Overhead Security: the story

I'm Fred. I started Overhead Security in 2026 to fit and fix CCTV, video doorbells and Wi-Fi networks across Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Bedfordshire.

I previously worked as a communications engineer for many different contractors in the industry, so I have years of experience in running cables, Wi-Fi and networking. In the field I've seen it all: dodgy runs, cables everywhere and some very unsightly work, in both Wi-Fi installs and CCTV jobs.

I pride myself on my work and I will never cut a corner to save time. I enjoy what I do, and my main priority is making sure the customer is happy with what's been completed. As this business grows, this page will grow with stories and new faces.

How I work

Working notesOverhead Security · Royston

N1A free survey first
We come round for free at a time that suits you. We listen to what you want and how you want it done, then talk through how we think it can be achieved and any changes that are needed.
N2A drawing before drilling
You get a plan: each camera, what it sees, what is masked, where the cables go, and a written quote.
N3Tidy fitting day
Cables go through the loft, cavities and soffits. Holes are sealed, and any mess is tidied.
N4A proper handover
The UniFi Protect app goes on your phones. I show you how to find footage, save a clip and check every camera is recording.
N5One system, known properly
We fit one camera system and know it inside out. Your footage stays within your local system, there's no monthly fee, and the app is very easy to get used to.
N6Ten years on our work
If something we fitted comes loose or stops working because of how we fitted it, we come back and put it right, free, for ten years. This doesn't affect your statutory rights.
