We've fixed too many systems that were doomed from day one.
Cameras facing walls. Night vision that only works in moonlight. DVRs with no storage. These aren't rare — they're common. And they all come from the same five mistakes.
Mistake #1: Wrong camera placement
A camera is only useful if it sees the right area. We've seen cameras pointed at roofs, trees, and empty walls. Place cameras to cover entry points first — gates, doors, and windows. See how we do home CCTV.
Mistake #2: Ignoring night vision quality
Most incidents happen at night. If your camera's night vision is weak, you're not protected after dark. Look for full‑colour night vision or strong infrared. Read our brand comparison.
Mistake #3: No power backup
Nakuru has power cuts. If your cameras die during a blackout, you're vulnerable at the worst time. Battery backup or solar is not optional for critical areas.
Mistake #4: Too little storage
A 500GB drive sounds fine until it fills up in three days and overwrites the footage you need. Match your storage to your recording needs. See our cost guide.
Mistake #5: DIY installation without a site survey
You can install cameras yourself, but placement and configuration are usually wrong. A free site survey catches these issues before they cost you money. Book one here.
