CCTV Commercial Installation Warranty

Installation

All electrical equipment installed by Skyview Electronics comes protected by a 1-year manufactures warranty, unless stated otherwise. This warranty covers the repair or replacement of defective equipment (please refer to restrictions below), but does not cover any technical support, or onsite labour for defective equipment.

The labour cost portion of your original installation invoice covers the time spent onsite during the initial installation process only; it does not include ongoing or future technical support for the installed product(s). However, technical support is available with the purchase of an extended warranty. If an issue arises within the first 14 days, and it is determined by Skyview Electronics to be the fault of the initial installation process performed by Skyview Electronics – the cost of the service call will then be covered at no charge by Skyview Electronics. If the issue is determined to be anything other than an installation fault, (for example; equipment failure, acts of nature, tampering, etc.) a service call fee of $125 per hour, plus HST will be charged, plus the cost of any uncovered equipment replacement.

If applicable, the initial labour cost of networking (ie: setup of: mobile devices, laptops, remote viewing, modems, routers) within your location(s) covers the initial one-time setup of your equipment. It does not include ongoing or future technical support. However, technical support is available with the purchase of an extended warranty. At some point, some of your hardware may run a software update. This may cause the original settings to be overwritten by the update. Recovering these settings due to software updates is not covered under the initial installation fees. We advise our customers to create a screen capture of your settings, and ensure that you have made note of the password for your DVR. Then in the event of a software update, you can simply re-input the settings. Apple devices in particular, do a fair number of software updates and routinely wipe out the settings, so we highly recommend Apple product users to back up their settings somewhere safe.

All the equipment that has been/is being installed is programmed using the default Skyview Electronics settings. Skyview retains a copy of these settings for cases of future technical support. If a customer decides to change these settings, they assume the responsibility of keeping a record of them and providing them upon request if future technical support is required. **NOTE: If your internet service provider resets or replaces your modem, the settings in the DVR may automatically change. Skyview is not responsible to correct the DVR software settings, and this situation will result in either an onsite or remote access service call. Standard labor rates ($125/hr plus HST) will apply unless a valid service contract is in place.

Malfunctioning/Damaged Equipment

Our installers always provide a professional installation of your equipment and ensure that all equipment is working correctly and without problems on the day(s) that it is initially installed.

    3. If the problem is the result of defective equipment covered by equipment warranty, the standard labor rates ($125/hr plus HST) apply for the technician to come onsite, dismantle and replace the faulty equipment. The hardware costs will be covered under warranty or extended warranty if purchased.

You decide to remove the equipment from your building, returning the malfunctioning equipment to Skyview Electronics, where it will be determined if it can be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
