The electrician in Al-Faisaliyah, Makkah you want for CCTV, intercoms and doorbells is one who thinks about the power feeding those devices before picking a camera spot. Our technicians in Al-Faisaliyah run camera and intercom cable in its own conduit, give it a stable supply, and fit doorbells and motion-sensor entrance lights, alongside every ordinary home and shop fault. Call or WhatsApp 0565564857; the line is open 24 hours a day.
Al-Faisaliyah has flats, villas and shops side by side, and each needs something different. A villa owner wants to see the wall, the gate and the car from their phone. Residents of a block want an intercom that opens the street door without going down. A shop owner wants recording that keeps going through an hour-long power cut. We design for each, starting with one question: what do you want to see, and from where?
Home and shop security in Al-Faisaliyah
- Main jobs: indoor and outdoor CCTV, audio and video intercoms, wired and wireless doorbells, motion-sensor entrance lights
- Cabling: camera cable in its own conduit, kept apart from 220V wiring
- Power: a dedicated circuit for the recorder, with an optional backup battery
- Viewing: the app set up on your phone before the technician leaves
- Price: set once camera count and cable routes are known, agreed before work
- Payment: after every camera is tested by day and by night
What Al-Faisaliyah homes ask for
Most requests follow an incident: a parcel gone from the doorstep, a scratched car outside, an unknown caller ringing late. At that moment people want a camera today, but one fitted in a rush, with cable stapled along the wall and a plug on an extension lead, fails after the first summer. We fit quickly, but in a way that lasts.
CCTV: placement before numbers
Three well-placed cameras beat eight that film walls. We walk the property with you and mark every point someone has to pass: the gate, the front door, the parking and, in villas, the side passage. Cameras go high enough to be out of easy reach, angled to catch faces rather than the tops of heads, and kept away from the setting sun and from neighbours’ windows to respect their privacy.
Outdoor runs go in UV-resistant conduit, since standard sheathing cracks in Makkah heat. The recorder sits indoors, out of sight and ventilated, on its own circuit so nobody switches it off by tripping a room breaker.
Intercoms in blocks and villas
Block intercoms are often old audio-only sets, and many have stopped because one wire broke in the riser. We test the line from the street-door panel up to every flat, repair what is there, or replace it with a video system that releases the electric lock. In villas we fit a screen in the living room and another in the kitchen or upstairs, so nobody has to walk down to see who is at the gate.
Doorbells: wired or wireless?
A wired bell is reliable and needs no batteries, but it needs a small transformer, and a dead transformer is behind most silent bells we fix. Wireless bells suit rented flats where the tenant does not want to drill, though their batteries need watching and their range drops through thick concrete walls.
Motion-sensor lighting at entrances
Cameras see far better in a lit entrance, and a light that snaps on when someone approaches deters more than any sign. We set sensitivity and on-time so it does not fire for every passing cat.
Security system faults and fixes
| What happens | Likely cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Camera drops out only at night | infrared draws more current than a weak power supply can give | replace the supply or shorten the cable run |
| Recorder keeps beeping | full or failing hard disk, or a disconnected camera | check the disk, set overwrite, trace the camera |
| Lines or interference on the image | camera cable running beside mains wiring | separate the routes or use shielded cable |
| Intercom rings but no sound | broken wire in the riser or failed door panel | trace floor by floor and repair or replace |
| Doorbell silent | burnt transformer or sun-worn push button | replace the part and check the cable |
| Cameras missing from the phone app | router settings or password changed | reconnect the recorder and reset the app |
No eye on your front door?

Call 0565564857WhatsAppA starting plan by property type
| Property | What we usually suggest | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Flat in a block | a camera at the flat door and a video intercom linked to the street door | we confirm the owner agrees before work in shared areas |
| Villa | cameras on gate, entrance, parking and side passage; intercom with two screens | recorder on its own circuit with backup battery |
| Shop | cameras on the till, door and frontage | continuous recording, plus frontage and sign lighting |
| Whole building | entrance, parking and roof cameras; intercom to every flat | cables labelled in the riser for later maintenance |
Will the cameras keep recording in a power cut?
Shop owners ask this first, and rightly so: anyone planning a theft knows an outage is an opening. A recorder and its cameras draw little power, and a suitable backup battery can carry them through most short cuts. We fit it between the dedicated circuit and the recorder and camera supplies, then switch the breaker off in front of you to prove recording carries on. Where voltage swings with ACs cycling on and off, we add surge protection to the security circuit, because small camera power supplies are often the first thing to fail.

What sets the price for cameras and intercoms
Electrical work varies a lot from site to site: one camera on a flat door is nothing like a full villa system with cable from the roof to the gate. So the technician sets the price after seeing the place, or after photos and video you send on WhatsApp, and agrees it with you before starting.
| Job | What sets the price |
|---|---|
| Single CCTV camera | indoor or outdoor, mounting height, cable run to the recorder |
| Full camera system with recorder | number of cameras, storage, dedicated circuit and backup battery |
| Video intercom | number of indoor screens, reusable old cable, electric lock link |
| Block intercom repair | number of floors and where the break is in the riser |
| Wired or wireless doorbell | distance from door to living area, transformer and cable condition |
| Motion-sensor entrance light | number of lights and nearest supply point |
WhatsApp us photos of the entrance and wall and we will give you the price before the visit.
Safety in security wiring
From the field: if you are building or renovating, ask for empty conduits from the board to the gate and wall corners for future cameras and intercom. They cost almost nothing at first-fix and save breaking walls later.
Warning: never share a conduit between camera or intercom cable and 220V wiring, and never run the recorder off a floor extension lead. If a camera power supply or the board gets hot or smells of burning, switch off the main breaker, never use water on burning electrics, and call us.
Common camera installation mistakes
- a camera facing the sun, so the picture turns white every afternoon
- exposed cable along the wall, easy to cut before anyone reaches the house
- the recorder sitting in the majlis in plain view, stolen with its footage
- the default recorder password never changed
- night vision not tested before the technician leaves
Districts near Al-Faisaliyah we serve
We work in Al-Faisaliyah and neighbouring districts such as Al-Khalidiyah, electrician in Ajyad and Al-Aziziyah, and anywhere else in Makkah on request. After each install, Gulf Al-Arab leaves you a short sheet with the new recorder password and each camera’s position, so small changes never depend on the technician.
