Spring Cleaning Your Security: What to Check, Update, and Replace
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Spring cleaning is not just for closets and garages. It is also the ideal time to review your home security system. Over time, small issues such as low batteries, outdated equipment, or blocked cameras can reduce effectiveness without you noticing.
Taking a few simple steps each year can ensure your system is working when you need it most.
Start With Your Alarm System
Check that your system arms and disarms properly. Test door and window sensors and confirm that notifications are being received on your phone.
If your system is monitored, verify that signals are reaching the monitoring center.
Inspect Cameras and Visibility
Outdoor cameras can shift, become dirty, or get partially blocked by growing landscaping.
Make sure:
- Lenses are clean
- Angles still cover key areas
- Night visibility is clear
Replace Batteries and Check Backup Power
Even hardwired systems rely on backup batteries. Replace batteries in sensors, detectors, and keypads as needed.
Routine maintenance is essential for home safety devices to function properly.
Update Access and Users
Remove old user codes and update access for anyone who no longer needs it.
