PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE
PROTECTS YOUR INVESTMENT
Video Surveillance and Access Control Systems are foundational technology tools for modern security programs, but as they advance and become more complex, they also become increasingly vulnerable to threats - including cyber attacks.
In order to address these vulnerabilities, facility managers and security specialists must shift from reactive to proactive security initiatives and expand their Security Programs to include regular preventative maintenance.

In the grand scheme of things, every component of your video security system has an expiration date - upgrading the system will be a significant capital expense, so extending the life of your current system with preventative maintenance is important and could save your organization a pretty penny. However, the real value is in ensuring that your business is protected when, not if, there is an incident.
Comprehensive coverage of a workplace incident helps protect the organization, and all of the people in it, in case the worst happens. Contrastingly, a blind spot on your system coupled with a slip and fall, workplace violence, or vehicular accident on your property could cost the company millions of dollars.
Regularly scheduled preventative maintenance greatly reduces the risk of failure on your network, and increases the likelihood that you’ll have the coverage you need if (and when) you need it most. scDataCom is here to provide the support force multiplier to your efforts to optimize your system, protect your perimeter, and proactively identify and resolve any system issues – helping you reduce organizational risk while also giving you back the hours in the day necessary to focus on the big picture.
