How Often Should You Conduct CCTV Maintenance?
The frequency of maintenance depends on several factors:
· Type of system: Analogue systems typically require less maintenance than IP systems.

- Usage: Heavily used systems require more frequent maintenance than those used less frequently.
General Maintenance Guidelines:
· Visual inspection: Regularly check for physical damage, loose cables, and dirt buildup on cameras and lenses.
· Cleaning: Clean camera lenses with a soft, microfiber cloth to ensure optimal image quality.
· Software updates: Apply firmware and software updates as they become available to patch vulnerabilities and improve performance.
