Key takeaways
Practical guidance for KL & Selangor
Malaysian homes face tropical humidity, fast rain cycles, condo management rules, and mixed construction materials. That means the right method depends on surface condition, access, safety requirements, and whether water or structural movement is involved.
The safest approach is to shortlist the likely cause, collect clear photos, confirm the property type, and request an itemised fixed-price quotation. KL Servis Rumah confirms scope before work begins and avoids arbitrary pricing.

FAQs
How many CCTV cameras do I need for my landed house?
Most landed houses in KL/Selangor benefit from 6–8 cameras: front door, back door, garage, side gate, driveway, living room, and one or two perimeter coverage points. For a typical 2-storey terrace with a small garden, 4–6 cameras are usually sufficient. We do a free site survey and propose a tailored plan based on your property layout, not a one-size-fits-all number.
Wired (PoE) or wireless (Wi-Fi) — which is better for me?
Wired PoE systems are more reliable (no Wi-Fi dropouts, no battery concerns), record 24/7 to a local NVR (no cloud subscription), and typically last 7+ years. They are best for new installations and larger properties. Wireless Wi-Fi systems are easier to retrofit (no cable routing), record to the cloud, and are best for renters, condos, and small spaces. We recommend wired for landed houses and wireless for condos.
Can I view my cameras on my phone when I'm overseas?
Yes. All our systems support remote viewing via mobile app (iOS and Android). We set up the app on your phone before handover and walk you through the live view, playback, and notification features. As long as your home has internet and your phone has internet (Wi-Fi or 4G/5G), you can view your cameras from anywhere in the world.
Is CCTV legal in Malaysian condos?
CCTV inside your own condo unit is fully legal. CCTV in common areas (corridor, lobby) requires management approval and usually must be installed by a management-approved contractor. We help you submit the management application with the camera specification and position plan, and we have experience working with all major KL/Selangor condo managements.
