We run a robust planned, preventative CCTV maintenance programme to ensure your premises and assets continue to be protected 24/7, 365 days a year. Our Services Brochure DOWNLOAD NOW Why Do You Need CCTV Maintenance? Without routine, preventative maintenance, your CCTV system is far more likely to develop faults or, worse still, fail completely. If CCTV monitors are not manned you may even be unaware a problem exists until the time evidence is required from the cameras. If you’re aware the CCTV system is not functioning correctly you’re left to rely solely on the visual deterrent effect of CCTV but, without being able to access or use crucial CCTV footage when you need it as evidence. The risk of any business premises being breached, vandalised and assets stolen is high enough as it is, but without routine checks and a maintenance service for your CCTV system the costs associated with this are potentially huge, and will always be more the cost of CCTV maintenance itself. CCTV Maintenance Services Our CCTV maintenance services encompass all CCTV components to ensure all aspects of your CCTV are working as intended, including: Cameras Wiring Recording equipment Our regular maintenance inspection includes: Camera lenses cleaned and debris removed. All cameras are inspected for damage, wear or degradation. Cameras have not been vandalised or interfered with in any way. The cameras have adequate view of the key areas they are monitoring. If any areas have since been obscured by foliage, for example, that this is assessed and recommendations made to clear the area as soon as possible. Any related motion detection setup is functioning and firing as anticipated. If the cameras are controlled remotely, we’ll ensure the PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) is functioning as intended and in real time. Ensuring all fixings that contain and protect the camera and attach the camera to the tower and/or wall are fastened securely. When assessing the wiring of the CCTV system, we make sure: There is no exposed or damaged wiring. There are no loose wires. Wiring has not been tampered with. The picture and sound transmission (if applicable) is clear and not affected by the incidental movement of any wires. When reviewing the monitoring and reception CCTV equipment, we ensure: All monitors are showing a clear picture, as intended. All operational switches and related equipment are functioning. All contrast, brightness and picture settings are set appropriately to cater for different light and weather conditions to ensure the clearest picture with the current setup. All footage is time and date stamped correctly. All recordings are backed up, stored for the appropriate amount of time. All stored recordings can be accessed, transferred and played back immediately and without issues. Routine Maintenance Cerberus offers routine CCTV maintenance and inspections at varying intervals based on your requirements and the nature of your CCTV setup. For example, CCTV within private property is less likely to be damaged than a CCTV camera located on a high-traffic street and accessible to the public. This is one such variable we will assess when recommending how regular your maintenance should be. In general, we would recommend maintenance once a month, with a deeper review and assessment of your CCTV requirements once a year following our initial consultation.
