Commercial CCTV Compliance and BS 7671 Standards
Every commercial CCTV installation by Maxim is wired to BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations 18th Edition) with cable management to current standards. Where the system records identifiable individuals, you’ll need to register as a data controller with the ICO under UK GDPR/DPA 2018 — we provide the signage, retention guidance and ICO registration paperwork as part of the install. For licensed premises, our designs follow police-grade footage retention specifications.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a commercial CCTV installation take?
Most 4 to 8 camera commercial installations are completed in 1 to 3 working days. Larger multi-site or high-camera-count installs are scheduled in phases to minimise disruption to trading.
Do you offer CCTV maintenance contracts in Liverpool?
Yes. We offer annual maintenance covering health-checks, firmware updates, lens cleaning, storage verification and call-out cover across Liverpool, Merseyside and the wider North West.
Can you upgrade an existing CCTV system?
In most cases yes. Many of our installs are camera or NVR upgrades that reuse existing cabling. We carry out a free survey first to confirm compatibility before quoting.
Do I need ICO registration to operate commercial CCTV?
If your CCTV records identifiable individuals you are processing personal data and must register with the Information Commissioner's Office as a data controller. We supply the required signage and guidance with every installation.
What is the difference between IP and HD-Analogue CCTV?
IP systems run over network cabling and offer higher resolution, on-camera analytics and easier multi-site integration. HD-Analogue uses traditional coax cabling and is often more cost-effective for upgrades to existing systems. We will recommend the right option based on the survey.
Are your CCTV installations GDPR compliant?
Yes. Every installation includes appropriate signage, secure storage, retention controls and documentation to support your obligations as a data controller under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
