Quick answer

What does a security systems installer do, and what are your CCTV obligations?

A security installer fits intruder alarms, CCTV, access control and smart-home security, typically £300–£1,500. Two things matter beyond the kit: NSI or SSAIB approval is what most insurers and any police-response alarm require, and domestic CCTV that captures beyond your boundary brings you under data-protection law, with duties to signpost and to respond to footage requests.
