CCTV Installation in Measham

What you get

• Site survey

  We visit your Measham property, walk every approach and boundary, check lighting and cable routing options, and pin down the coverage that actually matters - before we recommend a single camera.

• System design

  Camera positions, lens types, and recording capacity built around your property - whether that’s a listed frontage on the High Street, a solid-walled terrace off Ashby Road, or a unit on one of the A42 estates.

• Professional installation

  Cables routed through lofts, cavities, and existing conduit. No surface‑clipped runs across your front elevation, and minimal-impact routing on older and planning-sensitive stock. Clean, permanent work that lasts.

• Handover and training

  Full walkthrough of live view, playback, app access, and basic troubleshooting so you can actually use the system from day one.

Residential CCTV in Measham

Measham’s housing is a real spread, and the right install changes with it. The Georgian and Victorian frontages along the High Street and Ashby Road include some listed buildings and plenty of planning-sensitive stock, where anything bolted to a front elevation shows and can need consent. On these we route cables internally through the loft and drop down inside, keep the camera bodies small and set them under eaves or on side returns rather than across the face of the building, and we leave the frontage looking untouched. If your property is listed or in a sensitive spot, we flag exactly what is and isn’t appropriate at the survey rather than fitting first and asking later.

The colliery-era terraces that came with the town’s mining history are solid-walled, with no cavity to run through and often shallow lofts. Cable routing here takes care: we run through the loft space and drop internally where we can, or use existing conduit and downpipe lines to keep runs off the brickwork. On a typical Measham terrace we’re threading 12-18 metres of cable per camera to keep everything concealed. A standard two to three camera system for a terrace - front entrance, rear yard, side access - typically costs £1,100-£1,400 fully installed.

The postwar and modern estates around the edges of Measham are the most straightforward we install: cavity walls, accessible lofts, consistent eave heights, and regular plots with a front drive, side gate, and enclosed rear garden. A four‑camera system covering those approaches is the most common configuration we fit on these estates. Plots often sit close together, so neighbouring driveways can fall inside a standard wide‑angle lens - we use varifocal lenses where needed to keep coverage on your own boundary.

A42-corridor commercial and distribution units

Measham sits right on the A42 at Junctions 12 and 13, and the light-industrial and distribution estates that line the corridor are the main commercial zone in this part of North West Leicestershire. Units range from small trade premises and workshops to larger distribution and logistics operations. The security picture is typical of estates like these: vehicle access from a small number of gates, loading bays working at odd hours, and perimeter fencing that gives clear mounting lines if it’s used properly.

For these units we design perimeter coverage from varifocal cameras on the fence line and fixed cameras at each vehicle and pedestrian entrance. Number-plate capture at the main gate needs a dedicated ANPR-optimised lens on a camera with a wide dynamic range sensor, so it holds the plate against headlights and a dark background. Yard runs on a distribution site can pass 70 metres, well inside the 100‑metre limit for hardwired PoE, but we specify external-grade armoured Cat6 in conduit or buried duct for any yard crossing so it survives forklifts and weather. On perimeters where identification distance runs to 15 metres or more we step up the camera resolution, which we cover in the specs that matter.

Smaller trade and retail premises in the town centre need a different shape: entrance cover, counter or till areas at closer range, and rear delivery doors. We match the camera and lens to each zone rather than fitting identical cameras throughout - a small unit might need only three, where the lens choices matter far more than the camera count.

About Doberman

Doberman is a Leicester‑based CCTV installation company. We design, install, and support hardwired PoE camera systems for homes and businesses across Leicestershire - including regular work in Measham and the North West Leicestershire villages around it. We’ve fitted everything from two‑camera terrace installs off Ashby Road to multi‑camera perimeter systems on the A42 distribution estates. Every installation is carried out by our own team; we don’t subcontract.

We’re based in Leicester, roughly 30 minutes from Measham via the M1 and A42. We work in this corner of the county regularly and understand the property types - the Georgian and listed frontages on the High Street, the ex-mining terraces, the postwar and modern estates, and the canal-adjacent plots on the old wharf lines.

Before getting in touch, you can read how we work on our CCTV blog, which covers camera placement, the specs that matter, and what drives the price of an install. The Doberman homepage lays out our services in full, and our areas we cover page lists every place we install.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Measham?

Yes. We’re based in Leicester, about 30 minutes away via the M1 and A42, and work in Measham and the surrounding area regularly. We cover the town itself plus Donisthorpe, Oakthorpe, Snarestone, Appleby Magna, and the A42 estates.

How many cameras does a typical Measham home need?

Most homes need three to four cameras. A standard estate semi needs one on the front and driveway, one on the rear garden, and one or two on side access. A terrace off Ashby Road may need fewer cameras but more careful cable routing through solid walls. We confirm the exact count at the survey.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Measham?

A typical three to four camera residential system starts from around £950 for hardware, with installation on top. Total installed cost for a standard home is usually £1,100-£1,500. Listed properties, canal-side installs, and commercial premises on the A42 estates cost more. We give a fixed written quote after the site survey - one price for the whole job.

My property is listed or on the High Street. Can you still fit CCTV?

Yes, and it’s the sort of job we plan carefully. On listed and planning-sensitive frontages we route cables internally, keep camera bodies small and off the face of the building, and set them under eaves or on side returns so the frontage stays untouched. Where consent may be needed we tell you plainly at the survey rather than fitting first.

Do I need to pay a monthly subscription?

No. Recording is kept on a recorder at your Measham property rather than in the cloud, so there is no subscription to pay. The hardware and the footage are yours to keep, and remote viewing through the app runs on your existing broadband for free.

My garden backs onto the old canal. Does that affect installation?

Yes, and it’s worth raising at the survey. Canal-side plots have approaches with no lighting and irregular boundaries, so cameras there need at least 30-metre IR range and a wide enough angle to catch the full width. We also fit IP67 housings as standard and pay extra attention to sealing cable entries on any water-facing install.
