CCTV Maintenance & Monitoring

CCTV Maintenance & Remote Health Monitoring

Planned maintenance visits and CheckMyCCTV remote health monitoring keeping your system evidentially ready at all times.

Most CCTV faults are silent. Cameras fail, hard drives fill up, recording stops — and nobody notices until an incident occurs and the footage isn't there. SPS Technical combines planned maintenance visits with CheckMyCCTV remote health monitoring to catch and resolve faults proactively, keeping your system evidentially ready at all times across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber.

The problem

Why Silent CCTV Faults Are a Serious Risk

A functioning CCTV system looks identical to a failed one from the outside. There are no visible warning signs when a camera stops recording, a hard drive fills up or a network connection drops. Without remote health monitoring, the only way to discover these faults is during a scheduled maintenance visit — or after an incident when you need the footage.

The problem

Most CCTV faults are silent

Without remote health monitoring, a simple camera failure follows a predictable and costly path.

01
Camera fails or hard drive fills
02
Recording stops silently
03
No alert raised
04
Incident occurs on site
05
Footage isn't there
CheckMyCCTV interrupts this chain at step 2 — raising an alert the moment recording stops, before any incident occurs.

Remote monitoring

CheckMyCCTV — Remote Health Monitoring Between Visits

CheckMyCCTV is a remote monitoring platform that tracks the recording status and connectivity of every camera on your system in real time. Rather than waiting for a scheduled visit or a complaint, faults are flagged automatically and investigated immediately — giving you confidence that your system is working at all times, not just at the point of inspection.
