How to choose a CCTV system for your home or business in Kenya

Start with what you need to protect

List the areas that matter: gate, driveway, doors, shop counter, stores and perimeter. This tells you how many cameras you need and where they should face.

Pick the camera type

• Dome cameras suit entrances and indoor areas.
• Bullet cameras suit outdoor walls and long views.
• PTZ cameras can pan and zoom to cover large compounds.
• Solar and Wi-Fi cameras help where there is no mains power or cabling.

Resolution and night vision

Higher resolution gives clearer faces and number plates. Check the night vision range for dark compounds.

Recorder and storage

A DVR or NVR records the cameras. Choose a hard drive size that keeps the days of footage you want. More cameras and higher resolution need more storage.

Power backup and remote viewing

A UPS or battery keeps recording during power cuts. Set up phone viewing so you can check your property from anywhere.

Get it installed properly

Poor cabling and wrong camera angles cause most CCTV problems. Book a site visit and our technicians will inspect your property and give you an accurate quote.
