Alarms & CCTV Systems Northampton
Access Control Solutions installs and maintains burglar alarms and CCTV for homes and businesses across Northampton. We have over 20 years in the trade, and our Leicester base is under an hour down the A508, so a survey is easy to book. If you want honest advice on what your property needs, give us a call.
Alarms and cameras that suit the property
Northampton has everything from Victorian terraces around Abington to new estates in Upton and Grange Park, and some of the busiest logistics sites in the country along the M1. The right alarm and camera setup looks very different in each.
We start with a site visit, look at how the building is used and where the real risks are, then give you a clear written quote. If your existing system only needs a service, we will tell you.
Burglar Alarms in Northampton
A properly installed alarm with a visible bell box remains one of the most effective deterrents for homes and businesses alike. Most intruders are looking for an easy job, and a working system tells them to look elsewhere.
Wired or wireless?
Wired alarms are very dependable and make sense in new builds, refurbishments and commercial units. Wireless systems go in quickly with almost no mess, so they suit finished homes. We will recommend whichever fits your building.
Alerts straight to your phone
Most of the alarms we fit come with an app, so you can set the system remotely and get an alert the moment something triggers.

CCTV Systems in Northampton
The best CCTV does two jobs: it puts people off, and if something does happen it captures footage clear enough to act on. We design every system around the views that matter, whether that is the front door, the yard or a vehicle gate.
Our systems use high definition IP cameras recording to a network video recorder on site, with an app for remote viewing. On large commercial sites we can cover long perimeters and vehicle entrances with cameras chosen for distance and low light.
Business CCTV
For warehouses and units around Brackmills and Moulton Park, the priorities are usually gates, loading bays, yards and entrances. Business CCTV falls under data protection law, so we cover signage and camera positions in the design.
Home CCTV
Home cameras that only see your own property sit outside data protection law. Once they take in the street or a neighbour’s garden the rules apply, so we position cameras and use privacy masking to avoid that wherever possible.
CCTV and Alarms for Northampton Schools
We fit CCTV and intruder alarms for primaries, secondaries and academies around Northampton. Cameras watch the gates, car parks and boundaries, and the alarm protects the buildings out of hours.
Schools are covered by UK GDPR, so every camera needs a clear purpose, visible signage and sensible retention, and none should look into toilets or changing areas. Our guide to CCTV in schools explains what the rules ask for.
Work is planned around term time and the school day, so lessons are not disrupted.
- CCTV covering gates, entrances, car parks and boundaries
- Cameras positioned with pupil privacy in mind
- Intruder alarms protecting the site out of hours
- Remote viewing for the site team
- Work booked around term time
Automatic gates and access control from the same team
We also install automatic gates, barriers, access control and door entry across Northampton, so everything can work together. A camera on the gate shows who is waiting, and one fob can open the barrier and the office door.
Alarm and CCTV servicing in Northampton
Cameras drift, batteries fade and detectors get knocked out of line. We service and repair alarms and CCTV across Northampton, including systems another company installed, and a yearly visit costs far less than an emergency call out.

What our customers say
Security systems in Northampton: your questions answered
How much does CCTV installation cost in Northampton?
It depends on the number of cameras, the cable runs, how much footage you want to keep and the camera specification. We give a fixed written quote after a site visit.
Do I need permission to put CCTV on my house?
Not as such, but if your cameras capture beyond your boundary, data protection law applies and you take on some responsibilities. We position cameras to avoid that where we can.
Is a wireless alarm reliable enough?
Yes. A good quality wireless alarm, professionally installed, is a very reliable option for most homes. Wired systems still suit larger commercial buildings and properties being renovated.
Can you cover a large warehouse or yard with CCTV?
Yes. We design systems for logistics and industrial sites, using long range and low light cameras on perimeters, gates and loading bays, with remote viewing for site managers.
Can I set my alarm from my phone?
Yes. Most of the alarms we fit come with an app for setting, unsetting and instant alerts, and we set it up on your phone at handover.
Do you cover Towcester, Daventry and Wellingborough?
We do. Alongside Northampton itself, we regularly work in Towcester, Daventry, Brixworth, Moulton and Wellingborough.
Do you install CCTV and alarms in Northampton schools?
Yes. We fit CCTV and intruder alarms for schools and academies across Northampton, with cameras positioned to protect pupil privacy and the work booked around term dates.
