CCTV Installation in
Manchester.
Need security footage that holds up when you have to use it? Our Manchester team installs CCTV for commercial premises right across the city, from a single trade counter to a multi-site estate. We handle everything end to end: the site survey, the cabling, the cameras and the setup, and we work around your operating hours rather than through them. The result is a system that works on day one and keeps watch long after we have left.
Professional CCTV Installation Across Manchester.
Core Comms is a North West firm with our base just down the road in Trafford Park, so Manchester is home turf. Our CCTV installation team surveys the site, fits and configures the whole system, then hands it over to the people who will actually use it, with the recording, retention and app access already set the way you need them.
We cover the full job in-house: structured cabling, camera placement, network setup and app configuration. Because we also handle structured data cabling in Manchester and business WiFi, your CCTV sits on infrastructure that is built properly from the start, not bolted on as an afterthought. That means cleaner installs, fewer dropouts and footage that is there when you need it.
If your estate runs beyond Greater Manchester, the same team and the same specification cover CCTV installation in Liverpool and CCTV installation in Leeds, so a rollout across several sites is handled by one contractor working to one standard rather than three local firms with three different systems.
With more than 50 years' combined experience across cabling, telecoms, CCTV and AV behind the team, we have fitted systems for offices, retail units, warehouses and industrial sites across Greater Manchester. Speed, security and reliability run through every install.
Specifying a System That Stands Up.
The gap between a system that gives you evidence and one that gives you a grainy shape is all in the specification. These are the four decisions we work through with you at the survey, camera position by camera position, so every unit on the wall has a job it can actually do.
Resolution: 4K Where It Earns Its Place
Resolution is a specification decision, not a badge. A 4K camera trained on a delivery yard gate will give you a readable number plate on a vehicle coming through the barrier, which a wide overview camera never will. We set the resolution position by position during the survey, so you get usable detail where it produces evidence rather than paying to fill storage with it everywhere else.Low-Light and Overnight Performance
Most incidents on a commercial site happen outside trading hours, when the yard lighting is off and nobody is on site. We specify infrared and low-light cameras for the positions that need them, an unlit service yard, a rear loading area, a compound gate, so the overnight footage is something you can actually identify a person or a vehicle from.Multi-User App Access
Every system we install is viewable from a single app on a phone or tablet, and access can be shared across your team. A duty manager can pull up a live feed from the floor, a facilities manager can scroll back through recordings, and whoever is on call can pick up motion alerts out of hours. We set the accounts up with your people before we leave site.Evidence Export for Insurers
Footage is only worth recording if you can get it back out when it matters. We configure recording and retention so an incident can be found by date and time and exported cleanly for an insurer, a loss adjuster or an internal investigation. If your policy sets specific retention conditions, bring them to the survey and we will build the system around them.Looking for cameras at a private address rather than a commercial site?

Business CCTV in Manchester.
For Manchester operators, CCTV is about protecting stock, premises, staff and customers, and having solid evidence to hand when something goes wrong. We design systems around how your site actually works, then install them with minimal disruption to your trading day. Where a site spans more than one building or a long yard run, we link the buildings on fibre cabling so cameras at the far end of the estate record to the same system as everything else.
Office & Retail
From a city-centre office in the Northern Quarter to a retail unit in the suburbs, we cover entrances, tills, stockrooms and communal areas. Footage is clear, recordings are reliable, and the whole system is easy for your team to access when needed.Warehouse & Industrial
Larger sites in Trafford Park, Salford and the industrial estates around Manchester need cameras that cover wide yards, loading bays and high-ceiling interiors. We plan camera placement to remove blind spots and run the cabling to suit big footprints, so nothing falls through the gaps.Insurance-Compliant
A well-specified CCTV system can support your insurance requirements and help with any claim. We will design your system to meet the coverage your insurer expects and make sure recordings are stored and retained properly. If your policy sets specific conditions, bring them to the survey and we will build the system around them.Access Control Integration
CCTV works best alongside the rest of your security. We can integrate cameras with access control and door entry, so you can see who is coming and going and tie footage to entry events. It is one less thing to manage and a clearer picture of your site.Manchester Areas We Cover.
We install CCTV right across Manchester and the surrounding areas, including the city centre, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Altrincham, Didsbury, Chorlton, the Northern Quarter and out across the wider Greater Manchester patch. Being based in Trafford Park means we can get to most Manchester postcodes quickly for both surveys and aftercare. You can see the full picture on our Manchester service area page.
Our Installation Process.
We keep things straightforward from first call to final handover.
First, we carry out a free site survey, walking the premises with you, talking through the risks you are trying to cover and identifying the best camera positions. Next, we provide a clear, itemised quote with no jargon and no surprises. Once it is approved, we book the install for a slot that works around your operating hours.
On the day, our engineers fit the cameras, run the cabling neatly, set up the recording and retention and configure app access for your team. Before we leave, we walk your managers through the system so they can find and export footage without ringing us first. After that, we are still on hand if you have questions or want to add cameras later.
CCTV Installation Cost.
The cost of CCTV in Manchester depends on how many cameras you need, the resolution at each position, where they are going and how much cabling is involved. A few cameras covering one entrance and a small yard sits at the lower end. A multi-camera system across a warehouse, a trade counter and an external compound runs higher, and a site spread over several buildings higher again because of the cabling between them.
That is a guide to help you budget, not a fixed quote. The only way to get an accurate figure is a quick site survey, which is free and comes with no obligation. We will give you a clear, itemised price so you know exactly what you are paying for and what each camera is there to do.
Free Manchester Site Survey.
Every good CCTV system starts with a proper survey. It is the best way to spot blind spots, plan camera positions and get the coverage right first time. Our Manchester survey is free, with no pressure to proceed. Book a free Manchester CCTV survey and we will take it from there.
CCTV FAQs.
Accreditations and Site Safety.
Most facilities, IT and operations managers check the compliance paperwork before they will even invite a contractor to quote, so here it is up front. Core Comms is Constructionline Gold registered and SafeContractor approved, and our engineers turn up with the certification a working site expects rather than a promise to send it on later.
Site safety is run in-house too, with training delivered through the HS Direct portal, so induction paperwork and method statements are not a scramble on the morning of the install.
