Security Camera Repairs and System Upgrades
If your current cameras are malfunctioning, disconnected, or showing poor video quality, we offer professional CCTV repair for most makes and models—even those we didn’t originally install. Our technicians diagnose problems with cabling, power, network connections, and software.
Outdated or incomplete setups can also be upgraded. We help customers expand coverage by adding newer cameras, improving resolution, or integrating with smart home automation tools. Whether you need more coverage or better performance, we make it simple to enhance your home security system without starting over.

FAQs About CCTV and Security Camera Systems
What is the benefit of a professionally installed system over DIY systems?
A professionally installed system ensures correct camera placement, secure wiring, and smooth smart home integration. Compared to DIY systems, a professional installation reduces the risk of false alarms, avoids configuration errors, and supports advanced features like motion sensors, entry sensors, and centralized access through a touchscreen control panel.
Can your security systems integrate with Alexa or Google Assistant?
Yes. Our home security systems are compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, giving you voice control and access to custom routines. This smart home automation capability allows you to arm your alarm system, view security cameras, or check alerts using popular smart devices.
Do your systems support cloud video storage?
Absolutely. We offer cloud storage options alongside local storage via NVRs. Cloud-based video access lets you view, download, and share recorded footage from any device, providing added flexibility and security in the event of Wi-Fi outages or hardware failure.
How do motion sensors and glass break sensors work with cameras?
Motion detectors trigger your security cameras to record or send alerts when any movement is detected in monitored zones. Glass break sensors recognize specific sound frequencies from shattered glass at doors or windows. These devices enhance your home security by responding instantly to intrusion attempts.
What’s the best security system for homes with smart devices?
The best home security systems for smart homes include indoor and outdoor cameras, motion sensors, a central alarm panel, and integration with platforms like Google Nest, Alexa, and other compatible devices. A complete home security system will also offer cloud video storage, app access, and optional home automation capabilities.
Can I access the cameras remotely from my phone?
Yes. Our systems offer full remote control via smartphone apps, allowing you to monitor live feeds, manage settings, and receive real-time alerts. Whether you’re using wifi, cellular data, or connected to cloud storage, remote access is available anywhere, anytime.
Is professional monitoring required?
No, though it is recommended for added protection. A professional monitoring plan can alert emergency services in real-time while self-monitoring may suit users looking to avoid monthly monitoring fees or installation costs.
