What to check
- camera view, focus and cleanliness.
- recording, time and retrieval.
- power, network and storage health.
- user access and reported faults.
Plan the next decision
Test the system against its intended viewing and retrieval task. A live image at one screen does not prove recording quality or evidence retrieval.
Define the person who can authorise work, the access conditions and the outcome required. Where the subject affects safety, security or compliance, use the competent assessment and premises-specific information required for that system.
Records and follow-up
Keep the instruction, findings, action taken, completion evidence and any open recommendation with its owner and due date.
Related work
Use the relevant commercial route, browse maintenance and contact the responsible business with the site-specific requirement.

See current official guidance. Apply it to the actual premises and recheck current requirements before relying on time-sensitive details.
Frequently asked questions
What should a CCTV check look at?
Check that required views and recordings are available and that authorised users can retrieve them. Include cameras, connections, storage and system settings in the agreed scope.
What changes may require another review?
Changed layouts, lighting, camera positions or recording needs can affect coverage. Review the system against its intended purpose.
