Fix Problems Fast:
Imagine if your favorite superhero had a broken gadget that stopped them from saving the day. That's like having a CCTV camera that isn't working properly. A pro can find problems with your cameras and fix them super fast, so they can keep protecting you.

For example: If a camera isn't producing clear images, it might be because the lens is dirty or scratched. Regular maintenance by an accredited professional will ensure that your cameras have the best chance to provide evidence that will identify the bad guy.

Make Sure Everything's Up-to-Date:
Sometimes CCTV systems need to learn new things. Professionals can update your cameras with the latest software and hardware to make sure they work the best they can. This helps them work even better, like giving a superhero new powers!

Keep Your Cameras Running Smoothly:
CCTV cameras need to be serviced regularly to make sure they stay in tip-top shape. A pro can spot small issues before they become big problems.

Example: If a camera's wires are loose or its fixing is not secure, it might not work well or even stop working altogether when it falls off the wall. A maintenance visit from an accredited security systems professional will include checks to tighten wires and screws. To keep your cameras working perfectly.

What does CCTV Maintenance cover?

By necessity, commercial CCTV security camera systems will have higher technical specifications than those designed to protect residential properties. And are often multi-camera systems with internal and external coverage.

For example, commercial systems can cover vehicle access points, car parks, building entrances and exits (including fire exits). And with cameras installed inside a building, customers and staff can also be monitored if required. Commercial CCTV systems can also come with specialist capabilities such as ANPR – Automatic Number Plate Recognition.

However, without the regular maintenance of your CCTV equipment, the same kind of faults and problems can occur in both commercial and residential systems. That's why you'll find much of the servicing and maintenance checklist applies to both home and business CCTV systems.

CCTV maintenance usually covers things like:

• Checking camera system components and connections for deterioration or damage.
• Testing mains power supplies and backup batteries - including their charging rates.
• Checking camera views aren't obstructed by overgrown shrubbery or other items.
• Checking that each camera is aligned correctly for the required field of view.
• Cleaning camera housings and lenses as necessary.
• Inspecting the integrity of all external cabling and cable fixings.
• Checking auxiliary lighting equipment and infra-red units where installed.
• Ensuring camera settings are optimised for working in variable light and weather conditions.

How often should you get your CCTV serviced?

For homes, once a year is enough. For businesses, service intervals should be annually at a minimum but it can be every six months or even monthly, depending on your needs... and your insurance requirements.
