Reliability & outages
Power, batteries, and communication paths—what keeps signaling alive when the grid flickers or routers drop.
Panels vs. networking gear
Alarm panels often have battery backup while consumer routers do not. Know which devices drop offline together during an outage.
Cellular communicators and carrier reality
Cellular paths can keep central station signals alive when broadband fails—if antennas are placed for your building materials and local coverage.
Generators and surge events
Coordinate startup sequences so cameras and recorders recover predictably after transfers. Document reboot order for staff who arrive first.
