Choosing camera spots in Walthamstow
Tap a spot to see what each camera covers. Most Walthamstow 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.
Protecting homes across Walthamstow
Most Walthamstow terraces have a front garden and a back garden reached through the house or a side return. A camera on the front door and one on the garden cover most homes.

Walthamstow CCTV repairs
Walthamstow has thousands of terraces and many small businesses near the market and Hoe Street. Our repairs here are mostly front door cameras with poor pictures, battery cameras that need constant charging and recorders that stopped saving. We often upgrade to a small wired system that is more reliable.
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: Weather, spiders and age all soften the picture. Water inside the camera shows up as mist or fog.
What we doWe clean or refocus it, or swap it for a sealed HD camera that stays sharp.
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 much footage can a Walthamstow system hold?
Pick your number of cameras and drive size to see roughly how many days your recorder would keep before it records over the oldest footage.
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.
See your Walthamstow property live
Once your cameras are in, or your old system is working again, you can see your Walthamstow 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.
Can you fit CCTV in Walthamstow Village?
Yes. Walthamstow Village is a conservation area, so we keep cameras small and discreet and place them away from the most visible parts of the house.
Can I have a doorbell camera on my Walthamstow terrace?
Yes. We fit wired or battery doorbells that ring your phone and record every visitor, and set motion zones so passing traffic does not set them off.
Do you cover Higham Hill and Wood Street?
Yes. We cover all of E17, including Higham Hill, Wood Street, Blackhorse Road and the streets around Lloyd Park.
My Walthamstow terrace has a small front garden. Will a camera film the street?
It will see some, so we keep it pointed at your path and door and mask the pavement and houses opposite in the recording.
My Walthamstow battery cameras keep running flat. What can you do?
We can replace them with wired cameras powered from the recorder, which record all the time and never need charging.
Can you repair the cameras on my Walthamstow market stall or shop?
Yes. We test the cameras and recorder, replace what has failed and make sure staff know how to save footage if something happens.
