Maintenance and Troubleshooting 

Maintenance 
Whilst the G4-304SD1 is a dependable and robust piece of equipment, it is still a complex electronic 
device and as such, may require maintenance occasionally. To ensure optimal performance, Gatekeeper 
Systems strongly recommends that a proper Preventive Maintenance Schedule be set up and adhered 
to. 
 
Besides that, it is recommended that the following seven basic maintenance steps be performed at least 
twice a year: 
 

No. 

Maintenance Item 

Check 

(

 

 

 

Check that there are no loose mounting screws and that the G4-304SD1 is still 
securely mounted. 
 

 

Wipe down the G4-304SD1 and cameras using a clean microfiber cloth.  
 
 

 

Check cables on the back of the G4-304SD1 to ensure they have not vibrated 
loose. Make sure that the cables do not show signs of wear, cracks, etc.  If so, 
contact  your  Gatekeeper  Systems  sales  representative  to  arrange  for 
replacements. 
 

 

Pull  out  the  SD  Card  and  check  to  ensure  that  the  G4-304SD1  has  been 
recording video. It is critical that the G4-304SD1 is powered down prior to the 
removal of the SD card. 
 

 

Check  that  the  cameras  are  still  positioned  properly  by  playing  back  the 
recorded video. 
 

 

Check the system clock to ensure the proper date and time is shown. Be sure 
to check that daylight savings time is set properly and the system time is not 
out by an hour.  
 

 

Verify  that  the  settings  for  the  G4-304SD1  and  the  cameras  are  still  set 
properly.
