You already know what your secure course, your system will have to deal with in the coming year. In fact, in our last blog entry, we discussed the threats that it might have to deal with in 2017. But is your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-threat\/\" title=\"The three types of security threat\">security system ready for those threats<\/a>? In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019d like to give you some simple advice on how to judge your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-system\/\" title=\"Does your security system need to be overhauled?\">security<\/a> system\u2019s viability. We hope this will help you decided between keeping your current system, updating it or replacing it.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Checking for fencing damage<\/h2>\n<p>As we\u2019ve pointed out before, perimeter fencing is the most basic and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/importance-of-school-security\/\" title=\"The importance of school security\">important component of any security<\/a> system. If you want to judge the state of your current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/secure-solutions-with-bespoke-fencing\/\" title=\"Secure solutions with bespoke fencing\">security solution<\/a> accurately, the first thing you should check is the integrity of your fencing. You should look for gaps, fractures and signs of rusting in each panel of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/great-security-fence\/\" title=\"How to tell a great security fence from a poor one\">security fencing<\/a>. It is also advisable to test the strength of your fencing by putting pressure on it. Does it move too much when pushed? Can you damage it yourself without using heavy equipment? If so, you may wish to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-fencing-contractor\/\" title=\"5 factors to consider when hiring a security fencing contractor\">consider updating and replacing your fencing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Testing electronic components<\/h2>\n<p>Alarms, electrified fencing, CCTV cameras and other electronic deterrents are only effective if they are fully operational. Take the time to test each electronic component of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/gas-network-fencing\/\" title=\"Gas network turns to prison style security\">security system in turn<\/a>. We recommend that you check that each alarm goes off when it is triggered. Furthermore, you should check that each CCTV camera records images of good quality in real-time. Also, make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/burrowing-under-fencing\/\" title=\"How to make sure criminals can&#8217;t climb or bury under security fencing\">sure that any stretches of electrified fencing<\/a> you have can be activated with ease.
