Brandon Richardson outlines routine security system maintenance tips
A PR Newswire release attributed to Security Systems Expert Brandon Richardson says long-term security-system performance depends on regular checks, updates and log reviews.
A PR Newswire release dated Sept. 2, 2026, and datelined Manchester, N.H., says long-term security-system performance depends on routine maintenance as well as installation.
The release attributes the advice to Security Systems Expert Brandon Richardson of Mount Major Tech in Manchester and presents it as guidance for property owners who want cameras, access control and alarm systems to keep working as intended year after year.
What happened
The release says camera angles should be checked regularly because weather, landscaping or small bumps can move them off target. It says even a few inches of change can create blind spots. Richardson also says reviewing angles helps keep faces and license plates visible if an incident occurs.
It says access logs should be reviewed for patterns that do not match normal schedules. Those records track who enters, which credentials are used and when doors open. The release says unusual openings or credential use can point to permissions that need updating or to a process being misused.
The release also recommends updating user permissions when employees change roles, vendors rotate or temporary users finish projects. It says static passwords and codes can spread over time because people share or write them down, and that refreshing them on a regular schedule reduces exposure.
Alert settings should be tested, the release says, so they trigger during real events and stay silent during normal operations. That helps avoid alarm fatigue, the tendency for staff to ignore frequent false or irrelevant alerts.
Software and firmware updates are another focus. The release says updates for cameras, recorders, access panels and alarm hubs can fix bugs, patch vulnerabilities and keep systems compatible with newer technology.
Why it matters
The release says security systems can weaken over time if owners treat them as install-and-forget equipment. It says regular maintenance helps preserve readiness without major overhauls, unnecessary cost or downtime.
Context and background
The release says cameras, alarms and access control systems work better together when they share data. In the release’s framing, that integration can help confirm alarms, identify who entered and improve records for emergencies and after-action review.
It closes by saying the most dependable system is the one that receives steady attention. The guidance is presented as short, regular reviews rather than major repairs.
What officials or companies said
The release attributes the advice to Brandon Richardson, identified as a security systems expert with Mount Major Tech in Manchester. It does not include additional outside comments or independent reporting.
