Frequently Asked Questions

We address some of the most commonly asked questions about our security systems and services. If you have a question that isn’t answered here, please contact us.

Why choose a security company in Glasgow over national chains?

Glasgow-based security companies offer several advantages: faster response times for emergencies, better understanding of local crime patterns and building regulations, personalised service from people who live in your community, and accountability to local reputation.

National chains often use subcontractors and provide generic solutions that may not suit Glasgow’s unique requirements.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Glasgow?

CCTV installation costs in Glasgow depend on several factors: number of cameras, property size, camera quality, and installation complexity. Basic 2-camera systems start from £500, while comprehensive 8-camera systems for larger properties typically range more.

To help you understand the costs, we provide free quotes tailored to your specific property layout and requirements.

Do you offer security systems across Scotland or just Glasgow?

While we’re based in Glasgow, we serve properties throughout Scotland’s central belt, including Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk, Ayr, and surrounding areas.

Our security services extend to anywhere within a 70-mile radius of Glasgow. For locations outside this area, we can recommend trusted partner companies.

Can I control my security system remotely from anywhere?

Yes, all our modern security systems include smartphone app control. You can arm/disarm your system, view live CCTV footage, receive instant alerts, and control various settings anywhere.

The Ajax Security app works on both iOS and Android devices with reliable internet connectivity.

What's the difference between monitored and unmonitored security systems?

Unmonitored systems only sound local alarms and send you notifications.

Monitored systems connect to professional monitoring stations that verify threats and contact emergency services on your behalf.

In general, Monitored systems typically see faster police response times and provide protection even when you can’t respond to alerts immediately.

How long does a typical security system installation take?

Installation timeframes vary by system complexity. Simple 2-4 camera CCTV systems typically take 4-6 hours, while comprehensive systems with multiple cameras and intruder alarms may require 1-2 days.

During your free consultation, we’ll provide accurate timeframes based on your specific requirements.

Are there ongoing costs after installation?

Yes, monitored systems include monthly monitoring fees (typically £15-£40 per month, depending on service level). Unmonitored systems have no ongoing costs but require you to respond to all alerts personally.

We’ll explain all fees upfront so you can choose the right service level for your needs.

What happens if my security system breaks down?

All our installations include comprehensive warranties covering parts and labour. We provide 24/7 technical support and have local Glasgow engineers available for rapid response.

Most issues can be resolved remotely, but we guarantee an on-site response within 24 hours for hardware problems.

Do I need planning permission for CCTV cameras in Glasgow?

Most domestic CCTV installations don’t require planning permission, but you must ensure cameras don’t inappropriately overlook neighbours’ properties or public areas.

Commercial installations may have different requirements. We handle all compliance checks and ensure your installation meets Glasgow City Council regulations.
