CCTV Maintenance

Why Do You Need CCTV Maintenance?

Failure to perform regular preventative maintenance on your CCTV system significantly increases the likelihood of encountering faults or, in the worst-case scenario, complete system failure. In the absence of active monitoring of CCTV monitors, you may remain oblivious to any existing issues until the moment arises when evidence is required from the cameras.

If you are aware that your CCTV system is not functioning properly, you are left solely relying on the visual deterrent aspect of CCTV. However, the inability to access or utilize crucial CCTV footage as evidence when needed becomes a significant drawback.

The risk of breaching, vandalism, and theft of assets at any business premises is already substantial. Nevertheless, without implementing routine checks and availing a maintenance service for your CCTV system, the potential costs associated with such incidents can be exorbitant, surpassing the expenses of CCTV maintenance itself.

Routine CCTV Maintenance is Important

NASS provides regular CCTV maintenance and inspections tailored to your specific needs and the environment in which your CCTV system operates. For instance, CCTV cameras in a private property are less prone to damage compared to those situated in a busy street accessible to the public. This factor is taken into consideration when determining the frequency of maintenance required.

Typically, we suggest monthly maintenance with a comprehensive evaluation of your CCTV system annually after our initial meeting. Additionally, we extend our maintenance services to include intruder alarms, gates, and fire alarms.
