Case Study: Seamless CCTV Installation for a Home Under Renovation

When you’re about to move into a new home, security is often one of the top priorities. That was certainly the case for one of our recent customers, who got in touch with us at We Fit Home Tech for help securing their property before moving day.

They had specific concerns about key entry points around the house and wanted a CCTV system that would offer reliable, high-quality coverage—without leaving any visible cables behind. Here’s how we helped them create a smart, discreet solution that ticked all the boxes.

Challenges

We were contacted by a client just before they moved into a new property. Their main concern was home security—they wanted to keep key areas like the front door and drive, the side entrance, and the rear garden covered at all times. Because the property was still undergoing renovation, they hoped for a solution that would not only deliver high-quality surveillance but also keep everything tidy, with no visible wiring.

Our Approach

At We Fit Home Tech, we always aim to create tailored solutions based on the customer’s needs and budget. In this case, the renovation stage of the property gave us a unique opportunity—we were able to conceal every single cable by chasing them into the walls, ensuring there were no exposed wires at all. This level of finish isn’t always possible, but we take every opportunity to make our installs as clean as possible.

We designed a CCTV system using four 6MP IP cameras. These provide exceptionally sharp images with the ability to clearly identify faces and vehicles, even from a distance. Each camera is equipped with dual illumination technology, offering two night vision modes—standard black and white or full-colour. This means even in poorly lit areas like a garden or driveway, the camera can provide a clear, coloured image regardless of how dark it gets.

To make sure our client had plenty of storage, we installed a 4TB hard drive, which allows for up to three weeks of continuous 24/7 recording. On top of that, we set up motion alerts for each camera, so if someone enters a marked detection zone, the customer gets an instant notification on their phone.

Results

The client was extremely pleased with the outcome. They now have a robust CCTV system that covers all their vulnerable points, delivers high-resolution video day and night, and blends seamlessly into the home without unsightly wires. The concealed cabling added a sleek finish, made possible by the timing of the install during renovation.

They’ve since asked us to return in a few weeks to install a brand-new alarm system too—proof that when you get the job done right the first time, trust follows naturally.
