Security Sabotage Prevention

Security sabotage prevention is the practice of making a security system hard to disable. It covers tamper detection, concealed or protected cabling, redundant recording, power backup and monitoring that raises an alert when a camera or recorder stops responding. Each measure closes a cheap route into the system.

A camera that can be unplugged from outside protects very little. Sabotage is often the first step in a burglary, so noticing and reporting interference matters as much as recording it.

Common points of attack

Cut cabling, spray-painted domes, unplugged recorders and blocked sensors are cheap attacks. Mounting hardware above reach, using conduit and protecting the recorder room removes the easy options.

Detecting interference early

Video loss alarms, case tamper switches and heartbeat monitoring report a camera that has gone dark or offline. Without those alerts, a blind spot looks the same as a quiet night on the recorder.
