If you use security cameras and a fire alarm system, you need to make sure you keep these things maintained. This gives you piece of mind knowing you and your family are safe and secure. Below is information about keeping these two things in good working condition.
Maintain Security Camera
Inspect your security camera system a few times each year. Look at all connectors for any signs of corrosion. If you find that any are corroded, you should replace them.
You should also clean the camera lens a couple of times per year. Over time, dust, dirt, water spots, and smudges can build up on the lens. If this happens, the image quality will be affected. To clean the lens, simply wipe over it with a lint free soft cloth.
Check the positioning of the security camera, as over time it may can become loose. If you have more than one security camera, review each camera position from within your home to make sure they show the area they are pointed to properly.
