Today video security systems have become critical to homes, business and public places around the world. To make sure it is operating correctly is an important factor. This requires routine system healthy check-ups and maintenance. So here are some tips for maintaining a well-functioning video security system.
TIP ONE: KEEP LENSES AND PROTECTIVE COVERS CLEAN.
It’s always a good idea to keep your CCTV camera lenses and protective glass/bubbles clean.
