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 camera aim, lens cleanliness and playback with the commissioning view.
- Arrange safe cleaning or repositioning when the target area is obstructed.
- Assign each follow-up to a person and book qualified service for internal electrical work.
Worked example
A garden view becomes less useful as foliage grows. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: Dated screenshots of the target view and a record of corrective work.
Limits and follow-up
A recorder is not a backup. Export important clips promptly and check that the exported file plays on a separate device.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
