## Real Qyvea Case Studies

Case Study · CCTV Installation

## CCTV Installation for a Commercial Property in Nairobi

Rooftop and pole-mounted camera coverage with a centralized control cabinet

Client and exact site details are described generally to protect customer confidentiality. The installation work, hardware and process shown are real.

Client Requirement

The client, a commercial property in Nairobi, needed complete perimeter and entrance coverage after finding their existing arrangement left the rear access road and loading area unmonitored.

Existing Situation

The property had no CCTV coverage of its own -- security relied on a physical guard presence at the main gate, with no way to review incidents afterward or monitor the building's rear and elevated areas.

Security Problem

Full coverage required elevated vantage points (roofline and boundary poles), there was no video evidence available if an incident occurred, and the owner had no way to check the property remotely.

Site Considerations

- Roofline access for elevated camera positions
- Boundary pole placement for wide perimeter coverage
- Cable-run distance back to a central control point
- Weatherproofing for outdoor-mounted hardware
- A secure, ventilated spot for the recording cabinet

Hardware Selected

- Weatherproof IP bullet & dome cameras with night vision
- NVR-based recording system
- Network switch
- Lockable control cabinet

Installation

Cameras were mounted at rooftop and boundary-pole positions to cover the perimeter and entrances, with cabling run through protected conduit back to the control cabinet -- set up and secured on site, shown in the video above.

Power Backup

The control cabinet was fitted with backup power so recording continues through short outages -- a standard part of every Qyvea CCTV installation.

Configuration

Each camera was angled and tested to eliminate blind spots at the rear and loading area, motion zones were set, and the system was configured for remote viewing from the client's phone.

Testing

Day and night footage was reviewed camera-by-camera to confirm coverage, image clarity and night-vision performance before handover.

Handover

The client was walked through the remote-viewing app, shown how to pull up recorded footage, and given basic guidance on what to check if a camera ever needs attention.

Lessons

Rooftop and pole-mounted cameras give the best perimeter coverage, but need extra care on cable protection and weatherproofing. Camera angles also have to be checked at different times of day to rule out glare or backlighting that isn't obvious during a midday install.

Maintenance Recommendation

Qyvea recommends periodic checks of lens cleanliness, cable connections and firmware, covered under our [Preventive Maintenance](https://qyvea.co.ke/maintenance) service.

Case Study · Biometric Access Control

## Biometric Access Control Installation at Building Entrances

Fingerprint and keypad terminals replacing manual sign-in

Client and exact site details are described generally to protect customer confidentiality. The installation work, hardware and process shown are real.

Client Requirement

The client wanted to replace manual sign-in and key-based entry at their building's entrances with an automated, auditable access system.

Existing Situation & Problem

Entry was controlled manually with a logbook and physical keys -- no record of exact entry and exit times, keys that could be copied or lost, and no quick way to revoke someone's access.

Site Considerations

Door types and existing hardware at each entrance, wiring routes to each terminal, and positioning terminals for reliable use in daily foot traffic.

Hardware Selected

Biometric and keypad access terminals at each entrance, wired to electric door-release hardware.

Installation & Configuration

Terminals were fitted at building entrances and wired into the door-release hardware, then enrolled with authorized users and tuned for reliable, low-friction daily use, as shown in the video above.

Testing & Handover

Every terminal was tested on site for read accuracy and door-release reliability before handover. The client was shown how to enroll new users, remove access for someone who leaves, and what to check if a terminal misreads.

Lessons

Terminal placement matters as much as the hardware itself -- the wrong mounting height or direct sunlight on the sensor affects fingerprint read reliability more than the spec sheet suggests.

Maintenance Recommendation

We recommend periodic sensor cleaning and a re-test of enrolled fingerprints, covered under our [access control maintenance](https://qyvea.co.ke/access-control-maintenance-kenya) service.

Behind the Scenes · Quality Checks

## Automatic Gate Motor: Unboxing & Pre-Installation Checks

What happens on the bench before a motor ever reaches a client's gate

Before any automatic gate motor goes out to a client site, Qyvea unboxes and assembles it on the bench first -- motor, control board and remotes -- to confirm every component is present and working before it ever reaches the property, as shown in the video above.

What's in a Typical Kit

- Gate motor unit
- Control board
- Remote controls
- Mounting hardware

Why We Do This

Catching a faulty control board or a missing part on the bench costs a few minutes. Catching the same issue on site, mid-installation, costs the client a delay -- so every kit is checked before it leaves for the property.
