CCTV installers and repair engineers in Dover
Dover has terraces in the valley, homes on the cliffs and businesses around the port. Our CCTV engineers fit weatherproof cameras that cope with sea air and wind.
Businesses near the port often want yards and vehicle entrances covered, with number-plate cameras at the gate.
Dover CCTV covers terraces in the town, homes in River and Whitfield and cliff-top homes at St Margaret’s. Repairs often involve cameras damaged by wind and salt.
The cameras we fit in Dover
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.
- Dome
- Low profile and hard to tamper with. Suits porches, ceilings, shop floors and shared hallways in blocks of flats.
- Bullet
- Obvious on purpose, which puts people off. Reaches further down a long drive, a yard or a car park.
- 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 Dover
Every camera plan begins at the gate, the path and the door, the routes a visitor or intruder would take. These are the Dover properties we fit cameras to most.
Terraced houses in Dover
One camera on the front door and one on the back yard or alley, angled so the neighbours’ windows stay out of the picture.
Seafront homes and holiday lets in Dover
Weatherproof cameras with sealed connections for the salt air, and remote viewing for owners who are not on site.
Blocks of flats in Dover
Cameras on the entrance, bin store and bike shed, with footage the managing agent can reach and residents’ windows kept out of shot.
Shops and businesses in Dover
Doors, tills and stockrooms covered, with signage and recording set up to meet data protection rules for a business.
Family homes in Dover
Front door, drive and side gate covered, so your mobile pings the moment anyone approaches the house, and the clip is kept for you.
Large houses with drives in Dover
Gates, long drives and outbuildings covered in colour at night, and a plate-reading camera on the way in if you want vehicles logged.
CCTV cameras playing up in Dover?
We repair and upgrade systems whoever fitted them. Tap the problem to see what usually causes it in Dover homes and businesses.
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.
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.
Salt air is the main cause of CCTV faults in Dover. Our engineers replace corroded connectors and cameras, and use sealed fittings that last longer.
Dover CCTV questions
Do you fit CCTV across Dover?
Yes, homes and businesses all over Dover, including Dover town, Tower Hamlets and Maxton, River and Whitfield, St Margaret's at Cliffe, River, Whitfield and St Margaret's.
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.
Is it all right if a camera sees the pavement?
Filming past your boundary is allowed, but it brings data protection duties with it. Each view gets pointed, and where needed blanked out in the software, so it stays on your land, and we talk you through the rules where a bit of street can’t be helped.
My cameras were put in by another firm. Can you help?
Usually. Most recorders and cameras can be repaired, given extra cameras or moved onto a newer app, whichever installer left them.
Do you repair CCTV in Dover as well as fit it?
Yes. Repairs are a big part of our Dover 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.
