CCTV installation & repair in Grays

If your cameras in Grays 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Older systems can often be brought up to date in stages: a new recorder first, then cameras as budget allows, using the cable already in the walls. Every repair finishes with a check of each camera by day and after dark, and a test playback from your phone.

Much of our Grays work is in blocks of flats. Communal doors, lobbies, lifts, bin rooms and bike stores need watching, without cameras looking into anyone's flat or balcony. We mask each camera's view to communal areas only, put up the right signage and can tie CCTV into video door entry so residents see who they're buzzing in.

On the estates, a typical system covers the parking space, front door, side gate and garden. Chafford Hundred's layouts often put parking in a court behind the house, so the rear camera does more work than usual. Recordings stay on a box in your home, with no monthly fee.
