CCTV Health Monitoring and Alerts
CCTV systems are only useful when they are working. Unfortunately, many failures go unnoticed until it’s too late—such as a camera being offline during an incident. We set up health monitoring that constantly checks the status of cameras, recorders, and storage, sending alerts if something goes wrong.
Monitoring includes checks for camera connectivity, recording activity, and disk health. In addition to real-time notifications, we can configure regular reports that provide a clear summary of the system’s condition.
Why this matters
A broken camera or full hard drive can leave you blind at the worst possible moment. Real-time monitoring and regular reports mean issues are spotted early, reducing downtime and risk.
Our services include:
- Monitoring of camera and recorder status
- Alerts when devices go offline
- Disk and storage health checks
- Scheduled email reports about system condition
- Notifications delivered through the mobile app
FAQ
How will I know if a camera stops working?
You will receive a notification in the mobile app if a camera goes offline. Additionally, regular reports can be sent by email showing the status of all cameras and recorders.
Can I get alerts on my phone?
Yes. Notifications are delivered directly to the mobile app, so you are informed immediately if there is an issue.
Does this mean someone is watching my cameras all the time?
No. Monitoring checks the status of devices, not the video itself. It focuses on whether the cameras and recorders are working properly.
What happens if the recorder runs out of storage?
It depends on configuration. In most cases, old recordings are automatically overwritten by new ones. How long footage is available depends on disk capacity, camera resolution, and recording settings.
Can I get regular reports about my system?
Yes. We can set up scheduled email reports that provide detailed information about the condition of cameras, recorders, and storage.
