CCTV Maintenance Checklist_ Keep Your Security System Running Like New

1. CCTV Maintenance Checklist: Keep Your Security System Running Like New Installing a CCTV system is one of the smartest steps you can take to protect your home, office, or business. But simply installing cameras is not enough. Just like any other electronic equipment, CCTV systems need regular maintenance to continue providing clear footage and reliable surveillance. In many cases, people only discover that their CCTV system is not working after a theft, accident, or security breach — when it’s too late. Dust buildup, loose cables, low storage, weak night vision, or recording failures can make your entire system ineffective. This is why routine CCTV maintenance is essential, especially in a city like Delhi NCR, where dust, heat, and pollution can quickly impact camera performance. This guide explains the complete CCTV maintenance checklist that helps keep your system operating smoothly — just like new. 1. Inspect Camera Lenses Regularly Dust, fog, fingerprints, and pollution can block camera lenses and reduce clarity, especially on outdoor cameras facing roads or open areas. What to do: ● Wipe lenses gently with a microfiber cloth ● Avoid touching the lens directly with fingers ● For outdoor cameras, clean once every 2–4 weeks A clean lens can dramatically improve video quality — even without upgrading equipment. 2. Check Camera Angles and Positioning Over time, cameras may shift due to: ● Wind ● Physical contact ● Vibration ● Birds or animals This can create blind spots, making your footage useless. Ensure cameras are: ● Still pointed toward the correct coverage area ● Not tilted, misaligned, or blocked by new objects (trees, banners, boards, vehicles) A quick monthly visual check solves this.

2. 3. Test Night Vision Performance Night-time security is when CCTV matters most. To ensure strong night vision: ● Check clarity when lights are off ● Make sure IR LEDs are working ● Remove cobwebs around the camera ● If footage looks cloudy, the IR light may be scattering — clean the dome cover If the area is too dark, consider adding: ● Small LED lighting ● Motion sensor lights ● Cameras with Color Night Vision 4. Inspect All Cables and Power Supplies Loose wiring or damaged power adapters lead to: ● Flickering screens ● Recording failure ● Cameras randomly turning off Check for: ● Exposed or chewed cables (common near rooftops and outdoor walls) ● Loose connectors ● Overheated power adapters ● UPS backup condition If you see flickering or black screens — fix immediately. 5. Monitor Storage and Recording Backup Your DVR/NVR stores footage, but if storage is full or corrupted, recording may stop. You should: ● Check recording playback for the last 30–60 days ● Verify storage capacity and free space

3. ● Look for any “Recording Overwrite” or “Disk Error” alerts ● Upgrade storage if more cameras or longer backup is needed Tip: CCTV footage should be backed up before festivals, holidays, vacations, or long office closures. 6. Keep Your System Software Updated Just like smartphones, DVRs/NVRs and IP cameras get firmware updates. Updating software ensures: ● Better performance ● Bug fixes ● Improved motion detection ● Stronger security protection from hacking Ask your CCTV service provider to update firmware during maintenance. 7. Test Remote Monitoring and Mobile Viewing Most modern CCTV systems allow you to view live footage from your: ● Smartphone ● Laptop ● Office computer Make sure: ● The mobile app is logged in ● Passwords are updated and not shared with unauthorized people ● Internet connection is stable ● No device has access that shouldn’t Remote monitoring keeps you connected even when you’re away. 8. Schedule Professional Maintenance Twice a Year While basic cleaning can be done at home, professional servicing is important at least every 6 months. Professional maintenance includes: ● Complete system health check ● Cable and voltage testing

4. ● Camera re-positioning ● Recorder and network optimization ● Detailed night vision and sensor testing This ensures your CCTV system stays reliable 24/7.
