Where cameras go on a Catford home
Tap a spot to see what each camera covers. Most Catford homes need two to four.
Front door
The most useful camera on any home. It records everyone who comes to the door, including parcel deliveries, and shows faces clearly.
How we fit itWe fit it high enough to be out of reach, angled down the path so faces are clear, not the tops of heads.
Drive or parking space
Covers your car and the front of the house. A wide-angle camera can take in the drive, the gate and the pavement edge.
How we fit itWe aim it at your own space, not the whole street, and set alerts so your phone tells you when someone walks up to the car.
Side passage or gate
Side returns and gates are the usual way into a back garden. A camera here catches anyone going round the back.
How we fit itWe fit a camera looking along the passage, with night vision, and can add a light that comes on with movement.
Back garden and doors
Covers patio doors, sheds and bikes. Back doors are where most break-ins start.
How we fit itWe place it to take in the whole garden and the back doors, and mask out neighbours’ gardens so you only record your own.
Home security in Catford
Corbett Estate terraces are close together, so we aim cameras at your own front path and back garden, not the neighbours’. Bellingham houses with drives often add a camera on the car.
CCTV for Catford businesses
Shops on Rushey Green and Catford Broadway use cameras on the shop floor and the shutters, with recordings kept for weeks.
Need a TV aerial, satellite dish or Starlink too? See our aerial and satellite page for Catford.
Picking cameras for a Catford home
We choose a camera for each spot rather than one type for the whole house. These are the three we fit most in Catford. See every camera we fit.
Easy to aim tightly, which matters on the Corbett Estate where houses sit close to the neighbours.
Colour night camera
Bellingham drives often have a street lamp nearby, enough for colour pictures of the car at night.
Shops on Rushey Green use them inside, where a tamper-proof dome stays pointing where it should.
CCTV repairs in Catford
On the Corbett Estate we often fix cameras that have stopped recording at night because the infrared has failed. Shops along Rushey Green ask us to repair cameras covering their shutters and tills, which take the most wear.
Not recording
Usual cause: The hard drive has failed, or filled up with overwriting switched off, or the recorder lost its settings in a power cut.
What we doWe fit a surveillance-grade hard drive, restore the recording schedule and check you can play back every camera.
Blurry or misty picture
Usual cause: Dirt or condensation on the lens, water inside a cheap housing, or an old analogue camera that was never sharp.
What we doWe clean and reseal the camera, refocus it, or upgrade it to HD, often on the existing cable.
Every camera down
Usual cause: One failed power supply or a recorder fault can take the whole system off at once.
What we doWe find the part that has failed, replace it and get every camera recording again, usually in one visit.
Something else? We repair Hikvision, Dahua, Ring and Ezviz kit. WhatsApp the CCTV team a photo of the fault or call 020 8226 4914.
How long will your Catford cameras keep footage?
More cameras and sharper pictures fill a drive faster. Change the settings to see roughly how many days you would have.
These are rough figures for modern H.265 recorders. A busy road or trees moving in the wind use more space than a quiet hallway, so we check the real figure on your recorder before we leave.
28 days of footage
About four weeks. That is what most of our customers keep.
Check your Catford cameras from anywhere
Once your cameras are in, or your old system is working again, you can see your Catford home or business live from your phone.
HD cameras with night vision, a recorder that keeps weeks of footage, and an app for your phone. You get alerts when someone is on your drive or in your garden, and can share access with your family.

If yours isn't here, call or WhatsApp our CCTV team. Advice is free.
Will my camera look into my neighbour’s garden?
Not if it is set up properly. Catford gardens are often narrow, so we mount the camera to look along your own garden and black out any strip of the neighbour’s side that still shows.
Can a camera watch the shutters on my Catford shop?
Yes. A camera above the shutters records anyone tampering with them overnight, and you can get an alert on your phone if someone stands there for too long.
Do you cover Bellingham and Hither Green as well as Catford?
Yes. We install and repair CCTV across SE6, including Bellingham, Hither Green and the roads around Mountsfield Park, for homes, shops and small businesses.
Can I record the street outside my Corbett terrace?
Only your own property is recommended. Corbett terraces are close together, so we mask out neighbours’ paths and the road.
My camera shows a black screen at night. Why?
The infrared lights that let it see in the dark have probably failed. We replace the camera or its IR board.
Can you repair the camera covering my shop shutters?
Yes. We test the camera and cable, and replace what has failed so the shutters are covered again.
