Like any system with electronic components and ever-changing technology, a video security system must be periodically maintained to ensure that it continues to function at peak efficiency. To keep your Monterey, CA home or business protected 24/7, periodic service and maintenance should be a part of your overall security plan. While the video security systems that Access Control Connection provides generally require minimal maintenance, we've encountered many homeowners and commercial business owners over the years who don't realize just how important it is to properly maintain and service their system, and that a “set it and forget it” approach is not the wisest choice – or the most cost effective.
Protecting your family, your home, and your business is incredibly important. If you’re reading this, you’ve taken the smart first step of having a video security system installed and configured to your specifications. But what happens once everything is in place?
While today’s video security technology is incredibly reliable, equipment failures can and do take place, due to weather, vandalism, heavy use, and other factors. Also, manufacturers periodically release firmware updates for video cameras and recorders, which are intended to fix bugs, address security issues, and ensure continued robust performance.
