Frequently Asked Questions
How should I Judge/Compare Surveillance Installers?
1. Long-Term Partnership & Post-Completion Support
Does your installer have a proven track record of supporting their projects long after the completion date? Think about it. A surveillance system isn’t a ‘set it and forget it’ solution. Technology changes, issues can arise, and you’ll inevitably have questions. A true partner provides ongoing support, maintenance, and is there to help you maximize your investment for the entire life of that project. We’re talking proactive service, timely troubleshooting, and genuine commitment to your system’s longevity. If they can’t show you a history of satisfied, long-term clients, that’s a red flag.
2. Comprehensive Project Documentation
Do the installer provide thorough documentation of the project at its conclusion? This is absolutely critical, but often overlooked. We’re talking about ‘as-built’ documents, continuity binders, or detailed system diagrams. Why does this matter? Imagine needing to troubleshoot an issue years down the road, or wanting to expand your system. Without proper documentation, it’s like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded. Professional installers provide you with the roadmap to your system, empowering you with the information you need for future maintenance, upgrades, and understanding exactly how everything is connected.
3. Professional Installation & Aesthetics ('The Eye Test')
Does the project pass the ‘eye test’? This isn’t just about looks; it’s a direct reflection of attention to detail and craftsmanship. Look at the installation of the structured cabling – is it neat, organized, and properly secured? How is the hardware stacked and connected? Does it look professional? Beyond functionality, consider the context of its location. Does the installation look like it fits and molds seamlessly to your building, or does it stick out like a sore thumb? A professional installation is visually appealing, durable, and shows an uncompromising commitment to quality that will last for years to come.
Surveillance Project Bids
What information should you ask for?
Camera Types and Placement
Will the quote detail the specific camera models (e.g., dome, bullet, PTZ), their resolution, and proposed locations on a floor plan or site map? (This helps them understand coverage and quality.)
Night Vision/Low-Light Performance
How will the system perform in various lighting conditions, especially at night? (e.g., infrared range, full-color night vision capabilities).
Storage Capacity & Retention
How much footage will be stored, and for how long? Is it local, cloud-based, or a hybrid? What are the implications of each for security and accessibility?
Remote Access Capabilities
How easy is it to access live and recorded footage remotely (e.g., via mobile app, web portal)? What are the features of the remote viewing platform?
Scalability
Is the system designed to be easily expanded in the future if my needs grow? What are the considerations or potential costs for adding cameras or features later?
Integration with Existing Systems
Can the new surveillance system integrate with any existing security systems (e.g., access control, alarm systems) I might have or plan to install?
Analytics and Smart Features
Does the system include any advanced analytics (e.g., motion detection, facial recognition, license plate recognition, people counting, intrusion detection)? If so, how are these utilized and configured?
Power Redundancy/Backup
What happens if there’s a power outage? Does the system have a battery backup (UPS), and if so, for how long will it continue to record?
Installation Methodology/Aesthetics
How will cables be run (e.g., concealed, conduit)? What measures are taken to ensure a clean, professional, and aesthetically pleasing installation? (This ties into your “eye test” principle.)
Site Survey and Design Process
Was a thorough site survey conducted to understand my specific needs and unique property challenges before the quote was provided?
Disruption to Operations (Commercial)
If this is a commercial installation, what steps will be taken to minimize disruption to our daily operations during the installation process?
Ongoing Maintenance & Support Plans
Do you offer ongoing maintenance contracts or service level agreements (SLAs)? If so, what do they include (e.g., software updates, hardware checks, priority support)? What are the costs?
Cybersecurity Measures
What measures are taken to secure the surveillance system from cyber threats (e.g., secure remote access, regular firmware updates, network segmentation)?
Disposal of Old Equipment
If applicable, will the installer assist with the safe and responsible disposal of old surveillance equipment?
Payment Terms
What are the payment terms (e.g., deposit, progress payments, final payment)?
Itemized vs. Lump Sum
Is the quote itemized, clearly breaking down costs for hardware, software, labor, and other services? (This helps compare specific components).
