See Your Property From Anywhere. Even the Diaspora.

Property Watch is complete CCTV and surveillance coverage for your building — gate, perimeter, parking, corridors — with remote viewing so absentee owners and property managers never lose visibility.

  • ✓Hikvision cameras, 4–32 units
  • ✓TRA-compliant configuration
  • ✓Remote mobile viewing — anywhere
  • ✓30-day post-install support

Property Watch is a complete CCTV and surveillance package for Kenyan apartment blocks, gated communities, villas and commercial buildings — Hikvision IP cameras with an NVR and remote mobile viewing — from KES 65,000 as a one-off.

It gives a property evidence-grade security and, crucially, lets an absentee or diaspora owner watch their building live from a phone anywhere in the world. Exbit Technologies sizes the Hikvision camera count to the property, installs an NVR with 30-day retention, weatherproofs every external camera, and configures night vision and motion-triggered recording.

Commercial premises are configured to TRA-compliant standards with documentation delivered at handover, and "24/7 CCTV Surveillance" signage doubles as visible deterrence and a marketable amenity that defends rent levels and reduces vacancy.

Who it's for

Apartment blocks of 20–200 units, gated communities, villas, commercial and office buildings, and mixed-use developments — especially absentee, upcountry and diaspora owners who need eyes on their property remotely.

What you gain beyond cameras

Property Watch means evidence exists when an incident happens, ending disputes with guards, tenants and insurers. Documented surveillance negotiates insurance premiums down, TRA compliance is satisfied on commercial premises, and "24/7 CCTV" becomes a listing feature that retains tenants and justifies the service charge.

Deployment timeline: Most installations complete within a few days; camera count and cable routing set the schedule, confirmed at the free site survey.

How Property Watch fits with Property Connect and Property OS

Real estate has two parallel entry doors — security (Property Watch) and cabling (Property Connect) — that consolidate into the full building bundle, Property OS.

Break-ins with no evidence. Owners with no visibility.

🚨

Break-ins with no evidence

Disputes with guards, tenants and insurers drag on for weeks because there's no footage to settle them.

🌍

Absentee owners have zero visibility

Owners in Nairobi, Mombasa, or the diaspora have no way to see what is actually happening at their property.

📋

TRA compliance risk on commercial premises

Missing or misconfigured CCTV creates audit exposure for commercial buildings.

🏢

Tenant churn after incidents

A single unresolved security incident can push tenants to leave — and makes vacant units harder to fill.

Property Watch — full coverage, remote access, TRA-ready.

📷

Hikvision IP cameras — 4 to 32 units

Gate, perimeter, parking, corridors, lifts and common areas covered end to end.

Questions from property owners and managers

How many cameras does my property need?▾
Depends on size: villas and small blocks typically need 4–8 cameras (from KES 65K), mid-size blocks 8–16 (from KES 110K), and large gated communities 16–32 (from KES 180K). Final scope is set during a free site survey.
Can I really view my property from abroad?▾
Yes — the mobile app gives live view and playback from anywhere with internet access, which is why this is the standout feature for diaspora and absentee owners.
Is this compliant for a commercial building?▾
Yes. We configure every install to TRA-compliant standards for commercial premises and deliver compliance documentation at handover.
Can we add internet cabling at the same time?▾
Yes — while the engineer is on-site, adding structured cabling (Property Connect) is a natural cross-sell that saves on a second call-out.
How much does apartment CCTV installation cost in Nairobi?▾
Property Watch apartment CCTV installation in Nairobi starts from KES 65,000 for a villa or small block (4–8 cameras), around KES 110,000 for a mid-size block (8–16 cameras) and from KES 180,000 for a large gated community (16–32 cameras). Every package includes an NVR with 30-day retention, remote mobile viewing and weatherproof housings, with the final price fixed by a site-survey quote.
