CCTV Maintenance Checklist
If you’re failing to keep on top of your CCTV system’s maintenance, your system is more likely to break down prematurely, leaving your property vulnerable and you with hefty replacement costs.
To save you from this, the team here at Caught on Camera have put together this checklist of everything you need to know about CCTV maintenance.
The Checklist
When it comes to the health of your security system, there are a few simple checks and maintenance tasks you can carry out at home without any specialist equipment to keep your system in good condition.
Here at Caught on Camera, we’ve split the checks into some subcategories as part of the CCTV maintenance checklist to make the steps clearer and more ordered for you to carry out.

Camera lens

How often should my security system be checked?
- The amount of maintenance your CCTV cameras will need is dependent on their location and how easily knocked or damaged they are, but we’d recommend looking over your CCTV cameras at least once a month to ensure that they are functioning properly and keeping your property protected.We’d also recommend that you have your systems checked over annually by a professional service as they will be able to conduct more in-depth checks than you are capable of and spot and rectify any developing problems early on, increasing the lifespan of your system.
