Security Equipment Lifecycle Tracker
Enter the age and the expected service life of each part of your security setup — cameras, recorder, alarm panel, UPS battery and locks — to see the remaining useful years per category and which items are due or overdue for replacement. An indicative self-management aid, not a verdict on any specific device. Planning figures; runs in your browser.
Expected life is a typical figure and fully adjustable — verify against the real condition and obsolescence. Ages 0–40, lives 1–40.
Plan replacements before they fail — a failed device is a coverage gap, not just a repair bill. Budget a small sinking fund each year so a replacement is never a shock. Remember that tech obsolescence — no more firmware updates or spare parts — can end a device’s useful life well before its physical life. This is an indicative estimate; verify against the real condition and your installer’s advice.
