CCTV Service, Repair & Maintenance
A1 Security can carry out servicing of your CCTV system annually as part of a maintenance contract or as a one-off service visit. Our fully trained engineers will prepare a report detailing their findings along with any suggestions to improve system performance.
As part of our Maintenance Contract if your CCTV System develops a fault, an engineer’s visit will be arranged as soon as possible and, on most occasions, the same day. If you are under a Maintenance Contract the cost of a call-out is charged at a lower rate than if you were a non-contract customer.
