Warranties
EQUIPMENT & INSTALLATION WARRANTIES
Warranties are a most important and many times over looked
essential when purchasing security equipment and selecting an
installer. For example, a gate motor should have a manufacturer’s
warranty of 5 years, cameras & DVRs at least 2 years, installation
(depending on what is to be installed) 3 months to a year. Your
bottom line should always be “if a manufacturer or installer is
not willing to warrant their equipment or labor, don’t use
them.”
Many times we’ve seen communities pay for service and repair of
existing equipment and labor charges that should have been covered
under some type of warranty because proper records were not
available. We suggest that a file be opened for each purchase with
name of equipment, manufacturer and date of purchase, warranty
information and maintenance records. We feel that your savings,
both in dollars and aggravation, will be substantial.

PURCHASING TIPS
- Do your due diligence and thoroughly research the product,
the manufacturer and the installer.
- When comparing prices or proposals, make sure that you are
comparing “apples to apples”: the same product and the same
or an equivalent manufacturer, both serving your individual
purchase needs.
- Researching your installer to determine how long have they
been in the industry, are they insured, do they have
references, what type of warranties do they offer and, most
importantly, are they service responsive.
- What solutions best meet the concerns causing you to look
into a purchase? If tailgating at an exit gate is allowing cars to
enter through the exit, look to barrier arms rather than spike
strips to correct the problem. Do you need night views of an
area? Be sure to use an IR or low-lux camera. The right
equipment for a job will save money, time and headaches.
