CCTV installation & repair in Buckhurst Hill

If your cameras in Buckhurst Hill have stopped recording, lost their night vision or disappeared from your phone, we fix them. We work on any brand of camera and recorder, whoever installed it, and talk you through the likely cause and cost on the phone before we visit.

• Cameras won't show on your phone

  Likely cause

  A new router, an app update or a changed password has broken remote viewing.

  How we fix it

  Reconnect the recorder, update its firmware and set the app up on every phone.

• Night vision has stopped working

  Likely cause

  Failed infrared LEDs, a cobweb reflecting the light, or a camera looking through glass.

  How we fix it

  Clean, reposition or replace the camera and check the picture after dark.

• Wrong time and date on recordings

  Likely cause

  The clock reset after a power cut, so footage is hard to use as evidence.

  How we fix it

  Set automatic time sync and check every camera stamps the right time.

• Recorder has stopped recording

  Likely cause

  A failed or full hard drive, or recording settings lost after a power cut.

  How we fix it

  Test the drive, replace it if needed and set recording and overwrite properly.

We'd rather fix a system than replace it. If a camera or recorder has reached the end of its life, we'll say so and quote for that part alone, reusing existing cable where it's sound. We also offer regular servicing to catch failing drives and cameras early.

Where gardens meet Epping Forest, the back boundary is often the weak point and it's completely dark at night. We cover it with cameras that have built-in lights or strong infrared, and set the motion zone along the fence so deer and foxes on the lawn don't flood your phone with alerts.

On larger plots, we cover the gate or drive entrance, the cars, both side returns and the garden. The drive camera goes where cars slow to turn in, so you get a readable plate rather than a blur.
