Why Do My Security Solutions Need Regular Maintenance?

Security is paramount for your business or premises. Anything from the locks on your doors to the CCTV positioned around are vital to keeping you safe, as well as your stock, equipment and any confidential documents.

But it isn’t good enough to simply get these security solutions and leave them be, they require maintenance and upkeep. Whether this is taking a look at the software, or tuning up some faulty parts, servicing is key to ensuring your security is operating at 100% at all times.

Shuretech have put together this helpful guide with reasons why your security solutions need regular maintenance.

System Reliability

Your systems, while efficient, can be prone to wear and tear over time. This includes CCTV cameras, alarm systems and any sensors. Problems you could face could include footage not recording, alarms not tripping or sensors becoming uncalibrated.

Optimise Performance

You can also use regular maintenance to optimise the performance of your systems. With regular updates, you can gain access to software and firmware upgrades, as well as picking new security solutions to replace outdated ones, such as new security gates with added features.

Early Detection

Regular maintenance checks and servicing will help to identify issues before they become worse, which can often lead to more expensive repairs further down the line. Also if problems occur, you might be faced with downtime where security breaches can occur. The best way to prevent that is regular maintenance that will either control downtime or prevent it entirely.

Compliance

Some of your security systems might actually need regular maintenance to make sure they are compliant. Adhering to requirements can help you meet regulatory obligations and avoid penalties, as well as making sure your equipment is functional as possible.

Long-Term Savings

You will save money in the long run by investing in a maintenance package. Typically making a callout to repair and service equipment will cost a lot more money than if you have set up a maintenance schedule in advance. It can also save you money in the long term, as the financial losses associated with theft, vandalism or data breaches can cost a lot more than some simple maintenance.
