The video surveillance system is a complex combination of mechanics and electronics, over time, some components and connections wear out, are polluted. The equipment of the equipment indicates the characteristics of the resistance to the effects of various kinds (for chambers – dust, humidity, temperature, power) and service life.
Initially, the system is designed taking into account all these factors. However, the natural wear of equipment is also affected by:
Activity activity;
Environmental conditions;
Voltage drops;
Sources of thermal or electromagnetic radiation;
Human factor (banal hooliganism or vandalism).
For effective work without failures and “freezes”, the video surveillance system needs to be careful. Preventive inspection, testing, elimination of problems – this is an incomplete list of necessary procedures.
For the ordinary layman, the video surveillance system is an unclear camera + monitor system, and only specialists serving the video surveillance of large objects can tell you about all nodes and compounds, take into account all the subtleties.
After -warranty service of the video surveillance system includes the entire list of care, maintenance and repair work.
For simple systems, you can call a master once every six months for preventive work (cleaning, testing) or wait for the breakdown and use the services of a specialist.
For more complex systems, it is necessary to conclude a contract for maintenance. Depending on the scale of the installed system, there are several regulations prescribing certain procedures. The contract clearly stipulates the regularity and types of work performed by the service.
Monthly it is necessary:
Check corrosion fasteners;
Change the system time;
Check the operation of the system on reserve nutrition, batteries;
Make sure from the serviceability of servers and.
In emergency situations (when the breakdown has already occurred), it is necessary to establish the cause of the problem in a short time and eliminate it (repair or replace the worn part).
Support of video surveillance requires knowledge and experience. The best service is provided by the installer. All nodes and connections know its engineers, as they themselves mounted the system.
The optimal solution is the extension of the warranty service period, then the video surveillance of the object will be served by the same specialists.
In the case of extensions of the video surveillance system or its modernization, specialists who manufactured the commissioning most effectively mount additional equipment and synchronize electronics.
