Security · Software for cCTV and security system installers

Keep each site’s devices, visits and service calls on record.

CCTV and security system installers survey, quote and fit cameras and recorders, then live on annual maintenance contracts (AMCs) and service calls. The software turns survey notes into a priced quotation, holds the serial and channel of every device fitted, and runs AMC visits, complaint calls and warranty claims.

At a glance

The installation is the simpler part, because renewal depends on the following year, when a camera goes blank or the recorder stops writing to its disk. Trust is won in year two.

Every site you have wired needs a record of what is fitted and where it sits, from the bay camera to the switch in the riser cupboard. Dispatch is the other half.

How the work runs today

A shop, an apartment association or a factory asks for CCTV, and your engineer walks the site, marking camera positions, mounting heights and cable runs. Recording days per camera set the disk size. A quotation follows as a bill of material: cameras, recorder channels, hard disk capacity, Cat6 cabling, PoE switches and labour, priced from the survey notes.

Jobs run a day or a week. Many jobs add a video door phone, an access control reader, an alarm panel or a biometric attendance unit, each with its own serial. Cable drums, connectors and mounts go out from the store in the van, and whatever is left over should come back.

Apartments and offices sign AMCs with quarterly checks, and complaints arrive by phone when a camera goes offline, a lens fogs or a disk fails. A warranty replacement needs the serial and purchase date. The distributor wants both.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for cCTV and security system installers without a proper system.

Site details leave with the technician

Once a technician moves on, nobody else remembers where the cameras, recorder and cabling sit at his sites, so the next visit begins with a ladder and a guess. Knowledge walks out the door.

Serials are not on file when a device fails

The distributor wants the serial and purchase date for a replacement, but the bill is lost, so the claim lapses and a new unit is bought. Margin pays for the unit.

AMC visits depend on memory

Quarterly checks slip by a month or two, and the customer may learn that recording stopped weeks earlier, which puts the renewal in doubt. Memory is the scheduler.

Material issued to a site is not counted back

A cable drum and a box of connectors go out in the van, nothing says what the job consumed, and the store count drifts all year. Stock shrinks without a name on it.

Quotations are slow to build

Survey notes are on paper, and each quotation is rebuilt from scratch in Excel with prices copied from the last distributor list. Slow quotes lose the job.

What the software does

What we would build for cCTV and security system installers.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Site survey to quotation

Capture camera positions, mounting heights, cable runs, lens choice and recording days at the survey, and price a bill of material from them. Every revision is kept.

Device register per site

Record every camera, recorder, hard disk and switch with its make, model, serial, the channel it sits on, the area it covers and its warranty date. Nothing lives in a technician’s head.

Installation job cards

Open a job per site with the team assigned, days worked, devices fitted, cable metres consumed and commissioning steps such as focus and time sync ticked off. Handover is a checklist.

AMC schedule and checklists

Plan visits per contract, with a due list of lens cleaning, focus checks, hard disk health and recording playback tests for each site. Slipped visits turn red.

Complaint calls

Each complaint call is logged against its site and handed to a technician, then closed with the fault found and the part replaced. Repeat faults show by site.

Material issue and van stock

Issue cable drums, connectors, BNC and RJ45 ends and mounts to a job, count back what returns, and hold each van’s running stock. The store count holds.

Warranty claims and AMC billing

Raise a warranty claim on the distributor against the serial on file, and invoice devices, material and labour with the advance adjusted. An export to your bookkeeping tool is priced separately.

Common questions

Questions cCTV and security system installers ask before they call.

Does it watch our cameras or hold the recording?

No. Footage stays on the customer’s own recorder and disk, and nothing here logs into an NVR, so an offline camera arrives as a complaint call, not an alert.

Can each camera’s serial sit against its channel?

Yes. Make, model, serial, channel and mounting position are held per site with the warranty date, and a replacement claim is then raised from the record. The bill hunt ends.

Do access control and video door phones fit here too?

Yes, for installers who fit them alongside cameras, since the site register is set up during implementation to hold readers, door phones, alarm panels and biometric units with their serials.

Would a generic field service app do?

A generic app handles tickets reasonably well, but it has no device register, no survey-to-quotation path and no warranty claim trail. Bring the last ten sites you fitted, and we test a few of them against the register, the quotation path and the claim trail.

Which factors move a quotation for a security installer?

The base comes from site count, engineers and office staff. Survey-to-quotation, the device register, job cards, AMC schedules and van stock are priced as separate modules. A billing package to connect adds scope. Existing AMC lists and serial sheets to import count as well.

What should an installer keep ready before the build?

Keep a survey sheet, a bill of material from a recent job, the AMC customer list, serial records from the field, and a warranty claim form. Name one engineer lead and one accounts person to check each screen.

Do we keep customer sites and serials if we leave?

Yes. Site details, device serials, AMC history and warranty claims are your records, and the code is yours. Plain-file copies are available at any time. Support afterwards comes from whoever built it. Hosting stays at GullySystem, or moves if you ask.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.

Selling online

Also sell online?

The e-commerce pages cover the online side of this trade: storefronts, dealer ordering and the link to your stock.
