Why this decision matters
A powered-on indicator does not prove that the detection, recording, release or reporting outcome still works.
Work through the actual task
- Compare its view with the original zone plan and pet routes.
- Arrange an authorised walk test and corrective positioning if required.
- Assign each follow-up to a person and book qualified service for internal electrical work.
Worked example
A movement sensor is partly hidden by a new bookcase. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: A zone-by-zone test result with any coverage change recorded.
Limits and follow-up
A siren, an app alert and professional monitoring are separate features. Confirm who receives a signal and what they are expected to do.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
