Maintenance
Why CCTV and Access Control Need Planned Servicing
Guidance only. Verify any statutory or insurer requirement against current official South African sources. CapeCore does not publish unverified legal claims.
Camera housings fill with moisture, recorders fill with old footage, credentials linger after staff leave, and locks fail quietly. Planned servicing finds that in ordinary time.
Applicable SANS standards
Access hardware falls under SANS 10222-2. Fence energisers and fence maintenance fall under SANS 10222-3. Electrical supply must remain safe. There is no SANS that sets a universal “clean the dome every 90 days” — coastal Cape Town air still argues for a planned visit.
Questions homeowners often ask
How often should home cameras be checked?
Walk the pictures at night once a month. Have a technician attend if housings mist, recording stops, or a camera has moved.
When should I delete old remote tags?
The day a tenant, staff member or contractor leaves. That is access control hygiene, not optional IT.
General guidance for Cape Town and Western Cape homes and estates. Confirm the current SANS edition, municipal by-law and any insurer condition with a competent person before treating an answer as a legal duty on your property.
