[Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) installs CCTV in apartment blocks across Kenya for landlords, property managers and management companies. The system covers the shared areas where incidents actually happen — gate, lobby, lifts, corridors, parking, service areas — and access to the footage sits with the caretaker, security team or management, not scattered across individual units. Coverage ## Common areas we cover ### Gate & pedestrian entrance Vehicle and pedestrian gates, with number-plate capture where required. ### Lobby & reception Where every visitor passes. Cameras cover the doors and the lift waiting area. ### Lifts & lift lobbies Optional cameras inside each lift and at each landing, showing comings and goings. ### Parking (basement & surface) Covering bays, drive lanes and entry/exit points. Low-light or IR cameras for basements. ### Corridors & stairwells Dome cameras along corridors and stairwells across each floor. ### Service & rooftop access Coverage of utility rooms, water tank access and rooftop doors. Governance ## Who can view the footage? In a residential block, footage access needs to be deliberate. Qyvea sets up the system so that: - Only named staff (caretaker, security lead, manager) have login credentials - Each login is separate — no shared passwords between users - Footage exports are logged so management can see who accessed what and when - Resident requests are handled through management, not directly by staff For estates running multiple blocks, the same model scales. See [Estate Solutions](https://qyvea.co.ke/estate-solutions) for the bulk and multi-block version. Integration ## CCTV, intercoms and access control together - **Gate intercom** — so the caretaker can see and speak to visitors before releasing the gate - **Access-controlled lobby door** — residents use a fob or code, and every entry is logged alongside the camera - **Biometric for staff** — caretakers, cleaners and security staff clock in on biometric terminals - **Fire & emergency** — doors fail-safe open on fire alarm See [Biometric Access Control](https://qyvea.co.ke/biometrics) and [Automatic Gates](https://qyvea.co.ke/automatic-gates) for detail.

FAQ ## Common questions from landlords and managers Where should CCTV go in an apartment block? Priority positions are the main gate, pedestrian entrance, lobby, each lift interior or lift lobby, basement and surface parking, service corridors, rooftop access and any external boundary. Individual apartment doors are covered only if the landlord or management wants it and residents agree. Can residents view the apartment CCTV? Access is controlled by the landlord or management company. Typically only the caretaker, security and manager have viewing rights. Residents can request specific footage through the management if there is an incident. Can CCTV integrate with apartment access control? Yes. Cameras at each controlled door can be paired with intercoms and access readers so the caretaker or manager sees who is entering while the access log records it. How many cameras does an apartment block need? A small 8-unit block may need 6 to 10 cameras. A larger block with basement parking, multiple lifts and rooftop access may need 20 or more. Qyvea maps the building during a free site survey and proposes positions. Can CCTV cover basement parking without internet? Yes. Cameras and the NVR record locally regardless of internet. Internet is only needed if the landlord or manager wants to view remotely. ## Book an apartment block survey Free walk-through of the building and itemised quote for the common areas.
