The threat in practice

Exposure window: Overnight and Sunday closure when the showroom and forecourt sit unattended.
The requirement that shapes the design
Ignore this and the system may work perfectly while still being the wrong system for motorcycle dealers.
- Insurer conditions for motorcycle stock often specify ground anchors or disc locks in addition to alarm and camera cover
Priority items, with the reasoning
- Audio challenge triggered by out-of-hours motion
- A live verbal warning is often enough to move an opportunist on before a bike is freed from any restraint.
- Camera coverage of the forecourt with overlapping angles
- Motorcycles can be walked or wheeled away in seconds, so continuous coverage without blind spots matters more than for car stock.
A common design error on this trade

Where CCTV maintenance contracts fit
A scheduled programme of inspection, cleaning, testing and reporting on an installed camera system, so faults are found before footage is needed rather than after.
- Multi-camera systems where a single failed channel is easy to miss
- Any site that has previously discovered a fault only when footage was needed
The limits, stated plainly
Being straight about the boundary is cheaper than discovering it after an incident.
- A contract does not prevent hardware failing; it shortens the time before you know about it.
A different option for the same problem
- Self-checks with an annual visit
- You are willing to check playback monthly yourself and want a professional inspection once a year.
The support call this sector makes most: forgotten CCTV recorder password
Once a system has been in a while, regain access to a CCTV recorder after losing the password is a common reason for a motorcycle dealer to ring.
Usually it comes down to default credentials changed by a previous installer, systems taken over from another company sometimes have non-default credentials nobody currently on site knows.
Before booking anyone, check any paperwork or photographs taken during the original installation.
What Robertsbridge adds to the brief
Property around the George Inn is largely modern detached on Northbridge Street and medieval high-street homes, which is worth saying on the phone so we arrive with the right access equipment.
