Security System Maintenance

Is Your False Sense of Security Leaving Your Business Vulnerable?

Many businesses make substantial investment in their security systems, in order to ensure they’re fully protected. However, without regular security system maintenance, even the best installations can develop faults and vulnerabilities. This neglect leaves your business exposed to potential break-ins, theft, and costly damage. Don’t underestimate the vital importance of security system maintenance.


Partner with Security Experts for Peace of Mind

At 1st Choice Security Systems, we understand the critical role that well-maintained security systems play in protecting your business. Our comprehensive solutions, which include preventative maintenance, are designed to keep your systems functioning at their best, by minimising vulnerabilities. A maintenance contract with an accredited provider like us could save you thousands of pounds in potential losses in the event of system failure.

What is Security System Maintenance?

Security system maintenance goes beyond occasional battery replacement. It involves proactive, scheduled maintenance visits and preventative upkeep of your entire security infrastructure by trained security engineers. This includes intruder alarms, CCTV, access systems, and security gates.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Regular checkups. A member of the 1st Choice team will visit your premises at agreed intervals to thoroughly assess your system’s functionality.
  • Proactive care. Minor issues are resolved before they escalate, optimising system performance and minimising unexpected malfunctions.
  • Expert troubleshooting. In the event of a problem, your skilled engineer will ensure it’s dealt with promptly.
  • Cost-effective peace of mind. Security system maintenance reduces the likelihood of costly emergency repairs or system replacements due to neglect.

Just as a car needs regular servicing, your security system requires expert attention to ensure it safeguards your business without fail.

What to Expect: A Thorough Examination

What to Expect A Thorough Examination

A professional security system maintenance visit isn’t merely a quick check-up. It involves a detailed assessment of all your security components to ensure optimal performance and protection. Here’s a breakdown:

CCTV Maintenance:

  • Physical inspection. Examine cameras and hardware for signs of damage, weather exposure, and obstructions.
  • Firmware updates. Critical security updates are installed to patch vulnerabilities and improve functionality.
  • Time/date accuracy. Ensures correct timestamps on footage for reliable evidence if needed.

Intruder Alarms Maintenance:

  • Signal testing. If your alarm is monitored, technicians verify that signals reach the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) without interruptions.
  • Remote synchronisation. Maintains efficient communication between your alarm system and remote support centres.

Access Systems Maintenance:

  • Door & Reader Checks. Test access control readers, door mechanisms, and ensure proper credential recognition.
  • Software updates. Updates enhance system security and add new features.

Automated Security Gates Maintenance:

  • Mechanical inspection. Examination for wear, tear, and proper alignment.
  • Control unit checks. Tests control systems, safety sensors, and communication capabilities.

By entrusting your maintenance to experts, you gain the peace of mind that your security system is always ready to protect your business.
