CCTV Repairs and Upgrades in London

Fixing faulty CCTV and upgrading old analogue or blurry systems to sharp HD and 4K IP cameras, with secure phone viewing.

CCTV repair London

CCTV repairs and upgrades for existing systems

In short: we diagnose the fault, repair what is worth repairing and recommend upgrades only where they make a real difference to picture quality, reliability or security.

Cameras go offline, hard drives fill up or fail, night footage turns grey and apps stop connecting. Many of these faults are simple to fix; others are signs that an old system has reached the end of its life.

We repair and upgrade CCTV systems installed by other companies as well as our own. Where an upgrade makes sense, we can often reuse existing cable runs, replacing analogue cameras with HD models or moving to an IP system with PoE.
