CCTV MAINTENANCE
Of course, to ensure that your CCTV system is working optimally, you’ll need to conduct timely maintenance.
You’ll need to verify a few things as it pertains to the system’s camera and housing, wiring and cables, and control equipment.
CAMERA & HOUSING
For the system’s camera and housing, verify the following:
- Camera/lens focus and auto iris is adjusted properly.
- Camera field of view is adjusted to customer’s requirements.
- Camera/housing viewing window is clean, inside and out.
- Camera lens is dust free.
- Interior of camera enclosure is clean and dry.
- Check operation of pan tilt and zoom focus. Use controller in control room to check all these operations.
WIRING & CABLES
For the system’s wiring and cables, verify the following:
- Check wiring and cable harnesses for wear and fray.
- Check to make sure cable is dressed properly.
- Check connectors and cable entry points for loose wiring.
- Check that the coaxial cable is transmitting an adequate video signal to control room. Signal should be free of distortion, tearing, hum-bars, EMI, and rolling.
- Make sure all coaxial connectors are insulated from conduit and pull boxes.
CONTROL EQUIPMENT
For the system’s control equipment, verify the following:
- Monitors are free from picture burn-in and distortion.
- Monitors have proper contrast and brightness.
- VCR’s are functioning properly and providing distortion free recording.
- Check that all control equipment is operational. This means that switchers allow proper sequencing, multiplexers are properly encoding and decoding, and matrix switcher keyboards are fully operational.
- Clean all monitor screens, control panels, and keyboards with a diluted cleaning solution.
- Check all coaxial connectors on the back panels for loose connections.
- Check all power connections to ensure AC plugs are not loose.
