What to check
- image against the viewing objective.
- recorder capacity and reliability.
- software support and cyber security.
- lighting, cabling and changed site layout.
Plan the next decision
Start with the required evidence and operational purpose. Repositioning, lighting or maintenance may solve a problem that a like-for-like camera replacement would not.
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
Should every upgrade replace the whole system?
Assess the existing equipment and the required coverage first. A targeted change may be suitable, while compatibility or performance limitations may justify wider replacement.
What should I provide for an upgrade assessment?
Send equipment details, known faults and the views or recordings you need. Explain changes to the building or how it is used.
