Security CCTV - Buy nice or buy twice

across Perth

We often have clients contacting us to install a CCTV system they have purchased from a retail store. Not realising these systems may not be the best quality or meet the requirements they are trying to achieve.

Lets' talk about our experience...

Something to consider is the cost of installation often out ways the cost of these CCTV systems purchased from your local retail store. We have all heard the saying buy nice or buy it twice. Well this is something to seriously consider if you’re contracting fully licensed security agents, security installers and electricians to install the system for you. We have been contacted by customers who want to remove these systems, after a couple years and install something of better quality. Some our customers do not realise that there are far superior security products, available from our security wholesaler.

 

We have run into issues with some owner supplied systems, the quality can be poor, if the cables in the kit don’t reach, cable extensions are required, and this has caused clarity and signal issues. It can be frustrating for clients, because if we have not supplied the system, then we offer no technical support and no product warranty. We offer a full workmanship warranty, but if you experience any product faults, then this is not our responsibility - as we have not supplied the products. If we need to return due to a product fault, you will be charged for labour. If we supply the system, then we organise all manufacturer warranties and product technical support.

 

Many of the owner supplied CCTV systems are low quality and low-resolution analogue cameras with a DVR. We recommend doing some research before buying, to figure out what resolution, what kind of cameras and features you need before purchasing.

There is a big difference between analogue and IP PoE cameras. Please research Analogue Vs IP cameras so you fully understand the difference - IP cameras have better video quality, better zoom in capabilities, larger field of view, digital IP cameras can provide resolutions 6 to 20 times higher, IP cameras operate over PoE, have better intelligence and remote manageability.

​

We understand that high quality CCTV systems may be out of your budget, however we do offer Humm interest free payment plans, so you can pay off over time. We offer premium HikVision products or more affordable entry level HiLook systems, all of our CCTV systems are IP cameras with an NVR that connect to your phone for remote access. We can set up advanced features such as line crossing and intrusion detection, with push notifications straight to your phone. See video example included on this page.

 

The quality and technology of our CCTV systems is very advanced, and the system WILL LAST! Not to mention you will have a full 3-year warranty, backed by a reliable and trustworthy company, with approx 200 excellent online reviews.

Buy nice or buy twice

 

Please understand that because of the items mentioned above we may decline to install your owner supplied CCTV system.
