Camera security
Camera security, explained properly
What each camera type is actually for, how much resolution you need, what a system costs in rupees, and what is really wrong when one stops working. Written by the people who fit them, from jobs done across Talagang, Chakwal and Attock.
CCTV installation
CCTV installation covers surveying your premises, choosing camera positions that actually cover your entrances and till, running cable in conduit, fitting the recorder with enough storage for your retention needs, and setting up phone viewing before we leave.

IP camera installation
IP cameras use network cable instead of coaxial, carry power over the same cable, and give higher resolution than analogue systems.

CCTV maintenance
CCTV maintenance means scheduled visits to clean lenses, check focus, verify the recorder is still writing, confirm storage health and test remote access.
