Cardiff · Welsh Capital · CF1–CF24
Wales' largest city demands the highest standard of security installation. CCTV, alarms, fire systems, and access control — all designed for Cardiff's diverse property landscape.
Cardiff is Wales' capital and its most populous city — a diverse mix of Victorian terraces, modern apartments, student accommodation, city centre retail, and some of the most significant commercial and hospitality developments in the UK outside London. Security requirements here are as varied as the city itself.
We install across all of Cardiff: domestic CCTV for homeowners in Canton and Llandaff, AJAX alarm systems for landlords in Roath and Cathays, commercial-grade security for Cardiff Bay restaurants and offices, access control for city centre business premises, and fire alarms for the HMO and student property market that makes up a significant portion of Cardiff's housing stock.
Ben Norris of Premium CCTV & Alarms Ltd — AJAX and Uniview Certified Specialist with 15 years of experience — leads every Cardiff installation personally. No subcontractors. No compromises on quality.

Residential Security
Cardiff's residential market spans every property type — from the dense Victorian terraces of Roath, Cathays, and Canton to the executive detached homes of Lisvane, Pontprennau, and Rhiwbina. We have installed in all of them.
South Wales Police statistics consistently show residential burglary concentrated in Cardiff's inner suburbs. A properly installed CCTV system with colour night vision and a wireless AJAX alarm are the most effective deterrents available — and increasingly a requirement for home insurance in higher-risk postcodes.
We design each domestic system around the specific property — camera positions, cable routing, recording strategy, and remote viewing setup. Nothing is off-the-shelf.
Landlords & HMO Operators
Cardiff has one of the largest HMO and student rental markets in Wales. Cathays, Roath, and Grangetown alone contain thousands of shared houses and multi-let properties — each with specific legal obligations around fire detection, and growing demand for CCTV in communal areas.
We work with Cardiff landlords and letting agents on a regular basis. Fire alarms installed to BS5839 standard, CCTV covering entrances and communal stairwells, and access control for shared front doors are the most common requirements. We also service and maintain existing systems for portfolio landlords.
If you manage multiple Cardiff properties, ask about our landlord maintenance packages.
Commercial Security
Cardiff's commercial landscape has transformed significantly in recent years. Cardiff Bay now hosts a dense cluster of restaurants, bars, offices, and hotels. The city centre retail core, Central Square, and the Cardiff Gate and Cardiff Capital Region business parks represent significant commercial security demand.
We design commercial systems for premises of all scales — a single-unit independent retailer in Canton, a multi-floor office in Central Square, or a large hospitality venue on the Cardiff Bay waterfront. Each system is designed around the specific risk profile of the premises.
Commercial installations include CCTV, intruder alarms, fire alarm systems, and access control — individually or as an integrated security solution.

Cardiff Installation — Recent Case Study
We installed a full security system for a restaurant and bar operation on the Cardiff Bay waterfront. The venue had experienced two incidents of late-night theft and needed a system that covered the full premises — exterior approach, entrance lobby, bar area, back-of-house, and a secure office containing a safe.
The installation comprised 10 cameras, a Uniview 4K NVR with 30-day storage, an AJAX alarm system covering all entry points and the office, and a key fob access control system for the rear staff entrance and the secure storage area.
The management team can monitor all cameras in real time via smartphone. The system has since provided footage in two staff-related HR investigations and deterred a further attempted break-in captured on the exterior cameras.
