PTD's Health Check Life Cycle
The PTD Security System Health Check follows a three-step process. It starts with one of our senior technicians reviewing all the critical components of your access control, video surveillance, intrusion or intercom system and documenting its current state. This information is reviewed with PTD Engineers and recommended improvements are discussed, sized and prioritized. Finally, a report is created so you know the state of your system’s health and you can review with senior management to determine action steps.
| SITE REVIEW RANKING SYSTEM | |
|---|---|
| LVL 1 - Critical (Required) | Ex: Current VMS is “end of life”. Upgrade VMS solution to XXXXXX. |
| LVL 2 - Desired (Would improve system health, but not required) | Ex: Upgrade existing analog cameras to IP. Attach microphones directly to cameras. |
| LVL 3 - Optimal (Ideal but not required) | Establish SSA for support and future upgrades. |
| LVL 4 - Currently Optimized (system up to date) | No improvement required. |
Why A Security Health Check Matters
Your facility’s security systems are only as strong as their weakest link. Even when systems have been installed correctly, over time changes in technology, staffing, or site configuration can undermine effectiveness. A Health Check from Pro-Tec Design is your opportunity to ensure your security controls—access control, video surveillance, intrusion systems, intercoms—are operating at their optimal level.
What You Gain From A Health Check
- Risk identification — Spot gaps or misconfigurations in your access control, video, or intrusion systems before they become a liability.
- Performance validation — Confirm that all components (cameras, door controllers, intercoms) are functional, properly aligned, and effectively integrated.
- Prioritized roadmap — Receive a clear, actionable list of improvements (from critical upgrades to optional enhancements).
- Management visibility — Get a professional report you can present to leadership or stakeholders, showing both your current posture and where resources should go next.
The Health Check Process
We tailor each Health Check to your facility and region—whether in Minneapolis / St. Paul, throughout Minnesota, or beyond. The process usually includes:
-
- On-site assessment – Our senior technician inspects every major security component (access doors, video cameras, control panels, intercom stations).
- Analysis & engineering review – Our senior security engineers review findings, assess risk, and propose improvements.
- Reporting & consultation – We deliver a concise “health report” and sit down with your management team to explain priority steps, budgets, and phases.
