About this service
Modern CCTV has come a long way from grainy black-and-white footage. Today’s cameras record sharp images day and night, send alerts to your phone when they detect a person or vehicle, and let you check on your home from a café in Limassol or an airport lounge abroad. For owners of holiday homes and rental properties in particular, being able to see that everything is fine is worth a great deal.
The quality of a system depends as much on planning and installation as on the cameras themselves. Post your CCTV job on FixNow, describe your property and what you want to cover, and local installers will send offers you can compare before choosing.
What a CCTV installation can include
- Site survey: deciding camera positions to cover entrances, driveways, gardens and blind spots.
- Camera supply and fitting: dome, bullet or turret cameras suited to each location.
- Recorder setup: a network video recorder with storage sized for your needs.
- Cabling: PoE network cable runs, kept neat and protected from the weather.
- Remote viewing: app configuration so you can watch live and recorded footage.
- Smart alerts: person and vehicle detection zones to cut false alarms.
Wired, wireless or a mix?
Wired PoE systems, where one network cable carries both power and video, are usually the most reliable choice for permanent installations. They do not depend on Wi-Fi strength and are harder to tamper with. Wireless and battery cameras are easier to add in hard-to-reach spots, but they need a strong signal and regular charging. Many homes end up with a combination, and an installer can advise what makes sense for your layout.
Getting the details right in Cyprus
Strong sun can blind cameras facing east or west at certain times of day, so positioning and good wide dynamic range matter. Summer heat on south-facing walls stresses electronics, and coastal salt air corrodes cheap housings and connectors. Choose cameras with a suitable weatherproof rating and ask about corrosion-resistant fixings near the sea. Night vision is important too, since many homes have dark gardens and unlit side paths.
Privacy is something to plan for. Cameras should focus on your own property rather than neighbours’ gardens or the public street, and you should handle recordings responsibly under data protection rules. A thoughtful installer will help you angle and mask cameras accordingly.
What affects the cost
- Number of cameras: and the resolution and features you choose.
- Cabling routes: distance, wall types and whether cables must be concealed.
- Storage: how many days of footage you want to keep.
- Mounting height: high walls or roof edges may need extra equipment.
- Existing equipment: whether an old system is being upgraded or replaced.
