CCTV upgrades & replacements

Improve coverage, picture quality or access without replacing equipment that still suits the job.

Start with what you already have

An upgrade begins with an assessment of your cameras, recorder, power supplies, cable condition and network. We look at the original coverage and what is no longer working for you.

Blurry night footage, unreliable playback or an unsupported app can have different causes. Identifying the problem first helps avoid replacing the wrong part.

Reuse where it makes sense

Existing equipment may be reusable if it is compatible, in good condition and capable of the required performance. An analogue system and an IP system do not necessarily share the same cabling or recorder requirements.

We explain what can remain, what needs changing and any limitations. We do not assume that every new camera will work with an existing recorder.

Better views, not just more pixels

A carefully positioned camera or a different lens can be more valuable than a resolution increase alone. Lighting, reflections and mounting angles are reviewed alongside the equipment.

Keep useful recording capacity

Higher image detail can increase storage and bandwidth needs. Recorder capacity and retention settings are checked so an upgrade does not unexpectedly reduce the available recording history.

What affects the quotation?

The condition of the installation, compatibility, access to cameras and the extent of recabling determine the work. Share equipment details or describe the issue when requesting your quote.

Questions about this service

Can you upgrade an existing CCTV system?

We can assess your current cameras, cabling, recorder and network. Where equipment is suitable and compatible, it may be reused. The survey identifies what can stay and what needs replacing.

How much does CCTV installation cost?

The price depends on the number of cameras, the detail you need to capture, cable routes, access equipment and recording storage. A survey lets us give you a clear, property-specific quote rather than an unsuitable off-the-shelf price.

Can I view my cameras from my phone?

Yes. A compatible recorder and an internet connection can provide remote viewing through a phone or tablet app. We configure access securely and show you how to use live view and playback.
