Qyvea diagnoses and repairs faults, keeps the system healthy, and coordinates directly with estate managers and HOAs. Multi-camera. Multi-gate. HOA-friendly.

[Talk to a Technician](tel:+254113301244) Perimeter Cameras · Gate Houses · Shared NVR · Written Reports ## Why Estate CCTV Needs Regular Servicing Estate systems cover larger areas with more cameras than home installations. That means more points of failure, more environmental exposure, and more variables — a shared NVR, a broader network, multiple gate houses each with their own monitor or control point, and often several years of gradual additions that weren't documented. Common drivers for scheduling an estate CCTV service: - Boundary cameras losing signal in rain or at night - Gate-house monitors showing nothing while the cameras themselves still work - Storage filling up and old footage overwriting too quickly - Some cameras added over the years but not integrated into the NVR - Committee requests for a written condition report - A change of guard contractor or management team who wants to know the system's real state If the current system was installed by another provider — common for estates — we assess it on its own merits and tell you plainly what we can do. Common Problems ## Estate CCTV Faults We Fix The faults we're most often called to handle in gated communities. ### Gate-House Monitor Blank Guard monitor not showing feed even though cameras are live — often a network, splitter or power issue at the gate house, not a camera fault. ### Boundary Camera Offline Perimeter cameras losing signal at night or in rain — usually a power, PoE or connector issue exposed to weather. ### Short Retention Estate NVRs fill up fast — footage overwriting after a few days means the storage needs review. ### Blurry or Foggy Cameras Dust, condensation, cobwebs or a misaligned camera — common on older estate perimeter cameras. ### Night Vision Dead Cameras that used to show night footage going black or grey — usually IR LEDs or an ageing camera. ### Lost Admin Access Previous installer's credentials, forgotten passwords, or no documentation — common when committees change.

That's Fine. Most estates in Kenya have CCTV installed by a company that may no longer be involved. Committee members change. Contractors are replaced. Documentation gets lost. None of that means the system is beyond help. We assess the existing cameras, NVR, cabling and configuration, then tell you plainly whether the system can be: - Repaired as-is - Reconfigured (network, 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 Estate CCTV Service Runs 1 ### Committee Briefing What's happening and what the estate wants reviewed. 2 ### Site Assessment Walk the perimeter, gates and gate houses. 3 ### Diagnose Cameras, cabling, power, NVR, network. 4 ### Report & Recommend Written findings — repair, upgrade or replace. 5 ### Approve & Repair Approved work carried out, then tested. 6 ### Handover Report + documentation for the committee file. Technical Honesty ## Repair, Upgrade or Replace? ### Repair Restore the existing cameras or NVR where that's practical and cost-effective — most faults fall into this category. ### Upgrade Replace the specific cameras, NVR or storage that have failed or are outdated, keeping usable cabling and mounts. ### Replace Recommended where equipment is obsolete, damaged beyond practical repair, or genuinely inadequate for the estate's size.

For gated communities and estates with multiple gate houses, we usually recommend a service every 6 months, with an additional visual check after heavy weather. Systems with many perimeter cameras, coastal salt air or dusty conditions benefit from quarterly checks. Do you service CCTV systems installed by another vendor? Yes. Most estates in Kenya were installed by a previous contractor. We assess the existing cameras, NVR, cabling and configuration, then recommend repair, upgrade or replacement based on what we find. Can you coordinate with the estate management or HOA? Yes. We work directly with estate managers, HOAs and body corporates, provide written service reports for their records, and schedule visits around committee preferences. Some cameras work but the gate-house monitor shows nothing. Can you fix it? Yes — gate-house monitor issues are usually caused by network, splitter, or power problems rather than camera failure. Diagnosis starts at the monitor and works back to the camera. Do you offer maintenance contracts for estates? Yes. Scheduled maintenance arrangements are common for estates — scoped to the number of cameras, the number of gate houses, and the agreed response arrangement. Contact us to discuss. Can you add more cameras to an estate system without replacing the whole setup? In most cases yes, if the NVR and network can support the additional cameras and storage. We assess headroom before quoting. ## Estate CCTV Problem? Let's Take a Look. Tell us about your estate and the issue.
