Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late: Check Your Security Cameras Today

When it comes to security, peace of mind is everything. But too often, people only
discover that their security cameras weren’t recording after an incident has already
happened.

At Expert Security Solutions, we want to make sure you’re always protected
— not just hoping your cameras were working when you need them most.
The good news is that most modern camera systems have remote access, making it
quick and simple to check your system from anywhere. A few minutes of regular checks
can save you from frustration and potential loss down the line.

Why Regular Camera Checks Are Important

  Avoid surprises – Nothing’s worse than trying to retrieve footage and realizing
your system wasn’t recording.
  Catch small issues early – Cameras can lose power, disconnect from the
network, or develop technical faults.
  Maintain clear evidence – Ensuring your cameras are functioning properly
guarantees that you’ll have reliable footage if needed.

Quick Security Camera Checklist

Here’s a simple routine to make sure your cameras are always ready when you need
them:

1. Check live video feeds
– Open your camera app or system and verify each camera is streaming
live.
– Confirm the image is clear and the camera angle covers the intended
area.

2. Review playback history
– Select a random day/time in the past week and make sure recordings are
stored properly.
– Look for gaps or missing footage.

3. Confirm remote access
– Test your ability to log in from a phone, tablet, or computer.
– If you can’t access your system remotely, reach out — we can help set this
up.

4. Check alerts and notifications
– Make sure motion alerts or other notifications are enabled and reaching
the right devices.

5. Inspect hardware
– Look for any physical obstructions (branches, dirt, glare).
– Ensure cameras are securely mounted and cables aren’t damaged.
