Our Scope
New cameras, system upgrades and repairs
AB Electrical installs CCTV for homes and businesses, including cameras, cabling, power, recording equipment and setup. We plan the positions around the areas you want to see, not a fixed camera package.
Camera installation and system work
- New camera systems
- Additional or replacement cameras
- Recorder and system setup
- Cable and power-supply work
- Existing-system fault finding
For an existing system, a missing picture or recording gap can involve power, cabling, the network or equipment. We assess the fault and whether suitable components can be retained before recommending repairs or replacement.
Choosing a camera system
Coverage, recording and access
A live picture is only part of the decision. Consider the detail you need to see, how you will find a recording later and who needs access to it.
Keep account passwords and recordings private. To enquire about an existing system, the model details and a description of the fault are enough; do not send login credentials or private footage through the enquiry form.
Why AB Electrical
Why people choose AB Electrical for CCTV
You deal with the same electrician throughout your electrical work. If a fault is caused by our installation or repair workmanship, we put it right at no extra charge.
Outdoor exposure considered
Fittings and connections selected for their location, with cabling concealed where practical.
Recording demonstrated
We check the agreed views and recording functions with you, including supported remote access where it is part of the installation.
Repair before an assumed replacement
An offline camera can have a power, cable, network or equipment fault. We investigate which part needs attention.
