How it works

Three steps, no surprises

Customer photographing the gate and drive to send for a CCTV quote1

Send photos of the outside

WhatsApp us the gate, the drive and the corners. Coverage is decided by the building, not by the camera count.

Apni Chhat technician walking a property and marking camera positions2

We walk it and mark positions

Every position agreed with you first, including where the cable will run.

Installed CCTV system being checked on the monitor and on the phone app3

Installed, aimed and app tested

We check every angle on the monitor and get the app working on your phone before we leave.

Had a break-in and need footage?

Do not let anyone power-cycle the recorder - that is how footage gets overwritten. Message us and we will talk you through pulling the clip before anything else.

  • Do not restart or unplug the DVR
  • Note the date and rough time
  • Say it is an incident when you message
Why us

Four things we do differently

Coverage planned before drilling

Four cameras aimed well beat eight aimed badly.

Cable in conduit, joints in boxes

Taped cable outdoors is the most common cause of a dead channel.

Retention set to what you asked for

We size the drive to the days you want, then show you the maths.

App working before we leave

Tested on your phone, on mobile data, not just on your wifi.

FAQs

CCTV & Security questions, answered

How many cameras does an average house need?

For a typical 5–10 marla house, four cameras usually cover the main gate, the driveway, the rear approach and the internal entrance. We map it during the site visit rather than selling you a fixed package.

How long is footage kept?

That depends on hard drive size, camera count and resolution. A 2TB drive with four cameras at 1080p typically holds around 20–30 days of continuous recording. We size the drive to the retention period you want.

Can I view the cameras from abroad?

Yes, through the manufacturer's mobile app over your internet connection. We set it up and test it on your phone before we leave.

Do you supply the cameras?

We can source them at cost and show you the invoice, or you can buy your own. Our installation labour rate is the same either way.

Where should cameras actually be mounted?

Between eight and ten feet - high enough to be out of reach, low enough to get a face. Above ten feet you record the tops of heads, which is no use to anyone including the police.

Will it work in a power cut or if the internet drops?

Recording continues on a UPS if you have one, and the recorder keeps writing to its drive with no internet at all. You lose remote viewing while the connection is down, not the footage.

Is it legal to point a camera at the street?

Your own gate and frontage, yes. Deliberately covering a neighbour's door, windows or private space is asking for a dispute, so we angle to avoid it and will tell you if a position you want is a problem.
