Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy hardware in Nairobi CBD?

Broadview Enterprises Limited supplies hardware from Nyandarua House, Gaberone Road, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday 8am–6pm. You can browse and order hardware, building materials and CCTV products on WhatsApp at +254 780 664 520 for pickup or delivery anywhere in Nairobi.

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 building materials does Broadview supply?

Broadview supplies cement, steel and reinforcement bars, roofing sheets, timber, plumbing pipes and fittings, electrical cables and accessories, tiles, paint, fasteners and hand and power tools. Stock and prices change often, so the live WhatsApp Catalogue at wa.me/c/254780664520 shows current availability in KES.

Does Broadview deliver outside Nairobi?

Yes. Broadview Enterprises Limited delivers within Nairobi — CBD, Westlands, Kilimani, Upper Hill, Eastlands and Thika Road — and dispatches countrywide, including Nakuru, through courier and transport partners. Delivery cost and timing are confirmed on WhatsApp based on order size and destination.

Why is Broadview called Kenya's trusted security partner?

Broadview Enterprises Limited combines security hardware supply with professional installation, so one Nairobi team handles the survey, equipment, cabling, setup and after-sales support. Customers get clear KES quotes, WhatsApp support during business hours and a single accountable partner for CCTV, access control and surveillance.

How do I order from Broadview on WhatsApp?

Message +254 780 664 520 on WhatsApp or open our WhatsApp Catalogue at wa.me/c/254780664520. Pick the items, send your list or use the Add to order basket on this website, and our Nairobi team confirms stock, price in KES and delivery or installation time in the same chat.

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.

Do you install access control systems?

Yes. Broadview installs fingerprint, card and PIN access control for offices, apartments and gates, including electric locks, exit buttons and attendance reporting. Access control can be combined with CCTV so entries are recorded on camera. Ask on WhatsApp for a site survey and quote.
