Services
What I do
Every project starts with a free site survey, ends with a documented system that you understand and own.
Licence plate recognition (ANPR)
Automated gate access by plate, entry log, allow/deny lists. Runs on the Axis platform — no extra server.
Upgrading an existing system
Old DVR out, IP system in. Existing cabling reused where possible.
Why Axis
Not every camera is the same
Axis is the industry standard for serious video surveillance. Here's why I install them.
Reliability you can guarantee
Axis hardware ships with documented MTBF, long firmware support, and spare parts available for years. Cheap cameras don't talk about any of this.
Privacy by design
Local recording, encrypted channels, user permissions. Not a forced cloud with questionable legal status.
Edge analytics built in
Motion detection, ANPR, object classification — all on the camera itself. No extra server, no monthly cloud fee.
Software still updated five years later
Axis pushes regular security updates for years. You don't replace your system every two years.
Who installs
Experience from environments where reliability matters.
For years I’ve worked with video surveillance systems in high-demand environments where reliability, structured cabling, and long-term maintainability are not optional. That kind of experience quickly teaches you what separates a properly designed system from a cheap one: documented installations, local recording, carefully planned camera placement, and software platforms that remain supported for years.
Most homeowners are sold inexpensive cloud-based NVR systems — platforms that lose support after a few years and leave you with limited control over your own footage. CatEye Surveillance was created to bring the same professional approach to residential-scale projects: one installer, one clear line of responsibility, from the initial site survey to the final handover.
Data sovereignty
Your video. Your control.
Recordings stay on your premises. No Chinese cloud, no unknown third party.
Local recording
Footage is stored on-site, on a Synology NAS. It does not leave your property.
GDPR-compliant install
Signage, logs, data subject rights. I document what is filmed and who has access.
Encrypted remote access
If you want to view from your phone, the connection is encrypted and authenticated. Closed by default.
Vendor-independent
Axis is a Swedish manufacturer. Your camera does not "phone home" to unknown jurisdictions.
How it works
Four steps. Transparent process.
Free site survey
I come over and we walk through it. What you want protected, where the gaps are, what's possible. About an hour.
Solution design
Written quote: camera positions, models, recording, cabling, price. No surprises.
Installation
Proper cabling, clean fitting, everything tested on site. Typical home: one working day.
Handover and support
I show you how to use the system and leave the documentation. Warranty, maintenance options, and post-install support.

Frequently asked
What people ask most
A typical home install is one working day. Larger sites (older buildings, lots of cabling, multiple floors) may take two. The quote always specifies the schedule.
