. Setup & Training — We configure your smartphone app, demonstrate remote viewing, show you how to review footage, and explain all system features. You’ll be confident using your security system before we leave.

Security System Installation FAQs
Can I view my CCTV cameras on my phone?
Yes, all our CCTV systems include smartphone/tablet app setup. You can view live footage, review recordings, and receive motion detection alerts from anywhere with an internet connection.
How long is CCTV footage stored?
This depends on your system’s storage capacity and number of cameras. Typically, systems store 7–30 days of footage locally. Cloud storage options are available for longer retention periods.
Will security lighting work during power cuts?
Standard security lights require mains power. For critical areas, we can install battery-backup systems or integrate with your existing emergency lighting setup.
Do I need planning permission for CCTV cameras?
Generally no, but cameras must not overlook neighbouring properties beyond reasonable boundaries. We’ll position cameras to comply with privacy regulations and GDPR requirements.
