Good pictures are not the only things that can get taken when you own an expensive camera. Thieves look to target valuable equipment such as cameras, laptops, mobile phones and other portable equipment that you use as much out of the house as you do at home.
Simple security steps will help reduce the risk, such as keeping your camera out of sight and in a bag when not in use and writing down serial numbers to help identify your camera if it is stolen or lost. You should also make sure you are properly insured. Hiscox Home Insurance automatically provides camera insurance and there is no need to list items individually.
Why you might need to consider camera insurance
- Cameras and other similar, highly portable items are vulnerable to theft and accidental damage
- The total value of many items such as digital cameras and mobile phones may be far higher than you think
- Your existing home insurance may not provide adequate cover.
How Hiscox Home Insurance automatically provides camera insurance
- Cameras and other valuable photographic equipment are automatically covered under a Hiscox Home Insurance policy (as long as the total amount insured for contents covers them)
- Worldwide cover for theft, loss and damage of your camera equipment and accessories when you take them away from home temporarily – great for holiday cover

- We automatically include cover for your camera if it is accidentally damaged or lost.
If the unfortunate should happen and you suffer a loss, our knowledgeable and efficient UK-based claims team will quickly be on the case.
So why buy separate camera insurance when a Hiscox Home Insurance contents policy will automatically cover your camera both at home and on your travels?
