CCTV Maintenance​​

​​

CCTV planned preventative maintenance (PPM) is important for maintaining the effectiveness and reliability of your surveillance system. At I'm Covered 365 we know that regular, proactive maintenance helps detect and resolve potential issues early, ensuring your system continues to operate as it should. PPM involves inspecting the entire system, cleaning each camera and making small adjustments/repairs when necessary. This approach not only enhances the longevity and performance of your equipment but also ensures adherence to regulations and industry standards. With planned preventative maintenance, you can be confident that your CCTV systems will continue to safeguard your property and assets, giving you optimal protection at all times.
