For new coverage, we offer a free site survey and a fixed written quote. We plan around your property, show you where the cameras will look and explain how you will find a recording. You know the clear price before work starts.
We repair CCTV in Wood Green, whoever fitted it
A dead camera does not mean you need a complete new system. We test camera power, connectors, cable runs and recorder channels in that order, then explain the fault. We repair systems installed by other companies, including installations with missing paperwork, tangled wiring and no working phone app. Tell us which views have disappeared and whether the fault started after rain, building work or a broadband change.
A typical job here: near Bounds Green we trace a missing rear camera to a damaged cable behind a shed. We install a protect replacement and test recorded footage from the gate.
We check chewed cables, loose plugs and waterlogged outdoor joints before condemning equipment. If we replace a part, we prove the repair with live pictures and recorded playback. You get a clear price before work starts, with the repair scope written down.

A free site survey that starts at your gate
We walk the property with you during the free site survey. We check sightlines, lighting and entry points, including the front door, side return, back gate and any garage or delivery entrance. We ask what you need to identify in each picture: a caller’s face, a vehicle entering the drive or someone opening a rear gate.
N22 Victorian terraces and conversions need clear coverage of front steps and side returns. New apartment blocks around Wood Green High Road bring shared access and permission checks. Towards Bounds Green and Alexandra Palace, we check changes in level and dark rear approaches.
We inspect existing equipment, measure practical cable routes and agree a secure recorder position. Then we give you a fixed written quote covering the proposed work and equipment. The survey is free; repairs and installation are separate work that starts only after you approve the quote.
Clear faces at the door, useful pictures after dark
We position front-door cameras to see faces beneath the porch, with a separate view where a side return needs coverage. Mounting everything high under the roof wastes detail at the doorstep. We check the picture with someone standing at the entrance and walking towards it, so the angle works for the job you want it to do.
Infrared night vision needs a clear path. A white wall, gutter or cobweb close to the lens throws light back and washes out the picture. Floodlights add colour detail where suitable, but we aim them away from neighbours’ windows and passing drivers. We check existing lamps before adding more lighting.
At a shop on Wood Green High Road, we restored the owner’s phone access after a broadband change and reset alerts so passing buses stopped triggering entrance notifications.
Recorders, wiring and phone access we hand over properly
A recorder showing live pictures still needs a playback test. We check drive health, recording schedules, dates and available storage. A failed drive needs replacing; that replacement does not recover old footage. If you need a recording as evidence, tell us before anyone resets or formats the recorder. We explain what remains available on the existing equipment.
For new installations we favour wired cameras with a local recorder when the property allows a sensible cable route. Power over Ethernet carries power and pictures on one cable. Wi-Fi cameras depend on coverage at their exact position, so we test there. Your mobile signal or broadband speed alone tells us nothing about the wireless link at a back gate.
We set up the phone app with you, secure the owner account and test access over mobile data. We demonstrate playback, alerts and clip export before leaving. Wired local recording continues during an internet outage while the cameras and recorder have power; remote viewing needs the connection restored.
Privacy and shared entrances across N22
We aim cameras at your own entrances and boundaries. We do not point them into neighbours’ gardens. Where a view includes private windows, we adjust the lens and apply privacy masking. Audio stays off unless there is a specific, justified need. For shared doors we establish who manages recordings and who gets access before installation.
Recording beyond your boundary brings data protection responsibilities, including appropriate signage, secure storage and handling requests for footage. We explain the practical setup; you remain responsible for lawful use. For flats and shops, obtain any required freeholder, managing-agent or planning approval before fittings go onto shared or protected walls. We agree retention settings around your actual security purpose.
