Home CCTV Installation in Chennai

A home CCTV system only works if the cameras are in the right places. At Black Cats, our own team visits your house first, plans where each camera should go, installs the system and services it afterwards. This page explains what we cover in a home, how we install, and what to ask any installer before you hire one.

What a home CCTV system should cover

Most break-ins and thefts at homes happen at the same few points. A good plan puts cameras where a person has to pass:

Main door and entrance porch
Gate and compound wall
Car park and driveway
Back door, side passage and service entrance
Staircase and terrace access
Common passages inside the house (we avoid bedrooms and bathrooms)

AI cameras for homes

We install Stanklin AI cameras. Stanklin is a Taiwan-based AI CCTV brand. Its cameras detect faces and human shapes, so you are alerted when a person is in view and not when a branch moves or a vehicle passes. Loud external siren speakers add a deterrent: someone who hears a siren outside is far more likely to leave.

How we install

Our process is the same for every home:

Site survey: we walk the property and mark camera positions.
Plan: you see where each camera goes and what it will cover before work starts.
Installation: neat cabling with pure copper cable only. We do not use copper-clad aluminium (CCA). Here is why that matters.
Handover: we show you how to view and play back footage.
Service: the same team services the system after installation.

What affects the cost

We do not quote prices on this page because every house is different. These are the things that change the total:

Number of cameras and where they are placed
Length of cable runs, especially in multi-storey houses
Standard cameras or AI cameras
How many days of recording you want to keep
Outdoor weather protection for gate and boundary cameras

Questions to ask any CCTV installer

Is the cable pure copper or CCA?
Will someone visit and survey before quoting?
Who services the system after installation, and is it the same team?
Where is the footage stored, and for how many days?
Are cameras placed to protect privacy inside the house?
