CCTV System Health

You’ve made the decision to secure your premises, assets and staff using CCTV, the equipment has been installed and is used to review incidents as and when required, however did you know that even the best equipment can fail.

In trials of over 400 systems and on an initial test cycle, we learned some interesting facts…..

82%        -               Had outdated software

45%        -               Were recording for less than 30 days

31%        -               Had the system time out by at least 1 hour

24%        -               Incorrect Time zone/Daylight Savings time configured

16%        -               A Camera Fail condition

Thankfully 98% of the devices tested were all recording normally, unfortunately this means that 2% were not recording at all!

All of the above could happen in between your regular maintenance visits and could go unnoticed in the absence of a dedicated operative; an additional responsibility or overhead most organisations haven’t planned for.
