The cameras we fit in Caterham
No single camera suits every wall. Every camera is chosen for its own spot, then record them all on one recorder in your home or premises.
- Colour night vision
- Uses a little light to record in colour after dark, so you can tell a red coat from a blue one.
- Smart alerts
- The camera tells people and vehicles apart from foxes, rain and swaying branches, so your phone only buzzes when it matters.
- Pan, tilt and zoom
- Swings round to track movement over wide open ground, and you can steer it yourself from the app.
- Number plate cameras
- Read plates at the entrance to a business site or private car park, even at night.
Resolution runs from 4MP to 4K, matched to the job, all recorded on a network video recorder (NVR) with viewing on your phone set up as standard.
The properties we protect in Caterham
Every camera plan begins at the gate, the path and the door, the routes a visitor or intruder would take. These are the Caterham properties we fit cameras to most.
Period homes in Caterham
Small, neutral-coloured cameras fixed along existing lines on old brick, plus a video doorbell that suits a traditional front door.

Front door, drive and side gate covered, so your mobile pings the moment anyone approaches the house, and the clip is kept for you.

Doors, tills and stockrooms covered, with signage and recording set up to meet data protection rules for a business.

CCTV cameras playing up in Caterham?
We repair and upgrade systems whoever fitted them. Tap the problem to see what usually causes it in Caterham homes and businesses.
Some cameras show a black screen
- Likely cause
- One power supply or network switch has failed and taken a group of cameras down with it.
- What our engineer does
- We test each feed, replace the failed unit and check every camera comes back.
The picture goes white or misty at night
- Likely cause
- Cobwebs or a dirty cover reflecting the infrared, or an infrared lamp that has burnt out.
- What our engineer does
- Clean, reseal or swap the camera, then check the view after dark before we leave.
Nothing was recorded when you needed it
- Likely cause
- A full or worn-out hard drive, or settings lost after a power cut.
- What our engineer does
- Fit a new drive, set recording and retention, and switch on a health alert.
The app won’t connect any more
- Likely cause
- Usually a new broadband router has changed the network the recorder relies on.
- What our engineer does
- Reconnect the recorder, update it, and test viewing on mobile data from outside.
Caterham repairs often involve cameras on steep plots that have been knocked off aim by wind. Our engineers refix them and re-aim the view.
Caterham CCTV questions
Do you fit CCTV across Caterham?
Yes, homes and businesses all over Caterham, including Caterham on the Hill, Caterham Valley, Whyteleafe and Woldingham.
How many cameras does a house need?
Two to four covers most houses: the front door, the drive, any side path and the back garden. The planner above gives you a feel for your own.
Is there an app for the cameras?
There is. Before our engineer packs up, the viewing app goes onto your mobile and any family mobiles you name, and you get a quick lesson in rewinding footage and saving a clip for the police or insurer.
Do you repair CCTV in Caterham as well as fit it?
Yes. Repairs are a big part of our Caterham work: dead cameras, recorders that have stopped saving, night pictures gone white and apps that won’t connect. We find the failed part and fix that rather than selling you a new system.
Can my old analogue cameras be upgraded without rewiring?
Often, yes. The existing coaxial cable can usually carry modern HD pictures with the right cameras and recorder, which saves lifting floors or chasing walls.
How long is footage kept?
As long as the recorder’s storage allows, typically a few weeks for a home system. Businesses should set a fixed period and delete after it, and we set that up for you.
