Security System Maintenance

Why a robust security network matters

Whether you’re a business owner or manage a commercial property, ensuring your facilities are equipped/safeguarded with a tight security network is an integral part of facility maintenance. These security measures will help ensure your building and assets (both physical and intellectual) are protected, your employees safeguarded, and your daily operations run smoothly. Preventing theft and damage increases employee safety, peace of mind and provides you with a deterrent for potential break-ins, vandalism, violence, and theft.

• SFG20’s set of security maintenance schedules provide the guidance and tasks to properly maintain all your security systems and equipment to maximise safety and support insurance requirements.
• Our extensive set of security schedules is essential for ensuring your security systems work optimally and operate as designed. It includes alarms, security doors, communication devices, laser systems, and much more.

Proactively secure your business with Preventative maintenance

Preventative maintenance is a proactive approach to maintaining the functionality and reliability of security systems. It involves regularly scheduled inspections, tests, and repairs to identify and fix potential issues before they become problems. Some examples of preventative maintenance tasks for security services include:

• Testing and inspecting alarm systems, to ensure they are functioning properly.
• Testing and inspecting surveillance cameras and other monitoring equipment to ensure they are working properly and providing clear images. It’s important to note that the necessary signage should also be in place to comply with current data protection legislation.
• Cleaning and maintaining all security equipment, including cameras, sensors, and alarms, to ensure they are in good working order.
• Testing and inspecting security systems to ensure they are properly integrated and working together as a cohesive system.

By regularly performing preventative maintenance on security systems, you can help to ensure that they are functioning properly and can effectively protect your property and assets.

Components of a business security system requiring preventative maintenance

There are several components of a business security system that may require preventative maintenance, including:

• Alarm systems: Alarm systems, should be regularly tested, and inspected to ensure they are functioning properly.
• Surveillance cameras: Surveillance cameras should be cleaned and maintained to ensure they are providing clear images and working properly.
• Access control systems: Access control systems, including locks, keypads, and biometric scanners, should be regularly tested, and inspected to ensure they are functioning properly.
• Screening systems: X-ray and Ultraviolet (UV) scanners and walk-through metal detectors should be checked, cleaned and calibrated.
• Communication systems: Communication systems, including intercoms and alarms, should be tested, and inspected to ensure they are functioning properly.
