Hiring security personnel for your office premises doesn’t always suffice. No matter how competent your security officer is, they’ll always be susceptible to some sort of human error. We recommend raising your defenses by installing a CCTV system.

How to get the most out of it:

Location

 

You need to start off by assessing where you want to install the CCTV cameras within your premises. It’s important to find a spot that covers all the right angles. It always helps to install it and check whether it provides ample coverage. Think of the key areas that are easy for intruders to get through. Make sure your CCTV covers the darkest and most hidden spots, which are usually the hub of break-ins.

 

Obstructions

 

While we speak of location, you also need to make sure that the CCTV view isn’t obstructed. Ake sure there isn’t any debris or foliage obscuring the view. Keep the area free from anything that could possibly block the footage.

 

If a spider web covers the camera, you could lose out on some very important evidence regarding a case. You can also try multiple locations and see which one gives the optimum results and the clearest view. A good business security solution service can guide you through the process.

Preventative maintenance

 

If you take your car into the garage every once in a while for some regular upkeep, it’s because you want it to last long and care for it. Similarly, your CCTV equipment needs regular maintenance for optimum functioning.

 

When you sit down to clean your CCTV camera, always start with the lens. If your region sees a lot of bad weather, you might need to do so more often. Don’t forget to get your business janitorial staff to keep on removing the pesky spider webs every week.

 

You might need another cleaning session if the footage appears blurry or dusky. Besides, the camera itself is often susceptible to frayed wires. If you don’t want these to render the footage completely ineffective, get these issues addressed asap.
