CCTV Camera Installation and Maintenance in Chh. Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad)

DVR systems use coaxial cable and analog cameras - HD-CVI, HD-TVI and AHD are all HD analog formats that work with a DVR. NVR systems use IP cameras on Cat6 cable, and these cameras usually support PoE so one cable handles both power and video. IP gives you higher resolution options and works better for long runs. DVR is simpler and costs less, works perfectly fine for most homes and shops. Honestly for most residential jobs in Aurangabad a good HD DVR system is more than enough - you do not need IP cameras unless you have a large area to cover or specific high-resolution requirements.

There is no standard answer without seeing the house. A 3-4 BHK independent house in Garkheda or CIDCO typically needs 4 cameras - main gate, front of house, parking and one covering the back or side approach. If you have a compound wall or garden area, 6 cameras. A flat usually needs 2 at most - one at the front door covering the corridor and one inside near a valuables area. We give you a camera count after we see the layout, not before.

Both. We source Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus based on your budget and then install. If you have already bought cameras, we install those. One thing we always ask - if you have bought your own equipment, share the model numbers before we confirm the job. We have seen cases where cameras and DVR bought separately from different shops are not compatible, better to find that out early rather than on the day of installation.

In new construction or renovation where walls are still open, yes - we chase cable into the wall for a clean finish. In an existing building we run cable through surface conduit (PVC pipe) fixed to the wall or ceiling. Loose cables draped along the wall or stuffed under carpets is how you end up with systems that fail after the first monsoon. For factories we use cable trays.

This is part of every installation, we do not handover and leave. We connect DVR to your router, setup DDNS so your cameras have a fixed address even when your ISP changes the IP, install the app on your phone and verify you can see live footage before we go. Hikvision uses iVMS-4500, Dahua uses gDMSS, CP Plus has CP Plus Vision - we handle the app setup for whichever brand. If you get a new router or change your broadband provider later and remote access stops working, call us - we can sort it as a service call.

Depends on HDD size, number of cameras and the resolution you are recording at. A 4-camera 1080p system set to record only on motion detection gives roughly 15 to 20 days on 1 TB. The same setup recording continuously drops to around 7 days per TB. We calculate this at quotation stage and tell you exactly how many days you are getting - if you want longer storage we size the HDD accordingly.

Yes, we do CCTV for factories regularly. Factory jobs are different from a home - less cameras but more complex: cable runs of 50 to 100 metres are common inside a factory floor, outdoor cameras on roof or perimeter fencing, cable trays for internal runs, sometimes dust-proof housings depending on the environment. We have done CCTV in Waluj MIDC and Shendra MIDC units - entry gates, loading docks, perimeter and production floor monitoring.

A CCTV system that runs a full year without any check usually has at least one problem by then. Lens gets dusty or covered with spider webs, IR stops working properly, a cable connector starts corroding after the monsoon, HDD gets bad sectors. An annual maintenance visit covers: cleaning lens and housing, checking IR night vision, inspecting cables and connectors especially outdoor runs, checking HDD health and remaining storage, and verifying remote access is still working. We also check if cameras have shifted slightly - it happens from vibration and nearby construction work. If the HDD is failing or a camera is dying we tell you before it stops recording at the worst possible moment.

Yes. Tell us the DVR brand and model and describe what is happening - we can usually diagnose and fix camera faults, cable failures, DVR issues or remote access problems regardless of who originally installed it. The one situation where we cannot help easily is when the installer has locked DVR with a password and not given it to you - in that case we discuss what options are available.
