CCTV System Upgrades without starting again
Turn an ageing analogue or low-resolution system into sharp HD or 4K footage with phone viewing, reusing your existing cabling and equipment where it makes sense.
- Analogue to IP
- HD & 4K
- Reuse what works
Better footage without starting again
Upgrade the parts that hold your system back
Older CCTV often still records, but the footage is grainy, the night picture is poor and the app is slow or no longer supported. When you need to identify someone, the image simply is not good enough.
An upgrade does not always mean starting from scratch. We assess what you have and keep anything that is still useful, such as cable routes, brackets or even existing coaxial cable, while replacing the cameras and recorder with modern HD, 4K or IP equipment. You get far better footage with less disruption.
- Honest assessment of your current system
- Existing cable reused where it is suitable
- HD, 4K and colour night vision cameras
- Modern app with secure phone viewing
