Cameras drift, feeds get damaged, storage fills quietly, and admin access disappears when management agents change. Qyvea services and repairs apartment block CCTV, working with body corporates and property managers. Shared-area coverage. Committee-ready reporting.

[Talk to a Technician](tel:+254113301244) Lobby · Corridors · Lifts · Parking · Gates · Common Areas ## Why Apartment CCTV Needs Regular Servicing Apartment buildings change hands — management agents get replaced, body corporate committees rotate, residents move in and out. Cameras that were installed under one manager may sit unserviced for years. Contractors doing works in the building damage cabling, moving crews knock cameras, and lift-lobby or parking cameras get quietly obstructed by new signage or storage. Apartment CCTV servicing typically covers: - Lobby, entrance and gate coverage - Corridor and lift-lobby checks - Lift-car camera integrity (where applicable) - Parking bay and basement camera checks - Gym, pool and shared amenity coverage - Committee and resident access configuration If the current system was installed by a previous management vendor — very common — we assess it on its own merits and tell you plainly what we can do. Common Problems ## Apartment CCTV Faults We Fix The faults we're most often called to handle in apartment blocks. ### Lobby or Gate Cameras Offline Most visible cameras go down quietly after network or power changes during building works. ### Lost Admin Access Management agents change hands, credentials go with the outgoing agent — nobody left can log in. ### Short Retention Resident incident reviews often take a week or more to resolve — but footage overwrites in days. ### Blurry or Obstructed Cameras New potted plants, signage, cleaning cupboards or parked bikes blocking cameras in shared areas. ### Coverage Gaps After Works New wing, new parking level, new gym — no additional cameras installed to match. ### Damaged Cabling Contractors drilling, lifting floors, or running electrical works cutting through existing camera cable runs.

That's Fine. Apartment blocks change management frequently. Cameras get added to over the years, documentation is often missing, and the previous management agent may have left with the admin password and no handover. None of that means the system is beyond help. We assess the existing cameras, NVR, cabling and coverage, then tell you plainly whether the system can be: - Repaired as-is - Reconfigured (access, retention, remote viewing) - Upgraded in part (cameras, NVR or storage) - Partially replaced - Fully replaced, if that's genuinely the sensible option We can't promise every third-party system is repairable sight unseen — some equipment is genuinely past its useful life — but we assess before we conclude that. Process ## How an Apartment CCTV Service Runs 1 ### Committee Briefing What's happening, and what the committee wants reviewed. 2 ### Site Walk Lobby, corridors, lifts, parking, amenities. 3 ### Diagnose Cameras, cabling, power, NVR, network. 4 ### Report & Recommend Written findings — repair, upgrade or replace. 5 ### Approve & Repair Work scheduled around resident activity. 6 ### Handover Report + documentation for the committee file. Technical Honesty ## Repair, Upgrade or Replace? ### Repair Restore existing cameras, NVR or cabling where practical — most apartment faults are configuration, cabling or access issues. ### Upgrade Replace the specific cameras, NVR or storage that has failed or is outdated, keeping usable cabling and mounts. ### Replace Recommended where equipment is obsolete, damaged beyond practical repair, or genuinely inadequate for the building's layout.

Apartment blocks with shared entrances, lifts and parking typically benefit from servicing every 6 to 12 months. Buildings with higher footfall or older systems benefit from the shorter interval. Can you coordinate with the body corporate or management agent? Yes. We work with body corporates, property managers and management agents regularly — including for scheduling, reporting and any needed approvals. We provide written reports that can be tabled at AGMs or committee meetings. Our apartment CCTV was installed by a previous management agent's vendor. Can you service it? In most cases yes. We assess the existing cameras, NVR, cabling and coverage, then recommend repair, upgrade or replacement based on what we find — no assumptions. Can residents request individual coverage outside the shared system? Individual apartment cameras are separate from the shared building system. We can service both, but they're usually installed and maintained separately under the owner's responsibility. Can you service the lifts and parking CCTV without affecting residents? Yes. Lift and parking cameras are serviced without taking lifts or parking out of service — we schedule access with building management and work around peak hours. Do you offer maintenance contracts for apartment blocks? Yes. Apartment CCTV maintenance contracts are common — scoped to the number of cameras, number of shared facilities and required response times. Contact us to discuss. ## Apartment CCTV Issue?
