CCTV repairs and upgrades

Cameras offline, a recorder that has stopped recording, an app that will not connect or footage too fuzzy to use? Repaired, or upgraded to cameras that actually show a face.

CCTV tends to fail quietly. A camera drops offline, the hard drive fills up or fails, or the app stops connecting after a broadband change, and nobody notices until they need the footage and it is not there.

DF Alarms repairs and upgrades CCTV systems around Wigan, whoever installed them. Dean finds out what has gone wrong, fixes what can be fixed, and tells you honestly when an old camera or recorder is not worth spending more on.

When an upgrade makes more sense

Older analogue cameras often give pictures that are too soft to identify anyone, especially at night. Modern cameras are far sharper, and in many cases the existing cable routes can be reused, which keeps the job quicker and neater.

A new recorder can also bring an old system up to date with phone viewing and movement alerts. Dean will give you a clear price for repairing what you have and, if it is worth comparing, for upgrading, so you can choose.

CCTV repair questions

All questions

Can I watch my CCTV on my phone?

Yes. The cameras we fit record to a recorder in your home, and we set up the app on your phone before we leave, so you can see live and recorded footage wherever you are and get alerts when something moves.

How long does CCTV keep its recordings?

It depends on the size of the hard drive in the recorder, the number of cameras and the picture quality. A typical home system keeps a few weeks of footage, then records over the oldest. We set it up to suit you, and you can save any clip you need to your phone.

Get your CCTV fixed

Tell Dean what the system is doing, how many cameras you have and, if you know, who fitted it. A photo of the recorder helps.
