Four Areas Where Security Cameras Often Fail

(From Campus Security Today) Security cameras play a vital role in campus safety, but without regular maintenance, their effectiveness declines. Neglecting camera care can have financial and legal consequences. Here are several blind spots that school leaders should look out for:

• High-traffic zones (parking lots, dorm entrances, walkways) collect dust and debris fast.
• License plate recognition cameras are vulnerable to pollution buildup, obscuring numbers.
• Rooftop-mounted cameras face harsh weather and bird droppings.
• Improper cleaning tools can scratch lenses or leave streaks; use microfiber tools for safe, streak-free results.
