We recommend home and business owners, take a minute and go through the below checklist if you have a video surveillance system. You might be surprised what you find. Surveillance systems provide an extra set of eyes and security but only when the cameras are working, the review/backup function is accessible and the camera view isn’t obstructed. Make sure your system is ready to provide you that back up support, if you ever need it!
– Do you know your username and password?
– Is the date and time correct?
– Are all the cameras working?
– Are the camera lenses clear of dust, debris and cobwebs?
– Are the camera views unobstructed by trees, shrubbery, and structural overhangs?
– Are the cameras in recording mode or live view only?
