Point of sale systems will require regular maintenance, repairs, and replacements to keep the system running optimally.

Most POS systems are connected to the internet, but not all. The ones that are, do not store data on servers physically located in the place where the business operates from and upload the data in one go.

POS systems that are not connected to the internet are exposed to risks such as lack of updates, vulnerability to the servers, data security risks, and inaccessibility risks.

POS systems are generally safe when the systems are locked down. If not, then users could steal, lose or accidentally misplace devices that have POS software installed and customers data can be then stolen.

The most common problem with POS systems is network issues which can disrupt business operations. Issues can include poor connectivity and slow speeds. Network issues can cause data loss and inability to process transactions.

Businesses can use a WPOS system which is a type of electronic payment that uses wireless technology, such as a SIM card, to connect to the internet for processing transactions. They work in the same way a wired system would, but use a SIM card to connect to the internet.

Businesses should look for a POS system that has inventory management, sales reporting, customization options, and integration capabilities with other business management software.

Many modern POS systems are equipped to support mobile payments, including contactless transactions or mobile wallet apps.

Different types of POS systems include traditional on-site systems, cloud-based systems, and mobile POS systems.

CCTV cameras are usually wired and need a constant power supply. Surveillance cameras can be run on batteries which means they can be placed anywhere without worrying about wires.

A CCTV provides continuous monitoring and recording, scalability for large areas, and integration with advanced security features. A security camera is more affordable, easier to install, and flexible for small-scale monitoring.

When choosing a security system, make sure you consider the purpose and requirements needed, camera types, resolution and image quality, night vision performance, field of view and connectivity, and storage.

Most wireless hidden cameras, including Wi-Fi cameras, can transmit signals up to 300 feet in a direct line of sight. Longer distances can be achieved by using higher powered transmitters or high gain antennas.

Not all security cameras require Wi-Fi. Some cameras can use LTE plans instead and others are not connected to the internet, but rather record onto local storage such as hard drives.

If you use Wi-Fi security cameras, you can only use them where a signal connects back to your Wi-Fi router. Exterior walls block and degrade the signals which can cause your cameras to disconnect and not show any video.

The most common CCTV cameras on the market include 2MP (1080p), 4MP (1440p), 5MP (1920p) and 8MP (4k/2160p).

As the resolution increases from 1080p to 4k, the image quality improves significantly meaning 4K cameras capture the most detailed and clear images.

A good quality camera will include high resolution video, strong infrared night vision, wide angle lenses, motion sensors to get active notifications, and a sturdy weatherproof housing.

Like any other connected device, security cameras are vulnerable to unauthorized access, hacking, and data breaches.

The frequency of printer maintenance will vary depending on how often you use your printer. We recommend cleaning it weekly or even daily.

Signs include poor print quality, ink blots, blurry lines, unusual noises, slow printing speeds, network connectivity problems, or error codes. Neglecting regular maintenance may result in these issues, but they can be addressed by performing updates and cleaning the printer and its printheads.

Here at Geeks On Site, we recommend a simple rule: if the printer repair costs amount to more than half of what it would cost to get a new machine, it might be more practical to buy a new one. Contact an agent today to help you get the best price on a brand-new printer.

If you have multiple printers within your office, you’ll need a printer driver for each type of printer because each one communicates differently with the computer.

Paper jams are one of the most common copier issues. There’s a range of things that can cause a paper jam such as misaligned paper trays, incorrect paper, and worn out rollers.

If you suffer from discolored printing then it can be a sign your copier is ill. Low quality toner, dirty photocopier glass, or even a malfunctioning drum unit could be the culprit.

Random spots are a frustrating photocopier problem that can ruin otherwise perfect copies. These spots can be caused by various factors, such as dirty photocopier glass, a malfunctioning drum unit, or a leaky cartridge.

Your prints may be coming out misaligned due to issues with the printer’s calibration, paper loading, or paperhead alignment. Contact Geeks On Site to assist with your printing issue.

You can maintain your copier by regularly cleaning internal components, calibrating settings for optimal performance, and addressing any mechanical issues promptly.
