Security camera systems play a major role in the protection of your home or property. They allow you to both record and monitor what happens on your property. But what happens when your security cameras don’t work? Then you need to have security camera maintenance performed.
Security camera maintenance also includes preventative maintenance which helps to ensure that your cameras are always working when you need them.
Today we are going to talk about the two different types of maintenance and cover what you need to know.
Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance includes any type of work that is performed in order to ensure that the camera system does not go down. The most common type of preventative maintenance includes cleaning the camera system. Making sure that the lens are clear of any debris is an important part of making sure that you capture everything on camera.
Cameras that have been in place for a long period of time will be most likely to need a cleaning. Companies that maintain and install security cameras will be able to provide more thorough cleaning than wiping off the lens. They also can disassemble the housing in order to clean the whole device.
Certain types of security camera systems run on normal computers or servers. If this is true, security patches and updates need to be performed in order to ensure that hackers cannot access your computer. These updates also help to ensure that your system doesn’t crash.
The maintenance technician will inspect all of the cables that connect to the security camera system. This inspection is to ensure that none of the cables are damaged, frayed, or otherwise out of the normal. They will also make sure that all of the wires are firmly attached when their inspection is complete.
Monitors also need to be inspected to make sure that they are cleaned out and all of the attachments are plugged in properly. Checking that the monitor settings are correct will also make sure that you are seeing the best image possible. Your technician will also ensure that each camera is recording and performing as expected.
A lot of preventative maintenance measures might seam basic but they help to ensure that you have a fully working camera system. Some security camera companies will offer you preventative maintenance contracts that allow you to have service performed routinely and not have to worry about it.
