CCTV across Loughton
We design and install CCTV in Loughton for homeowners, landlords and businesses, along with intruder alarms, access control, gate control and door entry. Our team has over 20 years of combined experience in the security industry.
Every system starts with a conversation with one of our engineers about what you want to protect. We then plan each camera around how people and vehicles approach your property and how dark it gets after sunset, which next to the forest can be very dark indeed.
CCTV repairs in Loughton
If your cameras in Loughton 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Forest-edge homes and driveways
Many Loughton homes, particularly near the forest, are larger houses with driveways, cars and gardens that back onto woodland or open land. We design systems covering the front door, the drive and cars, both sides of the house and the garden, using 4K cameras with strong night vision. Gardens backing onto the forest need cameras with built-in lights or powerful infrared so you see detail, not just shadows.
CCTV worries we solve in Loughton
Parcels going missing
- Likely cause
- No camera covering the front door and the path to it.
- How we fix it
- A camera or video doorbell aimed at the door, with phone alerts.
Worried about the car on the drive
- Likely cause
- Cameras that don't cover the car or don't see clearly at night.
- How we fix it
- A camera placed to cover the car and its approach, with strong night vision.
Garden backs onto fields or woods
- Likely cause
- A dark rear boundary that can't be seen from the house.

Can't read number plates at night

Cameras on a listed building

Commuters
With the Central line into London, many residents are out all day. The phone app lets you check deliveries and callers from the office or the train, with alerts when someone comes onto the drive.
Flats and High Road businesses
For blocks of flats we cover entrances, bin stores and car parks without recording into private homes. For shops and businesses along the High Road and at Debden Broadway, we cover entrances, tills and stock rooms, with footage you can export quickly.
