Remote monitoring · CheckMyCCTV
Know your cameras are recording. Before you need the footage.
A camera that quietly stopped recording three weeks ago is worthless on the night something happens. CheckMyCCTV watches every camera, recorder and hard drive on your site around the clock and alerts Signal Master the moment something fails.
How monitoring works
CheckMyCCTV is a health monitoring service, not a person watching your screens. Software checks the state of your CCTV system many times a day and reports faults to us, so the fix happens before an incident, an insurance claim or a licensing inspection finds the gap.
Camera and video loss
Detects cameras that have dropped offline, gone black, been knocked out of position or lost focus.
Recording and storage
Confirms the recorder is writing footage, the hard drives are healthy and retention is being met.
Time and date
Checks the system clock. Footage with the wrong timestamp can be challenged as evidence.
Fault reports and fixes
We are notified, we diagnose remotely where possible, and we attend when needed. You get a plain-English report of what failed and what was done.
Compliance reporting
Monthly reports that show your system was operating and recording, ready for gaming and liquor licensing inspections and insurers.
Built for licensed venues
For a pub, club or gaming room a working CCTV system is a licence condition, not a nice-to-have. Monitoring turns that obligation into a report you can hand over, and turns a Friday-night camera failure into a fault we already knew about on Tuesday.
FAQ
Common questions about cctv remote monitoring
Is someone watching my cameras live?
No. CheckMyCCTV monitors the health of the system: whether cameras are online, recording is happening and storage is sound. It does not stream or watch your footage, which also means nobody outside your venue can see it.
Does monitoring work with my existing CCTV system?
In most cases yes. It supports the major professional recorder brands including Hikvision and Milestone. We confirm compatibility during the site survey.
What does it cost?
Monitoring is a monthly service priced per site and recorder. Ask for it on the quote form and we will include it alongside any installation work.
