How to Overcome CCTV Damaged by Lightning

Damage to CCTV can be caused by many things. However, the damage that often occurs to CCTV is usually caused by lightning strikes. Relax, don't worry if you encounter problems like this. Because there are ways you can do to overcome it.

CCTV has several components. Each CCTV component has a supply of electric current.

So if this CCTV problem happens to those of you who have it, you must do a detailed examination so you know what to do to solve this problem. Damage caused by lightning can be repaired in the following way.

Here are 3 ways to deal with CCTV that was struck by lightning :

1. Damaged Power Supply

The part of CCTV that is definitely affected by a lightning strike is the power supply. This is natural because lightning enters through the power grid.

To prevent your CCTV from being hit by lightning is to remove the power supply connector from the plug. And it is also important to position the UPS as close to the equipment as possible.

2. The CCTV system is damaged

The next way that can be done is to diagnose the CCTV system. Damage to the system is usually more complex than the previous damage.

If the adapter or adapter and camera are damaged, it can be ascertained that the lightning current is entering through the power supply.

However, if only the camera is damaged, it is possible that the lightning current will enter through the RG-6 coaxial cable. The control panel section will be affected if this really happens.

The effective way that can be done is to use the RG protector. Apart from that, you can also install a CCTV protector.

To protect lightning from entering through an RG cable, you can use an RG 58 anti-lightning. Both of these things can function if they have been provided with external lightning protection beforehand.
