Smart Home Security & CCTV Installers

Your home should react. Not just ring.

A standard alarm sounds a siren. A Prestige Home Automation system fights back.

Serving London, Hertfordshire, and Essex, we install integrated security systems that do more than just record a break-in; they prevent it. By linking your Texecom or Ajax alarm with your smart home, we turn a passive house into an active defender.

The PHA "Lockdown" Sequence

Most burglars are opportunistic. They hate light, and they hate attention. Here is what happens when a Prestige Home Automation system detects an intruder in your garden:

  1. The Spotlight: Every exterior light turns on to 100% brightness, removing all shadows.

  2. The Exposure: Ground floor blinds automatically raise, removing the intruder's cover and making them visible from the street.

  3. The Notification: Your phone pings with a high-definition snapshot from your Hikvision cameras, allowing you to view the live feed instantly—even if you are in the Maldives.

The Hardware (Best in Class)

Hikvision

Hikvision CCTV (The Eyes)

We install Hikvision ColorVu cameras that provide full-colour video even in pitch black darkness. With built-in AI, our systems can distinguish between a fox, a falling leaf, and a human—meaning no more annoying false alerts on your phone at 3 AM.

Ajax alarm

Ajax & Texecom (The Brains)

Whether you need a hardwired Grade 2 Texecom system for a new build, or the award-winning wireless Ajax system for a finished property, we are certified installers. These are robust, insurance-approved systems that don't fail.

Smart Entry (The Gatekeeper)

See who is at the gate before you open it. Our Intercom Anywhere systems ring your touchscreens and your mobile simultaneously. You can talk to the delivery driver and open the side gate for a parcel, all from your office desk.

Security starts with the network

The biggest risk to modern CCTV isn't a burglar with a crowbar; it's a hacker with a laptop.

Cheap "Do-It-Yourself" cameras are often insecure and easy to hijack. At Prestige Home Automation, we approach security like IT engineers:

  • VLAN Separation: We isolate your cameras on a separate virtual network. Even if someone hacked your Wi-Fi toaster, they couldn't access your security cameras.

  • No Cloud Reliance: We prioritise local recording (NVRs). Your footage stays in your house, not on a server in another country.

  • Battery Backup: We install UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) so that even if the power is cut, your cameras and alarm stay online.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. We can program a "CCTV" button on your Control4 or Crestron remote. If you hear a noise at night, you can pause the movie and pull up the driveway camera instantly on the big screen.

  • Absolutely. We are huge fans of Ajax Systems. They use a proprietary encrypted radio protocol with a range of up to 2,000 meters. We can secure a 5-bedroom home in Epping or St Albans in one day without lifting a single floorboard.

  • Your alarm will still work perfectly locally (sirens will sound). For monitoring, we can install a 4G Back-up module that uses a mobile SIM card to ensure the system can still alert you and the police even if the phone line is cut.
