MaintenanceRoutine camera inspectionsRoutinely inspect the camera and its mounting surface. When the camera is powered off, grasp it firmly at the base and confirm it is rigid and secure. Then hold the camera above the base and confirm it is rigid, while rotating freely.

  • Conduct both visual and mechanical checks during your inspection, including the use of torque wrenches to ensure that all mounting fixings are secured to the recommended torque, as stated in the installation instructions.

  • Ensure that the camera and weight-bearing mountings (including any risers) are installed securely, that the coated surfaces are intact, and that there are no signs of damage.

  • Maintain a regular inspection schedule. Both visual and mechanical checks should be included in each inspection. Maintain a record of all inspections.
