PREVENTATIVE INSPECTIONS IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY OCCUR
Waiting until a critical incident occurs only to discover your security system isn’t working as intended can result in expensive repairs. You depend on your security systems to protect your staff and assets, so it makes sense that you have regular maintenance to ensure they are working optimally.
As a minimum an on-site preventative maintenance inspection should be completed at least once per year, more frequent inspections are recommended for high security and mission critical sites for cost savings.
Our preventative maintenance programs can also be tailored based on the customers risk profile and equipment age and condition, however as a general guideline the following tasks are undertaken.
Visual inspection
Testing alarm signals back to the monitoring centre
Checking the coverage and performance of all detection devices
Checking batteries and power supplies
Checking sirens and strobes
Checking environmental conditions
Checking quality and duration of recorded images
Run diagnostics on servers, storage drives and switches and optimize performance
Checking coverage and performance of cameras and adjust as required
Clean and check camera housings
Checking card readers for correct operation
Perform a system database backup
Checking door locks and strikes for correct operation and signs of wear and tampering
Testing alarm points
Checking batteries and power supplies
Each preventative maintenance inspection is fully documented by our team and a comprehensive report provided, with professional advice documenting recommended repairs any future enhancements.
