Hi there! I’m Kevin Elliott, the owner of i-Spy CCTV. If you’re living or running a business in the beautiful market town of Thornbury, you already know what a fantastic place this is. From the stunning historic architecture of Thornbury Castle to the bustling community spirit at the Mundy Playing Fields, there’s a lot to love: and a lot worth protecting.
At i-Spy CCTV, we’re not just another national franchise. We’re local experts who understand the specific security needs of South Gloucestershire residents. Whether you’re looking to protect a period property near the High Street or a modern family home in a newer development, we provide bespoke security solutions that offer total peace of mind.
Crime & Security in Thornbury
Thornbury is widely regarded as a safe and pleasant place to live, but being a historic and relatively affluent town makes it a target for opportunistic crime. While we don't see the high crime volumes of central Bristol, local statistics often highlight concerns regarding domestic burglary and vehicle theft.
Criminals often target areas where they believe security might be "old school" or non-existent. We’ve seen a trend where thieves scout properties near landmarks like St Mary’s Church or the open spaces around the Mundy Playing Fields, looking for easy access points.
Our goal is to ensure that your home doesn't become a statistic. By installing cutting-edge CCTV and robust alarm systems, you create a visible deterrent that makes intruders think twice. In our experience, a well-placed camera from i-Spy CCTV is often enough to send a potential burglar looking for an easier target elsewhere.

Our Bespoke Security Services
We offer a comprehensive range of security services designed to wrap your property in a "digital blanket" of safety. From simple home setups to complex commercial grids, we handle it all.
1. Home CCTV Installation
Your home is your sanctuary. Our home installation services focus on providing high-definition clarity that allows you to monitor your property from anywhere in the world. We specialize in NVR IP camera systems, which offer superior resolution and reliability compared to older analog setups.
2. Smart Burglar Alarms
A camera shows you what happened; an alarm tells you what is happening. Our alarm installations are designed to integrate seamlessly with your lifestyle. You can arm or disarm your system via your smartphone, receiving instant alerts the moment a sensor is triggered.
3. Business Security Solutions
For the independent shops on Thornbury High Street or the industrial units on the outskirts, we offer business-grade installations. These systems are designed for high-traffic areas and offer robust protection for your stock, staff, and premises.
4. Specialist Networking
In the modern age, security is only as good as your internet connection. We provide home and business networking services to ensure your cameras stay online and your footage is backed up securely in the cloud or on a local NVR.
The Power of NVR IP Camera Systems
If you’ve been looking into security, you’ve probably heard the term NVR IP camera systems. But what does that actually mean for you?
In simple terms, an NVR (Network Video Recorder) system uses digital cameras that send data over a network cable. This is a massive step up from old CCTV. Here’s why it’s a game-changer for Thornbury homeowners:
- Breathtaking Clarity: You get 4K or even 8K resolution. This means if something does happen, you can actually identify faces and license plates.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): Only one cable is needed for both power and data, making for a seamless and tidy installation.
- Remote Access: You can check your cameras on your phone while you’re enjoying a meal at the Swan or even while you’re on holiday abroad.
- Future-Proof: These systems are easily expandable. If you decide to add a camera to the back garden or the garage later on, it’s a straightforward process.
Maintaining these systems is just as important as the initial install, which is why we offer comprehensive maintenance packages to keep everything running smoothly.
Our Meticulous 4-Step Process
We’ve refined our process to make securing your home as easy and stress-free as possible.
- Consultation: We start with a friendly chat to understand your concerns. Is it the side gate? The driveway? The shop front?
- Bespoke Design: We don’t believe in "one size fits all." We design a system specifically for your property’s layout and your budget.
- Professional Installation: Our team carries out a clean, efficient installation. We hide the wires, calibrate the angles, and ensure the software is updated.
- Training & Support: We won’t leave until you’re 100% comfortable using the system. We’ll show you how to view footage, set alerts, and manage the app.
