4 Reasons Why Surge Protection is Critical for Security Installations
The best way to prevent damage from an electrical surge, internally- or externally-caused, is to install surge protection device in security installations.
Any facility’s investment in security, life-safety,surveillance and other AV technologies can be disabled or rendered useless in just a few seconds without surge protection solutions in place. In addition to leaving facilities unprotected against security risks, the cost can be substantial, potentially reaching into the millions of dollars depending on the severity of the disruption and the size of the security installations affected.
Although surge protection is both inexpensive and easy to deploy, the common misconception that devices are only at risk during extreme weather keeps many organizations from recognizing the seriousness of the risk.
However, the truth is that power surges can be internally or externally caused, and they can happen at any time without warning. The best way to prevent damage from an electrical surge, whether it be internally or externally caused, is to install surge protection device.
Here are four reasons why:
1 – Surge protection device help safeguard devices from power spikes or surges.
2 – Surge protection device do what power strips can’t
3 – Larger security installations need more protection
4 – Surge protection device provide great ROI.
Surge protection that is properly sized and installed is an extremely successful method for preventing damage to electrical and sensitive electronic equipment — and one that is essential for protecting security, life safety and surveillance systems.
