Walk into enough older buildings and you start to see the same pattern. The cameras may look dated, the recorder may be overdue for replacement, and someone has already decided the answer is to tear everything out and start fresh. That instinct is understandable. It is also expensive, disruptive, and often premature. Existing CCTV infrastructure deserves a closer look before any upgrade plan gets locked in.

A fire alarm panel, a sprinkler system, and a standpipe network all carry an ongoing obligation. In Connecticut, the expectation is not subtle. These syste
