When you invest in a security system you are relying on that technology to fulfill an extremely important function: keeping your people & property safe. The unfortunate reality of technology is that it does require maintenance, and systems without care often fail. It is important to understand that to keep your systems functioning properly both predictive and preventative maintenance are required. The Set it and forget it simply will not work. The solution? Routine maintenance by a certified technician.
Your security system is no different from any other device in the matter of wear and tear. Over time, security system components are known to deteriorate. It is imperative to maintain all these components, including security cameras, access control systems, proximity sensors, doors, latches, and so forth, in order to ensure their proper function and provide your property and your employees with a safe work environment. These systems must also be updated with the latest firmware and software version. The lack of a current Software license agreement will limit functionality and prohibit the expansion of the system. Often systems that have not been updated are more susceptible to cyber and software breaches.
Preventing possible failures of your security system is a way to avoid unwanted situations that could have a dramatic effect. In the event that one of the cameras or sensors within your system is not working, you now have a vital gap that allows intruders to enter your facility without your knowledge. To protect your people and your assets, it is beneficial to enroll in a routine security system maintenance program. But what does that look like?
