Videofied Keypad Maintenance Tips
Security is non-negotiable, in the high-stakes environments of construction and mining. Videofied video security systems have been an industry standard for protecting valuable equipment and materials at remote sites. At the heart of these systems is the Videofied keypad – your access control center for maintaining jobsite security. This guide covers essential maintenance practices to keep your Videofied keypad operational and what to do when issues arise.
Understanding Your Videofied Keypad System
Videofied systems are designed specifically for harsh environments, offering wireless, battery-powered surveillance that works even in remote locations without power infrastructure. The keypad serves as your interface with the Videofied video security system.
Key components of a typical Videofied system include:
The keypad panel
Motion-sensing cameras
Videofied control panel
Preventative Maintenance for Videofied Keypads
1. Regular Battery Checks
Most operational issues with Videofied keypads stem from power problems. To avoid disruptions:
Check battery levels monthly through the keypad status menu
Replace batteries when they reach 30% capacity
Use high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries appropriate for your model
Keep spare batteries on site, especially in remote locations
2. Physical Inspection and Cleaning
Construction and mining environments are notoriously dusty and harsh. Quarterly maintenance should include:
Gently cleaning the Videofied keypad surface with a slightly damp microfiber cloth
Checking for dust accumulation in button crevices
Inspecting for physical damage to the housing
Verifying that all connections are secure
3. Environmental Protection
Protect your Videofied keypad from environmental extremes:
Install weather-protective housing in outdoor applications
Position keypads away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations
Consider using protective films or covers in particularly dusty environments
Ensure proper drainage around outdoor installations
Troubleshooting Common Videofied Keypad Issues
No Display or Poor Visibility
If your keypad display is blank or difficult to read:
Check the power source and replace batteries if necessary
Adjust the contrast settings through the maintenance menu
Clean the display carefully to remove any debris
If problems persist, the LCD display may need professional replacement
Connectivity Problems
When your Videofied camera isn't communicating with the keypad:
Verify that all components are within proper range (typically 200-300 feet in open areas)
Check for interference sources like large metal objects or electrical equipment
Test signal strength using the keypad diagnostics tool
Consider adding a signal repeater for challenging locations
Keypad Unresponsive to Input
If buttons aren't responding:
Perform a system restart by disconnecting and reconnecting power
Check for debris under buttons that might be causing obstruction
Enter engineering mode (if accessible) to test individual buttons
Document which buttons are unresponsive for support assistance
System Tamper Alerts
False tamper alerts can occur in active work environments:
Verify that all equipment is properly mounted and secure
Check that device covers are fully closed
Adjust sensitivity settings if available for your model
Update tamper zone parameters through the engineering menu
