For security concerns, a security system manual should have been received during the installation of the security cameras. Such manual should be kept in a safe place where it can be accessed when needed. Referring to the manual first can solve some function-related problems, thereby helping the organization to avoid unnecessary spending that would have been made if a professional was called.
