Frequently asked questions
How much does CCTV installation cost in Nairobi?
As an indicative guide, a supplied-and-installed 4-camera HD CCTV kit in Nairobi typically ranges from about KES 35,000 to KES 80,000, depending on camera resolution, night vision, recorder storage and cabling distance. IP and 8–16 camera systems cost more. Broadview gives a fixed written quote after a site assessment.
What CCTV systems are best for homes, shops and offices in Kenya?
Homes usually suit a 4-camera 2–4MP kit with colour night vision and phone viewing. Shops benefit from 4–8 cameras covering the till, entrance and stock area. Offices and warehouses do best with IP cameras on an NVR, plus access control, for clearer images and easier expansion.
What is the difference between a DVR and an NVR?
A DVR (digital video recorder) records analogue/HD-coax cameras connected with coaxial cable. An NVR (network video recorder) records IP cameras over network cable, often powered by PoE. NVR systems give higher resolution and easier expansion; DVR systems are usually cheaper for small homes and shops.
Can I view my CCTV cameras on my phone?
Yes. Every CCTV system Broadview installs can be set up for remote viewing on Android or iPhone through the manufacturer's app, as long as the recorder has an internet connection. Our technicians configure the app, user accounts and alerts during installation and show you how to play back footage.
