⚠️ Avoid this cctv company

⚠️ Avoid this company at all cost and believe the negative reviews.

My experience with Khurram and their installer Ricky has been awful. Once they took my full payment, they ignored my emails and messages for months. I have had to keep chasing them and still the work I paid for remains incomplete.

To this day, I am left with an incomplete CCTV system, no receipt for my payment, and no resolution. I am now left with no choice but to take the matter to the Small Claims Court.

Their website claims “fast response” and “aftercare,” but that is simply not true. They do not take accountability or responsibility for their failings, instead they ignore and deflect.

Their behaviour and mistreatment towards me is unacceptable. As a paying customer, I do not deserve to be treated this way. They are refusing to compensate or refund me for unfinished service.

Reading the other negative reviews, I can see it follows the same pattern others have reported: poor communication, ignored customers, unfinished work, and no accountability.

This is not a professional or trustworthy company. They take your money but do not deliver. Believe the negative reviews and avoid at all cost.

We are sorry to read this review and strongly dispute a number of the claims made.

We do not ignore our customers, and we do not accept the suggestion that we took payment and failed to deliver without engagement or accountability. We hold records of our communications, attendance, and the works relating to this matter. We also do not believe it is appropriate to name individual members of staff publicly in this way.

While we are sorry that you feel dissatisfied, this review does not, in our view, fairly represent the full circumstances or history of the job. We remain willing to address genuine outstanding issues through the proper channel and invite you to contact us directly if you wish to seek a constructive resolution.

Disappointing Experience with Focus…

Disappointing Experience with Focus CCTV – Poor Service and Unprofessional Conduct
I regret engaging Focus CCTV for an installation involving previously owned equipment. From the outset, there were evident issues with both the setup and the level of service provided.

My husband followed up to seek clarity and resolution, but when the installer returned, he was discourteous and condescending toward us and our neighbour. This behaviour was deeply unprofessional and did not reflect any genuine interest in resolving the concerns raised.

Despite our efforts to communicate and reach a solution, the response from the company focused more on securing additional payment than delivering quality service or customer care. No formal receipt was provided, and we were left feeling disregarded and misled.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend Focus CCTV to others. There appears to be a lack of transparency, accountability, and genuine customer support, which are fundamental to any reputable service provider.

At the time of installation you made it clear that you had everything in place including the password. Once the install was complete it was only then you informed us that you did not know the password for the system. We happily got in contact with the manufacturers and reset the password for you. Also, i understand you are not happy with the location of the recorder but again, we came out before the installation for a free assessment and the location was agreed on. We have photos and videos to evidence this. When we came out to your property a second time we found that you have unplugged the system so it was off. I am sorry you feel that the service was unprofessional, this is something we hold vitally important but we have done what we quoted for and installed your system to a very good standard but the issues are no fault of our own (missing password) and we resolved them for you at no extra charge. We send out all receipts instantly via email which is an automated process and I will send it out again in case it had gone into your junk mail.

I find the positive reviews of this…

I find the positive reviews of this company difficult to reconcile with my own experience, which has been consistently substandard. The initial installation was poorly executed, with the camera placed far too low. Despite this, I gave the company a second chance, purchasing a new device and requesting another installation. Within just 18 months, the cameras malfunctioned—and instead of offering a solution, they insisted I pay for repairs. I declined.
Regrettably, I also referred this company to my neighbour, a decision I immediately came to regret. The installers turned up two days late and still arrived past the scheduled time. They provided no professional guidance, left the property in unacceptable condition, and proceeded to take payment despite the poor workmanship.
I have lodged multiple complaints, not only on principle but because I feel a sense of responsibility for the referral. To date, the company has failed to acknowledge or rectify the matter. We are now preparing to pursue legal action to recover the costs and address the unacceptable treatment we've received.

Hello Jennifer, I am sorry and surprised to read this review firstly due to you not being the client in question. The issues arose because you gave your neighbour your second hand cctv equipment and you had forgotten the password on the device. You didnt know the password for your old cctv system and you expected us to know this. Unfortunately, because the equipment is not from us, we would have no access to your password details. Touching on the area of being late, we discussed the rearranged appointment times with the actual client (you are not the client) which he was happy to arrange.

Our installers have returned to site for a second visit to ensure the client understood how to use your old system and we also advised to upgrade the recorder to one of ours which is much easier to navigate than your own online-purchased one. You actually had your old cctv upgraded to a new one by us in your own home because the old system didnt meet your expectations and now you have given this old system to your neighbour.

As advised by our staff to the client, we recommend upgrading the recorder box so not only will it be a brand new recorder that has carries a 3 year warranty on it but it has a very easy-to-navigate user interface and a mobile app. It will be the system you currently have got for your own property. Lesson learnt: don't use old unbranded equipment for your security as your bound to run into issues.

Quality alarm and quality company

We are very pleased with the survey for and subsequent installation of our new alarm. CCTV Focus are very professional in all of their dealings. The alarm is very effective and importantly easy to use. Our installer Haamid was polite and helpful. Haamid explained everything in good detail, talked us through the system and helped us to set up the app on our phones. The price quoted was a fair and honest one. We would have no hesitation in recommending this quality company.

Great service will use again

From the guy who came out to do the initial assessment to the installer fitting my cctv and alarm system, the experience was excellent. Would highly recommend
