Your security system is your first line of defence — but like any technology, it needs regular attention to stay effective. At North Star Fire and Security, we often see systems that fail simply because they haven’t been maintained properly.
So, how often should your CCTV, intruder alarms, or fire alarms be serviced?
Recommended Maintenance Frequency
For most Perth homes and businesses:
- CCTV systems – every 6 to 12 months
- Intruder alarms – at least once per year
- Fire alarms – twice per year, as required by safety regulations
These checks help ensure your system remains reliable and compliant.
What Maintenance Involves
A professional service visit includes:
- Cleaning and checking camera lenses
- Testing alarm triggers and sirens
- Inspecting wiring and power supplies
- Updating software or firmware
- Reviewing recording and storage systems
Our team provides full documentation after every visit for your records and insurance compliance.
The Risks of Skipping Maintenance
A neglected system can lead to:
- False alarms
- Missed detections
- Blurred CCTV footage
- Faulty sensors or power issues
Regular maintenance avoids costly repairs and ensures your system works when it’s needed most.
The Benefits for Perth Properties
By scheduling routine servicing, you protect your investment and maintain insurance validity. Many insurers now require proof of professional maintenance for claims to be valid after a break-in or fire.
