The cameras we fit in Chatham
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.
- Turret
- A short, rounded camera with a wide view and good infrared. Our first pick for most houses, as there’s no dome to catch reflections at night.
- 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 Chatham
Every camera plan begins at the gate, the path and the door, the routes a visitor or intruder would take. These are the Chatham properties we fit cameras to most.
Terraced houses in Chatham
One camera on the front door and one on the back yard or alley, angled so the neighbours’ windows stay out of the picture.
Blocks of flats in Chatham
Cameras on the entrance, bin store and bike shed, with footage the managing agent can reach and residents’ windows kept out of shot.
Family homes in Chatham
Front door, drive and side gate covered, so your mobile pings the moment anyone approaches the house, and the clip is kept for you.
Shops and businesses in Chatham
Doors, tills and stockrooms covered, with signage and recording set up to meet data protection rules for a business.
Large houses with drives in Chatham
Gates, long drives and outbuildings covered in colour at night, and a plate-reading camera on the way in if you want vehicles logged.
Farms, yards and rural sites in Chatham
Yards, barns and field gates linked back to the house by buried cable or a point-to-point radio link, with night vision for ground that has no street lights.
CCTV cameras playing up in Chatham?
We repair and upgrade systems whoever fitted them. Tap the problem to see what usually causes it in Chatham 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 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.
One camera keeps dropping out
- Likely cause
- Water in an outdoor joint that was never sealed, or cable damaged by weather or animals.
- What our engineer does
- Reseal or replace the joint or cable, or switch that camera to a wireless link.
An old system with grainy pictures
- Likely cause
- Analogue cameras from years ago. The cable is often still fine.
- What our engineer does
- Reuse your existing cable to fit HD cameras and a new recorder, without a full rewire.
Wind on Chatham’s exposed hills can knock cameras off aim. Our engineers refix them on stronger brackets and re-aim them so the view stays where it should be.
Chatham CCTV questions
Do you fit CCTV across Chatham?
Yes, homes and businesses all over Chatham, including Luton and the hill, Walderslade and Lordswood, Walderslade and Lordswood.
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 Chatham as well as fit it?
Yes. Repairs are a big part of our Chatham 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.
