Can I install CCTV myself?

A 40-second answer from Qyvea Limited, Nairobi. Watch it here, read the short summary below, or message us for advice.

The short answer

One or two Wi-Fi cameras? Yes, you can do that yourself. A full system for a home or business is where DIY usually fails: cable runs, camera angles, storage and power backup all need planning. Getting it right the first time avoids blind spots and lost footage.

Key points

  • One or two Wi-Fi cameras: fine to DIY
  • Full systems need cable runs and good camera angles
  • Storage sizing and power backup matter
  • A free site survey avoids costly mistakes
