Why CCTV Maintenance is Crucial

Many busineses and homeowners invest in expensive CCTV systems but forget about them once installed. The reality is that a neglected security system might fail exactly when you need it—during an incident.

Regular maintenance ensures your surveillance is active, clear, and reliable. Here is why you shouldn't skip it:

1. Clear Visibility

Over time, camera lenses gather dust, cobwebs, and moisture spots. If not cleaned, your footage might be too blurry to identify faces or license plates.

2. Ensuring Recording Intergrity

We've seen cases where a DVR stopped recording weeks ago due to a hard drive error, but the owner didn't know until after a theft occurred. Regular checks verify that data is actually being saved.

3. Checking Power & Connections

Loose cables or corroded connectors can cause intermittent signal loss. Professional maintenance involves tightening loose connections and preventing rust.

4. Firmware Updates

Security vulnerabilities appear in old software. Updating your system's firmware protects it from being hacked or disabled remotely.
