Preventive Maintenance Contracts

Comprehensive Preventive Maintenance Contracts for Security Systems in the Tri-State Area

Advanced Security Technologies (AST) provides comprehensive Preventive Maintenance Contracts to keep security systems operating reliably. Organizations across Tri-State Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and surrounding areas depend on AST to reduce equipment failures, maintain compliance, and extend the lifespan of their security infrastructure. With more than 30 years of field experience, AST delivers structured maintenance programs for video surveillance, access control, alarm systems, servers, and networked security devices.

Security systems require routine care. Cameras drift out of alignment, firmware becomes outdated, storage systems degrade, and environmental factors affect device performance. A preventive maintenance contract ensures consistent system health and dependable operation.
