Spread the cost of a CCTV system from £1,500 to £80,000+ with flexible finance options: HP, lease or refinance.
Yes, cctv systems are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £1,500 to £80,000, and most deals are written over 24–48 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

CCTV cameras, recorders and cabling qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase. Lease payments are deductible in full as they are paid. If the system includes a cloud video storage or remote monitoring subscription, that portion is a running cost and is not normally included in the finance agreement.
The typical buyer is a retailer, warehouse, office or licensed premises installing or upgrading CCTV coverage, often prompted by an insurance requirement, a licensing condition, or cameras that have fallen below current resolution and low-light performance standards. Installation and cabling frequently account for a large share of the total project cost on anything beyond a small handful of cameras, particularly where cameras need power and network cabling run through an existing building, so it's worth pricing hardware and labour separately when comparing installer quotes. Camera and recorder technology has improved steadily, with better low-light performance and on-camera analytics becoming standard, which is a common reason businesses replace a system before the original hardware has actually failed.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
