CCTV Fault Finding, Repairs and Ongoing Support
A CCTV system can appear to be working until you need to review footage, only to find the system has stopped recording, the hard drive has failed, cameras are offline or remote viewing no longer works.
Sanders Secure provides CCTV maintenance in Plymouth for existing systems, including fault investigation, camera checks, recording checks, remote viewing support, system health checks and practical recommendations for repairs or upgrades.
We work with domestic customers, shops, offices, warehouses, hospitality venues, yards, commercial units, landlords, community buildings and managed premises that need reliable CCTV support from a local company.
Common CCTV Problems We Can Help With
Every CCTV fault is different, but many issues come down to recording problems, camera faults, network issues, app problems, damaged cabling or ageing equipment.
Camera Offline
We can investigate cameras showing no image, intermittent picture, poor night vision, damaged connections, failed power supplies or network-related faults.
Not Recording
If your DVR or NVR is not recording, has lost footage or is showing hard drive errors, we can check system settings, storage health and recording status.
Remote Viewing Faults
We can help where remote viewing has stopped working on apps such as Hik-Connect, DMSS or other suitable CCTV viewing platforms.
Network Issues
CCTV systems often rely on broadband, routers, switches, network cables and apps. We can investigate suitable network-related CCTV faults and advise clearly.
Damaged Equipment
We can advise on damaged cameras, failed power supplies, worn connectors, water ingress, broken brackets, poor images and equipment that may need replacement.
User & App Support
Moved into a property with CCTV or lost access to an app? We can review the system and advise on user access, settings and support options.
What We Check During CCTV Maintenance
A CCTV maintenance visit helps confirm that the system is still recording, cameras are operating correctly and the system remains suitable for the way the property is being used.
Typical CCTV checks can include:
- Camera image and position checks
- Recording status checks
- DVR or NVR health checks
- Hard drive status and storage review
- Time and date accuracy checks
- Remote viewing and app checks where suitable
- Power supply and connection checks
- Basic network connection checks
- Review of faults, alerts and user-reported issues
- Recommendations for repairs, upgrades or replacement parts
Clear advice after the visit
After checking the system, we will explain what is working, what needs attention and whether repair, maintenance or replacement is the most sensible option.
Where the system is old, unsupported, poorly installed or no longer suitable, we will explain the limitations clearly and recommend practical next steps.
Our aim is to help customers keep useful CCTV systems working properly, without pushing unnecessary upgrades where a repair or adjustment is more appropriate.
CCTV Systems We Can Support
Sanders Secure can support many existing CCTV systems, including modern IP camera systems, HD-over-coax systems and older analogue-style CCTV where support is practical.
Dahua CCTV
We regularly work with Dahua CCTV systems, including DVRs, NVRs, IP cameras, HD cameras and remote viewing through suitable apps such as DMSS.
Hikvision CCTV
We can assist with many Hikvision systems, including recording faults, camera issues, remote viewing support and system condition checks where access is available.
Other CCTV Systems
We can assess many other CCTV systems installed by other companies, subject to condition, passwords, access, compatibility and available parts.
Do You Need a CCTV Repair or an Upgrade?
Not every CCTV fault means the whole system needs replacing. In many cases, a camera, power supply, connector, hard drive, app setting or network issue may be the cause.
If your existing system is still suitable and cost-effective to maintain, we will say so. If the system is too old, unreliable, unsupported or no longer suitable for your needs, we can recommend sensible upgrade options.
For older systems, it may be possible to retain suitable cabling, upgrade cameras, replace the recorder or improve remote viewing without starting completely from scratch.
Repair may be suitable when:
- The system is still useful and generally reliable
- Only one camera or part has failed
- The recorder is still supported and working
- Remote viewing can be restored without major upgrades
- The cost of repair is proportionate to the system value
Upgrade may be better when:
- The recorder is obsolete or failing
- Multiple cameras are poor quality or unreliable
- The system no longer records properly
- Remote viewing is no longer practical or secure
- The system does not meet the needs of the property
