Storage & retention review

Confirming the system actually records for the retention period you think it does.

Fault diagnosis

Signs your CCTV system needs maintenance

  • Cameras offline or showing "no video"
  • Blurry or foggy image quality
  • Footage missing from periods you need
  • Hard drive beeping, clicking or full
  • Remote viewing on phone stopped working

Common maintenance questions

How often should CCTV systems be serviced?

Most CCTV systems should be serviced every 6 to 12 months. Higher-traffic or outdoor-heavy systems benefit from quarterly checks. Servicing covers lens cleaning, cable inspection, recorder health, storage verification and firmware updates.

Can you repair a CCTV system installed by another company?

Yes. Qyvea services and repairs existing CCTV systems regardless of who installed them. We assess the system, tell you what is working and what needs attention, and quote the repair or upgrade clearly.

Why is my CCTV not recording?

Common causes are a failed hard drive, full storage with overwrite disabled, a corrupted recording schedule, a faulty power supply, or a network fault between camera and recorder. A maintenance visit diagnoses the exact cause.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Qyvea offers scheduled maintenance contracts for homes, businesses, estates and institutions. Contracts include periodic visits, priority response for faults and documented system health reports.

Do you service systems outside Nairobi?

Yes. Qyvea is a Nairobi-based, delivery-only supplier, and services across Kenya including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Ruiru and Kiambu.
