One of my retail companies signed on with Checkpoint Systems for their installation and maintenance of their new door pedestals and the corresponding Checkpoint tags for anti shoplifting.
The contract they signed also included a service contract for their camera system and other video and recording equipment. They thought they were completely covered.
They knew that Checkpoint tags are pretty low maintenance, and the door pedestals generally have minimal issues beyond the annual servicing and testing. Where they really wanted the service contract was with the camera system. It had been patch worked together over the years as funds had become available to invest in a camera or DVR system.
As the cameras would slowly break down, they discovered that Checkpoint Security Systems are limited on what they could do to repair them. Because most of the cameras had been bought at a discount, they were off brands with limited warranties.
The end result was that we spent more to replace the camera systems with proprietary branded Checkpoint Security Systems components. Their products are more reliable and are covered under their service contract making them a more affordable investment over the years. Instead of spending money on unreliable and unserviceable equipment may have saved money initially, but ended up costing much more over the long term.
