Common faults

CCTV problems we fix every day

Recognise any of these? Most are one-visit fixes — and some are quick checks we'll talk you through for free.

Camera not working

Black screens and "Video Loss" tiles — usually power, a water-damaged joint or a failed camera, found with a meter and fixed the same visit. No-video guide →

Camera offline in the app

IP cameras dropping off the recorder — PoE budget, marginal cable runs or address conflicts. We fix the cause, not the symptom. Offline camera guide →

Night vision not working

Perfect by day, black by night: failed IR LEDs, stuck filters or IR bounce — diagnosed on site, after dark if that's what it takes. Night vision guide →

Not recording

Live view fine, playback empty — silent drive failures and broken schedules are the classic surprise after an incident. Recording guide →

Remote viewing stopped

"Device offline" on your phone after an ISP or router change — we re-establish secure access and document it so it survives the next change. Remote viewing guide →

Hard drive failed

Clicking recorders and corrupt playback mean the drive is dying — we fit surveillance-grade drives sized for the retention you actually need. Hard drive guide →

Why CCTV Guru

Designed for your property, not sold off a shelf

Plenty of installers sell whatever kit is in the van and point cameras at the driveway. We design coverage: entrances and approaches first, night performance verified after dark, recording sized so the footage still exists when you need it — and cabling neat enough to be proud of.

  • All major brands — Hikvision, Dahua, UNV and more, recommended on fit, not stock.
  • Coastal discipline — sealed joints, drip loops and weatherproof housings as standard.
  • Load-shedding ready — backup power options so cameras record through outages.
  • Honest triage — quick resets and settings fixes are free phone advice, not call-out fees.

FAQ

Quick answers about pricing, warranty & timing

How much does {{service_lower}} cost in {{location}}?
It depends on camera count, camera type and your property layout — which is why we quote fixed, per property, rather than advertising a "from" price that doubles on site. Tell us your property type and rough camera count on {{phone}} and you'll get a real number, itemised, before any work starts. The quote you approve is the invoice you receive.
How many cameras does my property need?
Fewer than the brochures suggest, positioned better. A typical {{location}} home is well covered by four to six cameras: entrances, driveway, and the approaches a visitor never uses. Businesses scale with entrances, tills and stock areas. The site survey answers this properly — full coverage with solid mid-range cameras always beats premium cameras with blind spots between them.
How quickly can you install in {{location}}?
Standard installations are completed within 48 hours of quote approval — it's one of our core commitments. Repair call-outs in {{location}} are typically {{turnaround}}. If cameras are down after an incident, say so when you call {{phone}} and we prioritise you.
Can I watch my cameras from my phone?
Yes — remote viewing is standard on every system we install, configured securely and demonstrated working on your phone before handover. If your current system's app has stopped connecting (common after router or ISP changes), that's a repair we do regularly: we re-establish access on a secure path and document the setup so the next change doesn't break it.
Will the system keep working during load shedding?
Only if it's designed to — and it should be, because outages are when properties are most vulnerable. A compact UPS keeps the recorder and router alive through a standard block; larger DC backup carries the cameras too; solar removes the grid entirely for properties that need it. We size backup power to your actual schedule and test it before handover.
Which camera brand is best?
For most {{location}} properties: Hikvision or Dahua for the mainstream, UNV for value, HiLook on tighter budgets — but the honest answer depends on your property and priorities, and we install all major brands, so our recommendation is based on fit rather than stock. See our brand guides at /brands/ for side-by-side comparisons.
