What to know about CCTV
CCTV, short for closed-circuit television, means a set of cameras cabled to a recorder that stores footage on site, rather than separate cameras that each report to an app. In most homes today that recorder is a network video recorder (NVR) with its own hard drives, and each camera connects to it by a single network cable that carries both video and power, known as Power over Ethernet (PoE). It suits owners who want every entrance recorded around the clock, larger lots, duplexes and triplexes, and properties with a detached garage or workshop.

No permit page published by West Vancouver itself has been verified for this site, so what is below is what applies in British Columbia. If CCTV needs a permit, ask who is pulling it and whether it is in the price.
Our British Columbia guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.

- Wired or wireless installation
- Monitoring and subscription fees
- Running cables through finished walls or ceilings
- Size and layout of the home
- Integration with other smart home or network equipment
How to choose CCTV installers in West Vancouver
- Choose an installer who looks at your home in person and explains where cameras, sensors or access points should go.
- Ask whether monitoring is included, whether it's optional and what the contract length and cancellation terms are.
- Find out whether you'll own the equipment or lease it, and whether it works with other systems.
- For hardwired systems, make sure any electrical work is done by a licensed electrician.
- Ask how they'll set up passwords, apps and network security, and make sure you get the admin access.
Questions to ask CCTV installers before you hire
- Will I own the equipment, or is it leased or tied to a contract?
- Is monitoring required, and what are the cancellation terms?
- Where will the cameras point, and will they capture my neighbours' property?
- Who will have access to the video and the account?
- Will this work with my existing Wi-Fi, locks or smart home devices?
- What warranty covers the equipment and the installation?
CCTV permits in British Columbia
Some CCTV work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common CCTV questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
