Regular checks of your home security system can find and fix weak spots before they become problems. A thorough assessment helps protect your family and property from potential threats. Understanding how to check your security system's effectiveness is the first step toward better protection.

Entry Point Assessment

Every door and window needs careful checking. Look for these common issues that might affect your security:

• Worn-out door frames and locks
• Loose window latches
• Damaged sensors
• Gaps in weather stripping

Security Equipment Check

Your security devices need regular testing to ensure they work properly. Modern systems have many parts that must work together. Check each component's performance, from cameras to motion sensors. Replace old or failing equipment before it stops working completely.

Common Weak Points

• Outdated security software
• Weak passwords
• Poor lighting around entries
• Blocked camera views

Testing Your System

Monthly testing helps find problems early. Work with your security provider to check:
