Alarm-linked monitoring Cameras work alongside intruder alarms so every alarm can be checked visually. See our alarm response services High-value sites that need verified response

Security Camera Types We Install

Choosing the right camera for each position is what separates a useful CCTV system from an expensive decoration. We match every camera to its job, which is the foundation of effective CCTV monitoring in Kenya:

    Discreet, vandal-resistant cameras for ceilings in receptions, shops, corridors and offices.

  • Bullet cameras

    Visible, weatherproof cameras for gates, perimeter walls, driveways and parking areas.

  • IP cameras

    High-resolution network cameras with sharp detail, remote access and easy expansion.

  • PTZ cameras

    Pan-tilt-zoom cameras that an operator can move to follow activity across large sites.

  • Night vision and colour-at-night

    Infrared and low-light cameras that capture clear footage after dark.

  • Number plate cameras

    Cameras set up to capture vehicle plates at gates and car parks. [Confirm if offered.]

Every project for CCTV monitoring in Kenya follows the same proven installation process:

  1. Free site survey: we inspect your property, discuss your concerns and mark the best camera positions.
  2. System design and quote: a written quote listing every camera, recorder, cable run and power backup item.

Keeping Your CCTV Running Through Power Outages

Power interruptions are a real risk to surveillance in Kenya. A system that switches off during a blackout leaves you blind at the worst moment. We protect your recording with:

  • UPS backup

    Uninterruptible power supplies keep cameras and recorders running through short outages.

  • Inverter and solar options

    Longer backup for sites with frequent or extended power cuts. [Confirm if offered.]

  • Surge protection

    Protects cameras and recorders from damage when power returns.

  • Health alerts

    Notifications when a camera goes offline or storage has a problem.

CCTV Maintenance Plan

Dust, weather, spiders and loose connections slowly degrade any CCTV system. Regular maintenance keeps your footage clear and your CCTV monitoring in Kenya reliable:

Task What we check Suggested frequency
Camera cleaning Lenses, housings and infrared panels Every 3 months
Angle and focus check Camera views still cover the intended areas Every 3 months
Recorder and storage health Hard drive condition, recording schedule and retention period Every 3 months
Power and cabling UPS batteries, power supplies, connectors and cable damage Every 6 months
Software and firmware Updates, passwords and remote access security Every 6 months

CCTV and Data Protection in Kenya

CCTV footage of people is personal data. Under Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019, businesses and institutions using CCTV should tell people they are being recorded, use footage only for security purposes and keep it secure. As part of our CCTV monitoring in Kenya, we help you:

  1. Display clear CCTV signage at entrances and monitored areas.
  2. Point cameras responsibly, avoiding neighbours’ private spaces and sensitive areas such as washrooms.
  3. Protect access with strong passwords and limited user accounts.
  4. Set sensible retention periods so footage is kept only as long as needed.

This is general guidance, not legal advice. For your specific obligations, check with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner or a legal adviser.

Frequently Asked Questions About CCTV Monitoring in Kenya

What is CCTV monitoring?

CCTV monitoring in Kenya means someone actively watches or reviews camera footage so incidents are spotted and acted on. It can be done by you on your phone, by an on-site guard, or by trained operators, depending on the plan you choose.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Kenya?

The cost depends on the number and type of cameras, cable distances, recording storage and power backup. After a free site survey, we give you a fixed written quote with every item listed.

Can I watch my CCTV cameras on my phone?

Yes. We set up the mobile app during handover so you can view live and recorded footage from anywhere with an internet connection.

How long is CCTV footage stored?

Storage time depends on the number of cameras, resolution, recording mode and hard drive size. We size your storage to keep footage for the period you need, and recording can be set to motion-only to extend it.

Do the cameras work at night and during power cuts?

Yes. We install night vision cameras and can add UPS or other backup power so recording continues during outages.

How many CCTV cameras does my home or business need?

Most homes need 4 to 8 cameras to cover the gate, doors, walls and parking. Businesses vary widely. Our free site survey tells you exactly how many cameras cover every risk area.

Do you repair or upgrade CCTV systems installed by others?

Yes. We service, repair and upgrade existing systems, including converting older analogue setups to HD or IP cameras. [Confirm.]

Do I need CCTV signs on my property?

For businesses and institutions, clear CCTV signage is good practice under Kenya’s data protection rules and also helps deter crime. We can advise on signage when we install your system.
