Syed Faizan Shah and the team at Nagina Chowk

A local shop that does the installation itself

Faizan CCTV & Networking Shop is run by Syed Faizan Shah from Nagina Chowk, Pakpattan. Over more than four years he has installed and repaired CCTV systems for homes, shops, plazas, banks, schools, farms and institutions across Pakpattan and the surrounding cities.

The shop sells cameras, recorders, hard drives and networking equipment, but most of the work happens on site. Faizan surveys jobs himself, plans the camera points, and checks the finished system at night before handing it over. Customers deal with the person who designed their system, not a call centre.

Baba Fareed Darbar

The most demanding project so far has been CCTV work at the Darbar of Baba Fareed Ganj Shakar in Pakpattan. It is one of the most visited shrines in Punjab, with very large crowds during the annual Urs, several entrances and a need for recording that never stops.

Working on a site like that teaches lessons you don't learn on a 4-camera house: plan for the busiest day, protect cable runs from crowds and weather, keep the recorder cool and on backup power, and make it easy for the administration to find footage quickly. We bring those habits to every job, whatever its size.

CCTV and networking together

As more systems move to IP cameras, CCTV and networking have become the same job. A camera is only as reliable as the cable, the switch and the router behind it. That is why the shop does both: LAN cabling, PoE switches, network racks and Wi-Fi alongside camera installation.

How we work

We give honest advice, including when a cheaper option is enough. We quote in PKR on WhatsApp so you have it in writing. We use genuine Hikvision and Dahua equipment. And we repair systems installed by others without running down the last installer.
