If the police asked for footage from last Tuesday, could you get it to them? And if a member of staff asked for a copy of footage of themselves, would you know what to do?
A chargeable, bookable service — cost confirmed with you before we attend.
The most common CCTV failure we find is a system that quietly stopped recording months ago, with no alert and nothing on screen to show it.
Recorder clocks drift and often reset after a power cut — a timestamp that's out makes footage far weaker as evidence.
Correct signage naming who operates the system, and access limited to named individuals rather than a shared login.
We attend, test that each camera is actually recording and retrievable, verify the timestamp, review your retention arrangement, and look at signage and access. You get a straightforward assessment of what's working, what needs attention, and what it would cost to put right — helping you identify gaps, not a legal opinion or a certification of compliance with any specific standard. This is a paid, bookable service: the cost is confirmed and agreed with you before we attend. If the visit identifies new equipment or additions worth quoting for, that follow-up survey is free of charge.
Book this visitIt depends on the service. A survey to quote for new equipment, an upgrade or additions is free and comes with no obligation. A chargeable visit — such as an alarm takeover assessment or a CCTV compliance check — has its cost confirmed and agreed with you before we attend, never on the day.
In most cases, yes. We regularly take on intruder, CCTV, access and fire systems fitted by others — servicing them, fixing faults, and upgrading where it makes sense.
Often, yes. We work on plenty of legacy and “obsolete” panels that other firms won't touch. Where a system genuinely has reached the end of the road, we'll say so and set out a sensible path forward.
We're honest about this: Apex Property Compliance does not currently hold third-party accreditation — and we're actively working towards obtaining it, as a clear goal for the business. What you get in the meantime is 24 years of hands-on experience and work carried out to the relevant British Standards. If a job specifically needs a certificate only an approved body can issue, we'll tell you that plainly.
