Ranked 3 of 10 in CCTV installers in Telford
Best for: alarm and cctv cover with police-response options

Trading as ARCHER SECURITY LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Archer Security in short
Archer Security is a Halesfield firm fitting CCTV alongside alarms, access control, electric gates and door entry across Telford and the wider county. Its standout is range: alarm systems with police-response options from one contractor, backed by a live limited company record. Customer reviews read strongly, at four point nine out of five on Google.
What counts against Archer Security is the paperwork gap: no insurance detail and no prices on its pages, and its SSAIB certification is stated without a registration number alongside. Our view is that it suits homes and small firms wanting alarms and cameras designed as one system. It suits a single-contractor brief where the panel, the cameras and the gates must work together.
Our verdict
Our verdict: Archer suits you if you want an established Telford firm for CCTV alongside alarms or gates, backed by a live company record and round-the-clock phone contact [1] [3]. The Google record reads 4.9 out of 5 from 52 reviews [4]. What counts against it is the paperwork gap: insurance and prices are not published, and the SSAIB claim carries no registration number [1] [2].
