Where cameras go on a Leytonstone home
Tap a spot to see what each camera covers. Most Leytonstone 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 Leytonstone
Leytonstone terraces often have a side passage to the garden, while Wanstead houses have drives and garages. We plan cameras for each way in.
CCTV for Leytonstone businesses
Shops, pubs and cafés on Leytonstone High Road and Church Lane use cameras on doors, bars and tills.

Cameras that suit Leytonstone
We choose a camera for each spot rather than one type for the whole house. These are the three we fit most in Leytonstone. See every camera we fit.

Wanstead drives and garages often sit far enough back to need a zoom lens.

CCTV repairs in Leytonstone
Leytonstone has many Victorian terraces and flat conversions, along with shops and cafés on Church Lane and the High Road. We often repair front door cameras that stopped working after decorating, and recorders in shops that have been unplugged or switched off by mistake and never set to restart.
Camera offline
Usual cause: A loose or water-damaged connector, a cable cut during building work, or a camera that has simply reached the end of its life.
What we doWe test at the recorder and at the camera, repair the cable or connector, and replace the camera if it has died.
No night picture
Usual cause: Infrared LEDs fade with age, and a spider’s web or a wall close by can bounce the light straight back into the lens.
What we doWe clear the lens, re-angle or move the camera, and replace it if the infrared has gone.
Not recording
Usual cause: Recorders run for years, then the hard drive wears out. A hot cupboard with no air speeds that up.
What we doWe replace the drive or the recorder, give it room to stay cool and check it keeps saving footage.
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 Leytonstone 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 Leytonstone cameras from anywhere
Once your cameras are in, or your old system is working again, you can see your Leytonstone 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.
How many cameras does a terraced house need?
Usually two or three: the front door, the side passage and the back garden.
Do you cover Wanstead and Cann Hall?
Yes. We cover all of E11, including Wanstead, Cann Hall and the roads near Wanstead Flats, for new cameras and repairs.
Can everyone in my Leytonstone house see the cameras?
Yes. Each person can have their own app login, so the whole household gets alerts and can check the cameras without sharing one password.
My Leytonstone flat shares a front door. Can I put a camera there?
Only with agreement from the other flats and the freeholder. Once agreed, we can fit one camera and share the view with each flat by app.
Our decorators disconnected my Leytonstone camera. Can you reconnect it?
Yes. We reconnect and seal the cable, re-fix the camera, re-aim it and test that it shows on the recorder and app.
My Church Lane shop recorder keeps switching off. What is wrong?
It may be a failing power supply or plug, or being switched off by staff. We test it and can fit a backup power supply so it keeps recording.
