A site survey is not a sales pitch. It's a diagnosis.
Before you buy cameras, you need to know what you're protecting, where the weak points are, and how many cameras you actually need. That's what a site survey does. It's free, takes about 30–60 minutes, and saves you from wasting money on the wrong system.
Why a Site Survey Matters More Than You Think
We've seen too many people buy cameras first and think later. They end up with cameras facing walls, no night vision, or a DVR that fills up in two days. A site survey prevents all that. It's the difference between a security system and an expensive decoration.

The Site Survey Process: Step by Step
1. We walk your property with you
We look at entry points, blind spots, lighting, and power sources. You tell us your concerns — whether it's a gate, a store, or a farm perimeter.
2. We recommend camera types and placement
Based on what we see, we'll suggest specific cameras — dome, bullet, or PTZ — and show you exactly where they should go. No guesswork.
3. We discuss power and network options
If your area has power cuts, we'll talk about battery backup or solar. If you have no Wi‑Fi, we'll suggest 4G cameras. This is where local knowledge matters.
4. You get a clear written quote
No hidden fees. You'll see the cost of cameras, recorder, storage, installation, and remote viewing setup. You decide what to do next — no pressure.
What We Look For During the Survey
Our technicians examine several things that affect camera choice and placement:
Site Surveys for Different Property Types
The survey adapts to what kind of property you have:
- Homes: Focus on perimeter, gate, driveway, and common rooms. We'll recommend 4–8 cameras typically.
- Shops & Retail: Cover entrance, counter, storage, and aisles. Theft prevention and staff monitoring are priorities.
- Schools & Institutions: Wide-area coverage for classrooms, corridors, playground, and perimeter.
- Warehouses & Industrial: Long-range cameras, license plate capture, and monitoring of loading docks.
- Hotels & Lodges: Discreet cameras in lobbies, parking, and common areas — no cameras in guest rooms.
- Farms: Solar-powered cameras, 4G connectivity, and coverage for livestock and equipment areas.
Each property type has its own challenges, and the survey addresses them specifically.
Common Questions About the Free Site Survey
People often ask us about the survey before booking. Here are some clarifications:

- How soon can you come? Usually within 1–2 days, depending on your location in Nakuru.
- Do I need to prepare? No, just have a general idea of what you want to protect.
- Is it high pressure? Absolutely not. We give advice and a quote, and you decide. No follow-up calls or nagging.
