Daily Maintenance Checklist for Your Surveillance System

Proper daily maintenance ensures your security cameras and equipment function effectively, minimizing downtime and costly repairs. Follow these steps to maintain your system:

1. Inspect Camera Lenses

Clean the Lenses: Dust, dirt, or water spots can obscure the view. Use a microfiber cloth or lens cleaner to keep lenses clear.
Check for Obstructions: Ensure no objects, branches, or debris block the camera's view.

2. Test Camera Feeds

Verify Live Feeds: Log into your system daily to confirm that all cameras are streaming live footage without interruptions.
Check Video Quality: Look for blurry or distorted images that may indicate a need for adjustments or repairs.

3. Examine Power Sources

Inspect Power Cables: Ensure all cables are securely connected and free of damage.
Check Battery Levels: For wireless cameras, monitor battery life and replace or recharge as needed.

4. Review Motion Detection Settings

Test Motion Alerts: Walk through the coverage area to ensure motion sensors are detecting activity accurately.
Adjust Sensitivity: Fine-tune detection settings to avoid false alarms caused by small animals or environmental factors.

5. Monitor Recording and Storage

Check Storage Capacity: Confirm that your DVR, NVR, or cloud storage has sufficient space for new recordings.
Archive Important Footage: Regularly back up critical footage to prevent loss during system resets or failures.

6. Update Software and Firmware

Install Updates: Check for and apply software or firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
Verify Compatibility: Confirm updates are compatible with your existing equipment.

7. Inspect Physical Mounts and Housing

Tighten Mounts: Ensure cameras are securely mounted to prevent misalignment or damage.
Check Weatherproofing: For outdoor cameras, inspect seals and enclosures to protect against water and dust.
