Repair, retrofit, keep it running.

We Don't Walk Away.

01 · Repair & Troubleshooting

When the system stops, we trace it.

A camera goes dark, the intercom stops buzzing in, the app will not connect. Most of the time the fault is one bad cable, one failed port, or one setting, not the whole system.

We trace the signal from the device back to the rack and find the actual break. You get a fixed quote on the fix, not a pitch to rip it all out.

  • Signal tracing from the device back to the rack
  • Camera, intercom, NVR, and network faults
  • Failed PoE ports, cabling, and power supplies
  • Fixed-quote repairs, no rip-and-replace pitch

Built for: Homeowners · Offices · Any property with a system that stopped working

We trace it to the break, not guess

Typical service

  • On-site diagnostic and signal trace
  • Fault isolated to the cable, port, or device
  • Failed component repaired or replaced
  • System retested end to end
  • What failed and why, in writing

02 · Retrofit & Modernization

Keep the wiring. Lose the blind spots.

Older analog systems still pull a picture, just not one that identifies anyone. The good news: the cable in your walls is often fine. The camera on the end of it is what aged out.

We retrofit to IP and 4K, reuse the runs that test clean, and replace only what the upgrade actually needs. Current coverage, without reopening every wall.

  • Analog to IP and 4K camera upgrades
  • Existing coax and Cat5e reused where it tests clean
  • NVR and recorder upgrades with more storage
  • Phased upgrades to spread the cost

Typical service

  • Audit of existing cameras, cable, and recorder
  • Cable tested for reuse before anything is pulled
  • IP cameras and NVR sized to the property
  • Mobile app set up and handed over
  • Old equipment removed and disposed of

03 · Maintenance Plans

Caught before it fails.

Cameras drift out of focus, drives fill up, firmware falls behind. None of it announces itself. The system just quietly stops protecting you, until the day you need footage and there is none.

A maintenance plan puts the system on a schedule. We check it on a cadence, so the small problems get found on our visit, not on your worst day.

  • Scheduled visits on a quarterly cadence
  • Firmware, passwords, and config backups kept current
  • Lens cleaning, IR, and mount checks
  • Storage health and recording-retention audits

Built for: Businesses · Rental properties · Anyone who cannot afford missing footage

Service Record · Case File

The system someone else walked away from.

No installer to call. No drawings. Three brands and a closet of unlabeled cable. We take it from here.

Case notes

Plenty of systems get installed and then orphaned. The installer moved on, went out of business, or never left a single label behind. You are left with hardware you own but cannot service, and nobody who will answer for it. Sapphire adopts those systems. We learn the install, document it properly, fix what is failing, and put our name on keeping it running.

INHERITED · UNDOCUMENTED????3 BRANDS · NO LABELS · NO AS-BUILTAUDITDOCUMENTED · OWNED
  • Walk and map every node, then label both ends
  • Produce the as-built drawing that never existed
  • Log credentials, firmware, and warranty status
  • Hand back one owner's record, and a number that answers

Inherited chaos in, owner's record out.

System assessment

Inherited a system. Let's make it yours.

We start with an assessment: what is installed, what is failing, and what it takes to make it right. One visit, a clear writeup, a fixed quote. Then it runs, and it stays that way.
