[Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) installs home CCTV across Kenya for families, diaspora homeowners and landlords. The aim is not to cover the whole compound with the maximum number of cameras — it is to place a small number of good cameras where they matter: the gate, the driveway, the front door, the back door, and any weak point on the perimeter. Placement ## Where home cameras go ### Main gate A camera looking at the gate inside and out records every vehicle and visitor. ### Driveway & parking Covers all vehicles, the path to the house and any blind corners. ### Front door Face-capture camera or doorbell camera at the entrance. ### Back door & service area Often the least-watched entry — always worth covering. ### Garden & side passages Bullet cameras along the fence or wall covering weak points. ### Perimeter walls Outdoor cameras on the boundary wall, integrated with electric fence where fitted. Remote viewing ## Check on home from anywhere Remote viewing works over any internet connection — local mobile data or Wi-Fi abroad. This matters especially for diaspora homeowners who want to see the property, family and staff while they are away. Features that come with a Qyvea home installation: - Live view on phone, tablet or laptop - Playback of recorded footage by date and time - Motion alerts pushed to your phone - Secure login — no shared passwords - Multiple users if you want family members to have access Power ## What happens during a power cut? Cameras and the recorder can run on a UPS or a solar backup system. A small UPS keeps the CCTV running for 1-2 hours during a short outage. A solar-backed installation can run cameras indefinitely during the day and through the night on battery. Qyvea sizes the backup based on how long you want coverage to continue during an outage — see [Solar Backup Solutions](https://qyvea.co.ke/solar-solutions).

FAQ ## Common questions from homeowners How many cameras does a home need? Most Kenyan homes need 4 to 8 cameras: main gate, driveway, front door, back door, and any side passages or garden edges. Larger compounds with multiple entrances need more. A free site survey determines the exact layout. Can I see my home CCTV from abroad? Yes. Remote viewing works over any internet connection. Many of our clients use it from the UK, US, Canada and Middle East to check on family and property in Kenya. Will CCTV work during a power cut? Cameras and the recorder can run on a UPS or a solar backup system. We size the backup based on how long you want coverage to continue during an outage. Do I need internet for home CCTV? The system records locally without internet. Internet is only needed for remote viewing from your phone when you're away from home. How much does home CCTV cost in Kenya? Cost depends on camera count, resolution, cable routing, storage size, and whether a UPS or solar backup is added.
