Why Regular Maintenance Matters for Your Security System
Maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs that keep your security ready
At Sipko Security, we look after the CCTV, alarm and intercom systems that protect your home so they continue to work the way you expect – day after day.
Dedicated support for Melbourne homeowners
We maintain and repair CCTV, alarms and intercoms across Melbourne – even if another company installed them – so your existing system stays stable, simple to use and ready when you need it.
Aiphone intercom installation near Brighton
Within roughly 15 km of Brighton we install and upgrade Aiphone video intercoms, creating tidy, reliable entry control for doors and gates that matches your home’s layout and daily routines.
Regular maintenance prevents silent failures
Without routine servicing, cameras, sirens and handsets slowly lose quality, creating blind spots and weak protection – a risk made worse by Melbourne’s coastal air, moisture and dust.
Longer life, fewer breakdowns, smoother claims
We clean lenses, test sensors, inspect wiring and update software early, extending system life, reducing surprise repair bills and helping you stay aligned with insurance and safety requirements.

Ongoing care for your CCTV, alarm and intercom systems
Security hardware is not “set and forget”. Our technicians look after the systems you already have in place, making sure they stay reliable, compliant and ready to protect your home when it matters.
CCTV systems
We clean and re-aim cameras, check recording quality, test hard drives and apply firmware updates so your footage is sharp and ready to review. If an image goes dark or grainy, we trace the fault and restore the system before a real incident occurs.
Our team can also tidy up old, messy installations and optimise remote access so you can quickly see what is happening around your property from your phone or laptop.
CCTV surveillance serviceAlarm systems
We replace ageing batteries, test sirens and sensors, review zone layouts and update user codes so your alarm works smoothly for every member of the household. Regular maintenance helps reduce false alarms and makes it easier to arm the system with confidence.
If you have changed doors, windows or habits over time, we can reconfigure the system so it matches how you actually use the home today, not how it looked ten years ago.
Alarm system supportVideo intercoms
From crackling audio to gates that no longer buzz open, we diagnose and fix everyday intercom issues for houses, townhouses and apartment buildings. Our technicians test door stations, indoor handsets, power supplies and gate releases to make sure visitors can reach you without frustration.
We also help homeowners and owners corporations plan upgrades from outdated audio-only systems to modern video intercoms with clear images and smartphone apps – often using much of the existing cabling to keep disruption and cost under control.

🚨 Troubleshooting Tips for Common Security System Issues
Simple checks homeowners can do before calling a technician
While professional maintenance is key, there are a few safe checks you can try yourself. These tips address common CCTV, alarm and intercom issues – anything more complex is best left to a licensed technician.
Quick fixes for camera problems
Start with simple, non-invasive steps to restore image quality and signal.
- Blurry footage: Gently clean camera lenses with a microfiber cloth and remove spider webs or branches blocking the view.
- No signal: Check that power and video cables are firmly plugged in, then restart the DVR/NVR.
- Poor night vision: Make sure infrared LEDs are not covered by dirt or cobwebs, and review night mode settings on the recorder.
Everyday alarm troubleshooting
Many alarm issues come from batteries, sensors or simple programming errors.
- False alarms: Check for loose or poorly mounted sensors, moving decorations or pets in detector zones; reduce sensitivity if available.
- System not arming: Replace backup batteries and confirm the control panel and keypad both have power.
- No sound: Inspect siren wiring or plug-in connections, then run a test alarm from the keypad.
Basic checks for audio and door release
Intercom issues often relate to power, wiring or gate/door hardware.
- No audio: Confirm the unit has power and inspect visible wiring for loose or disconnected terminals.
- Door not unlocking: Test the lock or gate release separately and check that the intercom power supply is on.
- Static noise: Look for loose conductors at the handset or door station and reduce interference from nearby electronics where possible.
These steps can resolve minor glitches, but persistent faults, damaged cabling or programming errors require professional attention. Sipko Security’s technicians can diagnose and repair issues quickly, helping you avoid further damage and keep your system running smoothly.

We look after residential CCTV, alarm and video intercom systems across Melbourne, including new installations and existing setups installed by other providers.
For most homes we recommend a full check at least once a year; coastal or high-use properties may benefit from more frequent servicing, such as twice a year or via a maintenance plan.
You can choose either: many homeowners start with a one-off visit and later move to a Basic, Standard or Premium maintenance plan for scheduled servicing and priority support.
Yes. We install and maintain Aiphone systems within roughly 15 km of Brighton and service a wide range of other intercom, CCTV and alarm brands used in Melbourne homes.
A standard visit includes visual inspections, lens cleaning, sensor and siren tests, basic wiring checks, and software or firmware updates where available, plus a brief report on any issues found.
Some tests require short interruptions, but we aim to keep downtime minimal and schedule the more disruptive steps at a time that suits your household.
You can gently clean camera lenses, confirm power to recorders, panels and intercoms, and look for loose plugs; if problems persist, it is safer to book a professional visit.
For most non-urgent call-outs we aim to attend within a few business days; for urgent security failures we offer faster, priority attendance where scheduling allows.
Yes. On request we can provide a brief service or fault report summarising findings and repairs, which many insurers and landlords accept as evidence of maintenance.
