Have you had the same home security system for years? Are you wondering if it’s time for an upgrade? Like most products, home security systems have a lifespan, and after a certain point they need to be upgraded. But how do you know if it is time?
There are a few things to watch out for (excuse the pun).
If your security system is over 10 years old and is starting to ‘misbehave’ it might be time. Or,if you’re after the latest technology in home security systems, you may want to upgrade. That said, in some cases a faulty or ‘misbehaving’ home security system may only need a change in position or repair.
Rodney and his team from Jim’s Security Wyong had a customer who already had a Swann CCTV system in place. Most of the cameras were external and located on a large, outdoor awning covering an entertainment area. The original cabling used was indoor grade and wasn’t concealed in conduit, which left it badly weathered and vulnerable to tampering.
Rodney and his team removed all the existing cabling and relocated the Video Recorder to a new, more practical location inside the house. They ran brand new Cat 6 cabling, completely concealed in external grade conduit, to all cameras around the house right the way through to the cameras. The system will now be operational for many more years to come.
