CCTV repairs in Ely
Cameras that have gone offline, a recorder that has stopped recording or an app that won't connect are some of the most common calls we get from Ely. We repair and service CCTV of any make, including systems fitted by other installers, and can usually tell you on the phone whether it sounds like a repair or a replacement.
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.
Old system too poor to identify anyone
- Likely cause
- Ageing analogue cameras and a recorder near the end of its life.
- How we fix it
- Upgrade cameras and recorder, reusing good existing cable where we can.
A camera's been knocked or damaged
- Likely cause
- Weather, a ladder or deliberate tampering has moved or broken it.
- How we fix it
- Realign or replace it with a tougher vandal-resistant model.
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.
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.

Period homes
On listed and period buildings, cameras need to protect the property without spoiling it. We use small cameras in neutral colours, fix them into mortar joints rather than old brick or stone, and route cable through lofts and behind downpipes.

Riverside properties
Homes and businesses near the Great Ouse and the marina often have gardens and moorings that are dark and reachable from the towpath. We cover them with weatherproof cameras that have built-in lights, with motion zones set to the boundary.
City centre businesses
For shops, cafés and offices around the market place and Fore Hill, we cover doors, tills and stock rooms discreetly, with footage that stays on site and is quick to export.
Homes on the newer estates
On the estates around the edge of the city, a typical system covers the front door, the car, the side gate and the garden, with cables run through the loft. Recordings stay on a box in your home with no monthly fee.
