We all recognize the value of annual health check-ups. It’s a time when our healthcare providers assess our overall health and seek to identify any existing or potential health risks. These proactive checkups allow for early detection and sometimes can be lifesaving.
Keeping a check on the health of your security and life safety systems is also important. That’s why we at Pro-Tec Design encourage schools to perform a health check on their security systems. We offer a three-step process Security System Health Check to ensure your system is running at optimum performance and detect any issues that may need to be addressed and mitigated.
The PTD Security System Health Check begins with a Site Review to identify any vulnerabilities. In this initial phase, one of our expert senior technicians reviews all the critical components of your access control, video surveillance, intrusion or intercom system and documents its current state. The issues observed are critical to the successful operation of the security system.
In the second phase, a Review Summary is provided that outlines any concerns or upgrades and modifications needed. An overall system health score is noted and the information in the summary is reviewed with PTD Engineers.
The Site Review Ranking System spans four varying levels of health:
LEVEL 1: Critical - This indicates that action is required to keep the system operational.
LEVEL 2: Desired – This would detail any upgrades that would improve system health, but are not required.
LEVEL 3: Optimal – This would detail any upgrades that would be ideal in elevating the system to peak performance.
LEVEL 4: Currently Optimized – This ranking indicated that the system is up to date and no improvements are needed.
Finally, in the third phase, recommended improvements are discussed with senior management and prioritized to determine the steps that should be taken.
Your school’s security system is critically important to protecting people and property.
