Install a CCTV doorbell security camera?
Edinburgh home owners looking to enhance home security often install a CCTV doorbell security camera, like a Ring doorbell, as a good first step. With a Ring doorbell system, you’ll have the ability to access live video footage of your doorstep directly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer by adding the indoor/ outdoor camera, spotlight or floodlight cameras.
- Whether you’re at home or away, you can answer the door remotely, speak with visitors in real time, and view any recorded footage at your convenience.
- Additionally, if you opt for a broader Ring camera system, we can install additional cameras around your property, allowing you to monitor multiple areas from one easy-to-use app. This provides a user-friendly solution for overseeing entry points, driveways, gardens, or any other important areas around your home.
- Ring systems also come with motion detection, alerting you instantly to any activity, giving you complete control over your home’s security wherever you are.

For Edinburgh businesses, whether it’s a small retail/shop unit, an office building, or a large industrial sites, security is essential. We install commercial CCTV systems that ensure 24/7 protection, regardless of the environment.
Our business CCTV security systems are equipped to handle the unpredictable Scottish weather, with durable outdoor CCTV units that withstand rain, wind, and snow, while maintaining crystal-clear footage.

For larger commercial and industrial spaces, we offer advanced industrial CCTV security systems with features like multiple camera feeds, wide-angle views, and scalable storage solutions, so that footage can be stored and accessed as needed. From warehouses and factories to office buildings and retail outlets, our systems are built to handle the demanding security needs of commercial operations, ensuring all areas of your property are monitored effectively.

With advanced features like infrared and night vision CCTV cameras, you can keep a close eye on barns, livestock, machinery, and outbuildings even in low-light conditions. These durable outdoor cameras are built to perform in all weather, ensuring continuous surveillance regardless of the elements.

The CCTV regulations in Scotland
When installing CCTV systems in Scotland, it’s important to comply with the rules and regulations that govern the use of surveillance cameras, particularly where they capture public spaces or monitor areas outside of private property. If your cameras record footage beyond your own premises, such as public footpaths or neighbouring properties, data protection laws apply under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Homeowners and businesses must ensure that CCTV use is reasonable and proportionate to the security need. Clear signage must be displayed to inform people that CCTV is in operation, and footage should be stored securely, with access restricted to authorised individuals only.
For businesses, it’s also essential to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a data controller, as you will be responsible for handling and storing personal data captured by the system.
When installing CCTV systems in public or commercial settings, it’s important to consider both privacy rights and the need for security. Our team at Ideal Electrical Solutions ensures that every system we install meets these regulatory requirements, so you can protect your property while staying compliant with Scottish law.
