One Stop CCTV is an authorised reseller of one of the world’s Leading CCTV Manufacturers – Hikvision. They also supply products from other leading brands, which allows them to offer an extensive range of products best suited to your needs.

Their location is on Great Ducie Street, which makes them accessible when you’re in Cheetham Hill, or any part of central Manchester. We like that their customer service is well-praised by other clients we’ve talked to before.

In addition, we’re also impressed by their extensive offers, which include security camera installation for both residential and commercial spaces.

What we’re a bit iffy about is their after-sales service. According to our research,  they can be unresponsive when it comes to online and phone inquiries.

Despite these cons, another thing that keeps us positive about them is their product offers.

Like we mentioned, they are trusted resellers for security cameras, which makes them a great option if you want to ensure the quality of the product they’re using.

Furthermore, based on client interviews, they also have strategic cable management techniques to make sure the installation process works well with your space.

On the topic of pricing, the same clients we’ve interviewed rated their price range to be average. Since this service varies widely depending on the space, it’s safe to say that they’re within the affordable budgets.

Overall, they’re an excellent choice for those looking for a reasonable price without compromising the quality of their products used.

Second eye was founded in 2010, and since then, it has expanded rapidly to become a well-regarded CCTV installation company in the UK.

They’re located at Hulme, which is one of the poshest areas in Manchester. We love that their location is quite accessible for those who prefer to visit the shops for themselves.

Another thing that sets them apart from our other picks is that they have a money-back guarantee within the first thirty days if you’re not satisfied with their service or products.

The way we see it, security camera installation is very much a customised experience, which gives this guarantee more value.

In addition, another thing we liked about them is that their products are available for viewing on their website. There’s also a wide range of products to choose from.

One thing we’d like clients to know is that their product prices are not readily viewable on their website. You’ll have to sign up and login to their website before seeing the prices.

Even so, what keeps us positive about them is their amazing customer service. We’d recommend calling their customer service hotline for any inquiries you may have.

Apart from that, they’re an excellent choice for first-time buyers for security camera installation.

Light4U Electrics Ltd is a small, family-run company that prides itself on excellent service and competitive prices. They started their business in Manchester back in 2021.

Compared to the other entries on this list, Light4U Electrics Ltd is a fairly newer company. Nonetheless, they are still worth considering.

What initially impressed us about them was their excellent customer service. According to interviews we’ve had with their clients, they are easily approachable and are always willing to accommodate specific needs.

In addition, we were further pleased to know that they offer a wide range of security cameras that are perfect for those who are looking to install a security system for their home.

That said, one thing we think clients should know is that Light4U Electrics Ltd specialises in residential spaces – they don’t service commercial spaces for now.

Another thing that we’re a bit iffy about is that they don’t have a physical store where you can come in and inquire about their products and services.

However, what kept our initial positive impression about them is that they are very responsive to online and phone inquiries.

Ultimately, they are still a strong contender if you’re looking for a company that specialises in residential spaces and won’t break your budget.

Absolute Surveillance Systems Ltd provides security solutions for customers of all sizes, whether they are multinational corporations with numerous sites or small businesses with single premises.

What we liked about them is their amazing customer service reviews and their extensive product offers.

Based on our experience, they’re very responsive to online and phone inquiries. We think this makes the experience better because they also give suggestions on how to best address their client’s needs.

Furthermore, we’re also impressed that they cater to bioth residential and large scale commercial spaces that may require a lot of back end collaboration.

There is something to be said when it comes to having a great track record in an industry that they’ve been with for a long time.

Most, if not all, of the client’s we’ve talked to praised them for their exceptional service over and over again. 

The only downside for us is that they’re located in Newton Heath,a bit far from the central district of Manchester. We think this can be a deterrent for those who are a bit far from that area.

In any case, given all the positive raves about them, we think they are a great option for those who are in the market for a more large-scale installation project!

Rotec Alarms Ltd was established in 1991 and has been installing and maintaining burglar alarms for nearly 30 years, providing peace of mind to families in the Manchester, Stockport, and Cheshire areas.

The company offers a personal service, and in our books, this is very important when customers decide on the ideal security system for their protection and security.

We also think it’s notable that their award-winning Lightsys system was designed to suit all age ranges. It’s configured to cater even to the elderly will have no problem figuring out how the system works—convenient, right?

Furthermore, their price structure is transparent and easily accessible on their website. Whether one lives in a mansion or a council house, you are assured to receive the company’s very best advice and a fair price for the work.

One thing we noticed is that they do require clients to be subscribed to Risco Cloud. This is their cloud storage system that stores all of the footage and is required for their equipment to run.

Most of our interviews claimed that the company would gloss over this during the installation and orientation phase. So, we think that Rotec Alarms Ltd can do a better job in educating their clients about this function.

Aside from this though, we highly recommend Rotec Alarms Ltd for those who want a simple, plug and go security system that is not overly complicated.
