CCTV installation & repair in Felixstowe

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 Felixstowe. 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.

• 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.

• Picture foggy, blurred or full of water

  Likely cause

  A perished seal letting condensation in, or a camera that was never rated for outdoors.

  How we fix it

  Reseal or replace with an IP66 camera and a weatherproof junction box.

• Recorder beeping or showing errors

  Likely cause

  Disk errors, overheating in a cupboard, or a network clash.

  How we fix it

  Diagnose the error, replace failed parts and give the recorder space to stay cool.

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.

For family homes in Walton, Old Felixstowe and the Trimleys, two to four cameras usually cover the front door, driveway, side gate and garden. We use 4K cameras with clear night vision, record on a box in your home with no monthly fee, and set up alerts on your phone. On seafront homes we choose cameras built for salt air and wind, with sealed connections and stainless fixings, so the system lasts.

Felixstowe's port supports a huge number of haulage yards, container depots, warehouses and offices around the town and along the A14. These sites need cameras covering perimeters, gates, yards, loading bays and vehicle movements, often across large, floodlit areas. We design systems with long-range night vision, cameras placed where vehicles slow down, and storage planned around how long you need to keep footage. CCTV can be linked with access control for gates and staff doors.
