CCTV installers and repair engineers in Rochester
Rochester’s historic High Street needs discreet cameras on old buildings, while homes in Strood and the Hoo peninsula want doors and drives covered.
Shops and restaurants want doors and tills covered, with signs and recording set up properly.
Rochester CCTV covers historic homes, terraces in Strood and new homes on the Hoo peninsula. Repairs often involve older systems needing an HD upgrade.
The cameras we fit in Rochester
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.
- 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 Rochester
Every camera plan begins at the gate, the path and the door, the routes a visitor or intruder would take. These are the Rochester properties we fit cameras to most.
Period homes in Rochester
Small, neutral-coloured cameras fixed along existing lines on old brick, plus a video doorbell that suits a traditional front door.
Terraced houses in Rochester
One camera on the front door and one on the back yard or alley, angled so the neighbours’ windows stay out of the picture.
Family homes in Rochester
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 Rochester
Doors, tills and stockrooms covered, with signage and recording set up to meet data protection rules for a business.
Large houses with drives in Rochester
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 Rochester
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 Rochester?
We repair and upgrade systems whoever fitted them. Tap the problem to see what usually causes it in Rochester 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.
Rochester repairs often involve older systems on period buildings. Our engineers reuse existing cable to fit HD cameras.
Rochester CCTV questions
Do you fit CCTV across Rochester?
Yes, homes and businesses all over Rochester, including Rochester High Street, Borstal, Strood and Frindsbury, Hoo peninsula, Strood and Hoo.
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.
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 Rochester as well as fit it?
Yes. Repairs are a big part of our Rochester 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.
