manufacturerordistributorforservice,acopyofthemaintenancerecordsshouldaccompanyit.
BeforeworkingontheIPcamera,informallappropriatepersonnelofyourintentiontoworkonthecameraandthe
durationofwhichyouexpectthemaintenanceintervaltolast.Disableanyautomaticsystemsthatmaybeactivatedby
the cameras alarm signals this may include audio and visual alarms or dialers, extinguishing agents, and building
controls.
CheckthefaultlogontheFikevideomanagementsoftwaretoensurethatthatthedetectorsarefunctioningproperly.
Noteanyfaultsandthecause(lowlight,blurredimage,content,lossofcommunication,etc.).Faultconditionswith
theirprobablecauseandcorrectiveactionarelistedbelow
Lowlight–Thecameramayhavebeencoveredortheareaistoodarkforpropersmokedetection.Ifthecamera
iscovered,removetheobstructionandtakepreventativemeasuretoensureitdoesnotoccuragain.Iftheareais
too dark inform the end user that more lighting is necessary for the smoke detection algorithm to properly
function.
Out‐of‐Focus–Thecameraslenshasbecometoodirtyorthelensitselfhasmovedresultinginbadfocus.Cleanthe
lensand/orreadjustthefocustoprovideaclearimage.
Content–anobstructionistooclosetothecameraorthecamerahasbecomemisalignedandisfacingawallor
otherlargeobject. If possibleremovetheobstruction andtakepreventativemeasuretoensurethatitdoesnot
occuragainor/andre‐alignthecamerasotheFOVmatchedthatofthepreviouslyrecordedimage.
Communication–Alossofcommunicationfromthecameratotheenduserinterfacehasoccurred.Iftheseare
shortinduration(lessthan5seconds)theycanbeduetodroppedinformationalpacketsonthenetwork,anddoes
notaffectsystemperformance.Ifthelossisgreaterthan5seconds,checktheconditionoftheLANnetworkboth
physicallyandoperationally. Ensurethattheswitchesareproperlypoweredandingoodworkingorder,ensure
thatallRJ‐45connectionsaresecureandthatnomechanicaldamagehasoccurredtothenetwork.Finally,ensure
thatthenetworkbandwidthislargeenoughforthenumberofcamerasandtheirframeratesettings.
Inspectthevideoimagefeedtotheuserinterface(FikeVMSsoftware)forabuild‐upofdust,debris,oroutoffocus
lens.Theremaynotbeenoughtocauseafaultconditionyetbutcleaningmaystillbenecessary.Ifnecessarycleanthe
lenswithacottonwipeandcommercialliquidglasscleaner.Rinsethelenswithcleanwateranddrywithacleancloth.
Ensurethatthecamerastillhasaclearlineofsitetothehazardareaandcomparethepreviousrecordedimagereport
withthecurrentimagetoensurethatthecamerahasnotbeenmisaligned.
Checktoensurethatthecameraissecurelymountedtothewall.
Re‐initiate and disabledautomatic systems and inform all appropriate personnel that you now have completed the
maintenanceandthatthesystemisbackonline.
ThatconcludestheinspectiontestingandmaintenanceofyourFikeVideoAnalyticsfireandsmokedetectionsystem.
By implementing a service and maintenance programyou are ensuring the uninterruptedoperation of your system
keepingyourassetssecureandsafe.Ifyouhaveanyquestions,pleasecontactFikeVideoAnalyticsCorporation.
