Zenith Security Co. · Authorised Hikvision partner · Approved HiLook distributor · Supplying trade and retail since 2012
CCTV systems for Northampton, planned with you and delivered in 1–2 working days.
Zenith Security Co. supplies CCTV systems to Northampton homes, businesses and installers. We are a supplier with a showroom and trade counter in Wolverhampton, not an installer, so we don't fit systems or attend call-outs. What we do: sell genuine Hikvision, HiLook and Dahua equipment, help you put the right parts together, and support it once it's running. If you'd rather have it fitted, we may be able to recommend a trade installer, and warranty stays with us.
What makes a good CCTV system?
Cameras, a recorder, cabling and storage. Plan them in this order:
Views. List every door, gate and parking space you need to cover.
Cameras. 4MP for most doorways and gardens; 8MP or varifocal for longer views. The Hikvision IP camera buying guide explains turrets, bullets and domes.
Recorder. An NVR with PoE ports powers IP cameras over one cable each. Leave spare channels. See the NVR buying guide.
Wireless CCTV comes up a lot in Northampton searches. The honest answer:
Wired PoE cameras are the most reliable for continuous recording. One network cable carries power and video, and nothing depends on your Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi cameras are useful where cable is hard to run, such as terraced houses or detached garages. They still need a power socket and a good Wi-Fi signal at the camera.
Mixing both is common and works fine with a HiLook or Hikvision recorder.
Homes in Northampton
Town-centre terraces in areas like Kingsthorpe sit close to the pavement. Mount cameras lower and angle them onto your own door, and use privacy masking for anything beyond your boundary. Newer estates in Wootton, Weston Favell and Moulton usually have drives and gardens; three to five ColorVu cameras give colour footage after dark. HiLook is Hikvision's own value range, sold direct to homeowners. See the HiLook buying guide.
Logistics and commercial sites
Northampton has a large logistics and distribution sector, with big fenced sites and busy gates. For these:
A PTZ camera (pan, tilt, zoom) for overview, plus fixed 8MP bullets on gates, gatehouses and dock doors.
AcuSense cameras so alerts are triggered by people and vehicles, not weather or wildlife.
PoE switches and fibre or long-range network links for cameras far from the recorder. Send us your distances.
Longer retention and larger drives. Many sites need more than the default.
Offices and shops need door, reception and till cameras, often with access control on staff doors.
Alarms and integration
We supply intruder alarms including Ajax and Hikvision AX PRO wireless systems, plus Texecom, Pyronix and Honeywell for wired and hybrid installs. With Hikvision, the Hik-Connect app can manage your cameras, AX PRO alarm and access control from one place.
Which brand?
We're an authorised Hikvision partner and an approved HiLook distributor, and we also stock Dahua. Hikvision is mainly sold to trade, with prices shown to trade account holders. HiLook is simpler, lower priced and open to everyone. The Dahua buying guide covers that range.

Trade installers in Northamptonshire
Installers and electricians can open a trade account for trade prices, delivery to site and technical help by phone.
Before you order
Mark the camera positions on a sketch or photo, measure roughly how far each one is from the recorder, and note whether there is Wi-Fi coverage at the spots you're thinking of using wireless cameras. Send it over or call us, and we'll check the cameras, recorder channels, cable lengths and storage before you buy, so the system works first time.
Frequently asked questions
Are wireless CCTV cameras a good idea in Northampton homes?
They can be, where running cable is difficult. Wi-Fi cameras still need a power socket and a strong Wi-Fi signal at the camera position, and wired PoE cameras are more reliable for recording around the clock. Many systems mix both: wired where it is easy, Wi-Fi where it is not.
Do you install CCTV or alarms in Northampton?
No. We are a supplier with a showroom and trade counter in Wolverhampton, not an installer, and we do not do installs or call-outs. We help you choose the equipment and support it, and depending on your requirements may be able to recommend a trade installer.
Do you sell Ajax and Hikvision AX PRO alarms?
Yes. We supply Ajax and Hikvision AX PRO wireless alarms as well as Texecom, Pyronix and Honeywell. AX PRO can be managed in the Hik-Connect app alongside Hikvision cameras and access control.
How quickly can you deliver to Northampton?
