Strategic Camera Placement is Critical for Coverage and Deterrence
- Placing your surveillance cameras randomly can lead to critical blind spots, which may be exploited by intruders. For optimal results, conduct a thorough risk assessment of your property to identify vulnerable entry points, such as front and back doors, windows, garage access, and perimeter fences. Elevate cameras to reduce tampering risk and to achieve a broader field of view. Consider the use of varifocal lenses for adjustable zoom and wide-angle lenses for large areas like driveways or lobbies. Additionally, supplement natural blind spots (e.g., behind parked vehicles or tall shrubs) with auxiliary cameras to ensure no section goes unmonitored.
Routine Maintenance Ensures Longevity and Peak Performance
- Even the most sophisticated systems can fail without routine checks. Dust, spider webs, or rain smudges can obscure camera lenses, while loose wiring or corrosion may interrupt signals. It is essential to schedule monthly or quarterly maintenance, including cleaning camera lenses, inspecting cabling, testing sensors, and verifying that alarms are functioning properly. For systems integrated with software, ensure the firmware is up-to-date to benefit from the latest security patches and performance improvements. Preventive maintenance not only prolongs the lifespan of the system but also minimizes the risk of failures during critical moments.
Regularly Update Access Credentials and Permissions
- Security breaches often occur due to human negligence rather than technical flaws. Many users retain default passwords or rarely change access codes, exposing their systems to unauthorized access. It is best practice to periodically update passwords, especially after staff turnover, changes in residence, or system breaches. Implement two-factor authentication (2FA) for admin-level access and ensure that user accounts are role-based—granting permissions according to necessity. For commercial setups, maintain an access log and audit it periodically to track unauthorized login attempts or abnormal access patterns.
Utilize Smart Alerts and Real-Time Notifications
- Modern security systems are equipped with intelligent features that send alerts directly to your phone, tablet, or computer. These include push notifications for motion detection, door opening, unusual activity patterns, or system tampering. Configuring your system to provide real-time alerts allows you to respond quickly—whether it's a false alarm, a break-in, or a fire incident. You can also configure geofencing, where the system arms or disarms based on your GPS location. Integrating these alerts with cloud storage ensures that even if the system is destroyed, the evidence is preserved remotely.
