Home security cameras are most useful when they are mounted in the right places, cabled neatly and set up so you can actually check them. Nimbus installs residential indoor and outdoor cameras — wireless, wired and CCTV — and talks through placement, cable routes and compatible recorder or app setup during the assessment, before any work begins.
Wireless cameras connect to your home Wi-Fi rather than a data cable, but most still need power from an outlet, a power cable or a rechargeable battery. We mount and position them and help connect them to the manufacturer's app on your phone, where your equipment and Wi-Fi signal allow.
Wired cameras use a cable for the connection and often for power as well, which can suit locations where Wi-Fi is weak. Cable routes are planned and discussed during the assessment so they suit your home and the camera locations you want.
CCTV systems send camera video to a dedicated recorder in your home rather than broadcasting it publicly. Recording and remote viewing depend on the recorder and cameras being compatible with each other, which we confirm with your quote.
Good placement matters more than the number of cameras. We discuss what you want each camera to see, mounting height and surface, and practical cable or power access, then install the cameras securely in the agreed positions.
If you already own cameras or a recorder, we can look at whether they are suitable to install or reinstall. Some older or mismatched equipment may not work together, and we will tell you what we find before you decide on anything.
Nimbus focuses on installing and setting up cameras for homes. We do not provide alarm panels, access control, professional monitoring or alarm response, electrical panel or mains wiring work, home network upgrades, or commercial and specialist systems. We do not promise specific brands or equipment supply; compatibility of customer-supplied equipment, recording and remote viewing is confirmed with your quote. For questions about privacy rules or where cameras may point, seek appropriate advice.

"Wireless" refers to how the camera sends video — usually over Wi-Fi. Many wireless cameras still need a power source such as an outlet, a cable or a battery. Wired cameras use a cable for the connection and often for power, which can help where Wi-Fi is unreliable.
Often, yes. Tell us the brand and model in your request. We confirm whether the equipment is compatible and suitable for the locations you want when we quote.
How many cameras you want, indoor or outdoor locations, what each should cover, whether you already have equipment, and the brand and model if so. Mention any photos of the locations and we can arrange how to receive them.
That depends on your cameras, recorder and app being compatible and on your home internet connection. We confirm what your equipment supports with your quote rather than promising it in advance.
You send a request or call, we discuss locations and equipment, then provide a clear quote before work begins. Installation is scheduled at a time arranged with you.
