UK CCTV Risk Checker
Real police crime data + a CCTV system built for your home
Instant official UK police crime risk report and interactive CCTV system NVR storage calculator for any UK postcode. Developed by Gary Pearce (garypearce.co.uk) for cctv.services.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Gary — I install CCTV and home security systems across Yorkshire, UK, and I built this because I was tired of the two bad options homeowners get when they're deciding whether they actually need security cameras:
1. Vague marketing pages saying "crime is rising, buy now"
2. National retailers pushing a generic package with no idea what your area, or your house, actually needs
So I built something that starts with real numbers instead. Enter your postcode and it pulls live crime data straight from data.police.uk (the UK government's own police API) — actual reported burglary, robbery, theft and vehicle crime within a mile of that address, not a national average or a sales estimate.
From there it moves into a calculator: tell it your property type and it recommends a camera count, resolution, and NVR storage setup that actually matches your home, rather than a one-size-fits-all bundle.
A few things I made sure of:
→ No sign-up, no email capture — just useful straight away
→ Free to embed on your own site if you're in the industry or run a local blog, it's a single iframe
→ Built on official public data, not scraped estimates
Would genuinely love feedback, especially from anyone in security, property, or insurance who can tell me what's missing. And if your town isn't showing what you expected, that's the police data itself, not the tool guessing.
