The cameras we fit in Gillingham
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.
- Varifocal
- The engineer adjusts the lens on site to frame a face at the gate or a number plate far down the drive.
- 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.
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 Gillingham
Every camera plan begins at the gate, the path and the door, the routes a visitor or intruder would take. These are the Gillingham properties we fit cameras to most.
Terraced houses in Gillingham
One camera on the front door and one on the back yard or alley, angled so the neighbours’ windows stay out of the picture.
Period homes in Gillingham
Small, neutral-coloured cameras fixed along existing lines on old brick, plus a video doorbell that suits a traditional front door.
Family homes in Gillingham
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 Gillingham
Doors, tills and stockrooms covered, with signage and recording set up to meet data protection rules for a business.

Gates, long drives and outbuildings covered in colour at night, and a plate-reading camera on the way in if you want vehicles logged.

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 Gillingham?
We repair and upgrade systems whoever fitted them. Tap the problem to see what usually causes it in Gillingham 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.
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.
Common Gillingham repairs include cameras that glow white at night and apps that stopped connecting. Our engineers find the cause and fix it.
Gillingham CCTV questions
Do you fit CCTV across Gillingham?
Yes, homes and businesses all over Gillingham, including Gillingham town, Brompton, Hempstead and Wigmore, Brompton and Hempstead.
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 Gillingham as well as fit it?
Yes. Repairs are a big part of our Gillingham 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.
