CCTV IT Support at Movenpick Condo Tower - Progress Updade.
Introduction
Security and surveillance systems are critical to ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of residential and commercial properties. At Hibiscus Island, located within the prestigious Movenpick complex, property administrators rely on their CCTV system for round-the-clock monitoring of entry points, hallways, and shared areas. On June 3, 2025, the management of Hibiscus Island reported issues with their CCTV system, specifically the inability to access recorded footage and view live camera feeds. In response, Installersph IT Solutions dispatched a team of technicians to conduct a full site inspection and troubleshoot the system.
Scope of Work: Restore Recording Capability.
The original scope of work included replacing the old DVR and configuring the new unit for online access. However, based on time constraints and the client’s immediate needs, the IT team focused on the primary objective: physical replacement of the DVR and setup for local monitoring and recording. This approach allowed the building to regain video surveillance capability on-site while keeping online configuration open for a future schedule.
Replacing the Faulty DVR.
Upon arrival, the IT team conducted a quick site assessment and confirmed that the existing DVR was beyond repair. The faulty unit was safely removed, and a brand-new DVR—compatible with the existing analog camera infrastructure—was installed in its place.
The new DVR was mounted and wired into the current CCTV system. Channel connections were tested to ensure each camera feed was transmitting properly to the unit. Basic configurations such as system time, recording mode, and channel labels were adjusted based on the building’s operational needs.
Ensuring Immediate System Functionality.
Once installation was complete, the focus shifted to verifying that the CCTV system was fully operational for local use. Each channel was checked for video clarity and responsiveness, ensuring proper display on the connected monitor. The team also performed test recordings and playback checks to confirm that the hard drive was successfully capturing footage from all active cameras.
Although internet-based features such as remote monitoring and cloud access were part of the initial plan, they were deferred to a later phase in coordination with building management. For now, the priority was enabling the security team to monitor and review footage locally with no downtime.
Conclusion
The successful replacement of the broken DVR at Movenpick Condo Tower highlights the importance of responsive and focused IT support. While the full scope of work originally included online setup, the priority of restoring local recording capability was achieved efficiently and without delay.
Installersph IT Solutions remains committed to providing reliable service and will be ready to return for the next phase—bringing the DVR online for remote access when the client is ready.
