You’ve invested in a professional CCTV camera system. Do you really need the annual service cover? How crucial is it to service CCTV cameras?
With professional CCTV installation, you’ll be offered a service plan. You may question whether this is worthwhile. After all, the cameras come with warranty, don’t they? Why bother with servicing for your CCTV system?
In truth, regular maintenance is going to make a significant impact on the performance and lifespan of your camera system.
Do you need a CCTV Service plan for your system?
Even the most advance cameras will under perform without the correct maintenance. Routine check ups can identify issues early, keep the system working efficiently and securely with firmware updates, and even prolong the life of your camera system.
A service plan which includes an annual system service is useful for anyone with professionally installed CCTV cameras. Issues which might otherwise go unnoticed can be picked up by trained technicians carrying out the service of your system. You’ll also benefit from firmware updates which can reduce the risk of bugs restricting your system. Ultimately routine servicing can impact the longevity of your CCTV system.
What about Warranty?
Warranty is great for covering your equipment. However it only stretches so far – both in terms of time, and what it actually covers. Maintenance cover is designed to fill the gaps. An annual system service gives your CCTV a thorough check up. It keeps your cameras working as they should, and doing the job you wanted them to do. Connections are checked. Equipment is inspected for moisture or environmental damage.
Dirt build up on cameras can obscure vision and be the difference between capturing key footage or not. Lenses which have moisture or muck causing blurred images are incredibly frustrating for you as the user. The reason you invest in cameras in the first place is to capture clear footage, so this is one really important part of camera maintenance.
Opting out of service cover for your CCTV really is cutting corners, and in the long run could end up much more costly than the cost of the maintenance package.
