CCTV Repairs in London

The main components of a CCTV Installation are the digital video recorder (DVR), the monitor and the cameras. In wired systems, coaxial cables are required to link the camera and feed the images to the monitor so that you can view the output. The images are then recorded on the DVR in the case of an digital system, or on a video tape in an analogue system. In remote or wireless systems, cables between the cameras and the monitor are not required, so that is one less component to fail, picture quality varies depending on the location of the CCTV Installation and whether you are using an analogue or a digital output.

There are, then, a number of components in a CCTV Installation which may need repairs at some stage. If you live in a high crime area, you will want your CCTV Installation to function at maximum capacity, with as little down time as possible. CCTV Repairs in London can normally be effected quickly as there are manyCCTV Installation Companies which provide repair and maintenance services so if you are based in London, you will have plenty of choice. In the event of your CCTV Installation requiring repair, you will be able to find a CCTV Repair company which offers a round the clock service. If you have a CCTVMaintenance Contract in place which also covers CCTV Repairs this will save you money in the long run.

For installations outside the big cities, there may be less companies who offer CCTV Repairs and round the clock service may not be available. If your CCTV Installation is broken or tampered with by vandals, it may take you longer to get an engineer to fix it for you. It will of course depend on how urgently you need theCCTV Repairs to be effected.

CCTV Repairs can be expensive and it will depend on the scale of your CCTV Surveillance System and which component is causing the problem as to whether it is cost effective to repair it or purchase a new component. Fault finding can be time consuming, especially if it is just a matter of a leakage on the coaxial cable as this may be the last thing which the engineer checks.

CCTV Repairs are generally dealt with by experienced engineers who have all kinds of testing equipment for monitors, DVRs and other components. If the fault is in one of the main components such as the camera it may not be possible to repair it due to the complicated electronics which make up the unit. If this is the case, it may be cheaper to replace the camera and integrate it with the existing CCTV Installation.

Engineers who are on call 24/7 will charge more for your CCTV Repairs and will charge a higher call out fee in addition to an hourly rate if it is essential that the CCTV Surveillance System is fixed out of hours. Costs for CCTV Repairs in London will attract London rates, making it even more expensive to fix any problems.
