Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a CCTV Dealer in Chennai

When it comes to securing your home or business, installing a reliable CCTV system is one of the smartest moves you can make. But in Chennai, customers often make a few common mistakes when choosing a CCTV dealer — mistakes that can cost them time, money, and peace of mind.

Here are the top 5 mistakes you should avoid.

1. Choosing the Cheapest Quotation Without Checking Quality

Many customers compare CCTV quotes from local dealers with prices on Amazon or from new technicians. While low prices may look attractive, the reality is:

  • Cheaper products often mean substandard cables, connectors, and hard disks.

  • Short product life leads to frequent breakdowns.

  • Lower quality can compromise your security system’s reliability.

2. Buying from Amazon Without Verifying Authenticity

It’s tempting to buy CCTV products from Amazon, but there are hidden risks:

  • Products may be non-legitimate or duplicate units.

  • Many have expired warranties, making it impossible to claim service at authorized centers.

  • Most dealers in Chennai will not provide after-sales service for items purchased from Amazon or other sellers.

  • All Brand Service Centre will reject claiming warranty if you purchase from Amazon.

  • Low cost in Amazon: They may import without customs duty & GST. Products may be copy of the brand. May send Expired Warranty Products.

3. Ignoring After-Sales Service

CCTV installation is only the beginning — what happens when something goes wrong matters more. Unfortunately:

  • Many technicians disappear after installation.

  • Some don’t know how to troubleshoot issues.

  • A lack of after-sales support means your system could fail when you need it most.

Eye Tech Securities Advantage:
We offer insured, experienced technicians and an exclusive mobile app to lodge service requests — something no other dealer in Chennai provides.

4. Not Checking the Technician’s Experience

Even with top brands like Hikvision, CP Plus, Prama, and Dahua, improper installation can lead to poor performance. An experienced technician will:

  • Ensure proper camera placement.

  • Configure the system for optimal coverage.

  • Use high-quality installation materials for durability.

5. Overlooking Long-Term Value

Paying slightly more upfront for a professional dealer ensures:

  • Genuine, warranty-covered products.

  • Fast, reliable after-sales service.

  • A CCTV system that lasts for years without frequent repairs.

Conclusion

When it comes to CCTV installation in Chennai, don’t let price alone decide. Look for a dealer who offers genuine products, professional installation, and unmatched after-sales service.
