CCTV Camera and Recorder Device Register

Every device fitted at a site is listed here with its serial and channel. Service staff and warranty claims both read this register instead of going back to the premises.

What is held against each device

Make, model and serial

The model as the distributor invoices it, and the serial printed on the unit, scanned or typed in at the site. The carton is not needed later.

Channel and position

The recorder channel and the position label from the survey, such as main gate, lift lobby or stock room.

Fitted and warranty dates

The date the unit went up and the warranty period the maker gives, so an expired unit is obvious before a claim is raised.

Recorder and disk

Channel count, firmware noted at commissioning, disk size and the recording days the site was set to keep.

Replacements

When a unit is swapped, the old serial is retired and the new one takes its channel. The history stays visible.

Who reads the register

Service technicians

Check which model sits on the failing channel before leaving the office, and carry the right spare.

The office

Answers a customer asking which cameras are still in warranty, without sending anyone to the premises.

Store and purchase

See which models are out in the field, which matters when a distributor discontinues a line.

What the register is not

This is a record of hardware, not a video system. Footage stays on the customer’s own recorder and disk, and GullySystem never holds a video stream. A technician who reads the register before leaving the office already knows the model, the channel and the position of the unit that has failed. The register does not watch whether a camera is online either. An offline camera becomes a complaint call when the customer or your technician reports it.

What the client decides

Whether serials are scanned from the carton or typed by hand
The position labels used across homes, shops and apartment sites
How long each site keeps recordings, agreed with the customer
Which staff may retire a serial from the register

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can serials be read with a scanner?

Yes, where the carton carries a barcode. The scanner and label printer models are confirmed during scoping.

Will it tell us a camera has gone offline?

No. The register holds device records, and an offline camera is raised as a complaint call.

Can devices put up by an earlier installer be added?

Yes. Whatever is already on the wall can be entered when you take a site over on AMC.

How is a failed hard disk recorded?

The old disk is retired against the recorder and the new one entered, with the claim linked if it was in warranty.
