FAQs

Systems should be inspected at least annually, with more frequent checks recommended for high-traffic or harsh environments. Service includes verifying camera performance, cleaning lenses, confirming recording reliability, checking storage health, and applying firmware updates.

Footage can be stored on local network video recorders (NVRs), in cloud-based data centers, or a combination of both. Retention periods typically range from 7 to 90 days or more, depending on storage capacity, resolution settings, and organizational requirements.

Cloud-based platforms use intelligent video analytics and AI to identify potential threats in real time, such as unauthorized movement, loitering, or perimeter breaches. This enables proactive detection and alerting, rather than relying solely on recorded footage reviewed after an event.

Yes, when installed and configured appropriately. Compliance involves proper camera placement, signage, data storage policies, access controls, and retention limits that align with applicable local and federal privacy regulations.

Yes. Video surveillance integrates with access control, intrusion alarms, intercoms, and monitoring platforms. Integration enables event-linked recording (for example, a forced door triggers the nearest camera to capture footage) and centralized management across systems.

Common camera types include IP cameras, dome cameras, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom), bullet cameras, thermal cameras, and license plate readers. The right mix depends on the environment, coverage area, and security objectives for each location.

FSS Technologies designs and installs NDAA-compliant video surveillance systems using top-tier manufacturer partnerships, supporting both on-premise and cloud-based configurations. Systems are backed by professional installation, ongoing service, and 24/7 support for any size deployment.

The required types depend on the hazards present in the space. Common options include Class ABC dry chemicals (multi-purpose), wet chemicals (commercial kitchens), CO₂ (electrical equipment), and Class D dry chemicals (combustible metals).

NFPA 10 determines fire extinguisher quantity based on your space’s hazard classification, square footage, and maximum travel distance. Buildings with mixed hazards, multiple floors, or high-risk areas may require additional units.

Per NFPA 10, extinguishers must be mounted on walls or in cabinets, visible, unobstructed, and accessible, typically 3.5 to 5 feet above the floor. They should be placed near exit paths, high-hazard areas, and at consistent intervals so that maximum travel distances are not exceeded.
