CCTV Troubleshooting in Ramen Kuroda at SM Cebu City.
Introduction.
On June 3, 2026, at Ramen Kuroda, an unexpected technical issue occurred involving the CCTV system installed in the staff locker room. The surveillance unit was discovered to be damaged after a rat chewed through its wiring. This incident led to a short circuit, which subsequently caused the power supply fuse to blow. As a result, the CCTV system in that area became non-functional, raising concerns about security monitoring in a sensitive staff-only location.
Cause of the Damage.
The root cause of the issue was identified as rodent activity within the facility. A rat had accessed the wiring of the CCTV unit and damaged the insulation by chewing through it. This exposure of electrical wiring led to a short circuit when the system was powered. The electrical overload triggered the safety mechanism of the power system, resulting in a blown fuse. While the fuse successfully prevented further electrical damage, the CCTV unit itself was left inoperable.
Impact on Security.
The malfunction of the CCTV system created a temporary gap in surveillance coverage within the staff locker room. This area is typically monitored for safety and security purposes, especially since it is used by employees to store personal belongings. The absence of a functioning camera reduces oversight and may increase vulnerability to unauthorized access or internal security concerns. Although no additional incidents were reported, the lack of monitoring remains a risk that requires prompt attention.
Current Status.
As of the time of reporting, the damaged CCTV unit has not yet been replaced. The system remains offline, and the area continues without active surveillance coverage. This delay in replacement highlights the need for timely maintenance response in addressing security equipment failures. Continued downtime could potentially expose the establishment to unnecessary security risks if not resolved quickly.
Recommendation.
To restore surveillance in the affected area, it is recommended that the damaged unit be replaced with a 2MP dome-type Dahua CCTV camera. This type of camera is known for its durability, compact design, and reliable indoor performance, making it suitable for locker room environments. Additionally, the dome structure offers discreet monitoring while still covering a wide viewing angle, enhancing overall security effectiveness.
Installation Plan.
A key advantage of the recommended replacement is that no rewiring will be required. The existing infrastructure can support a direct installation, which will significantly reduce downtime and installation costs. By utilizing the current cabling setup, technicians can quickly mount and activate the new CCTV unit, restoring surveillance functionality in a shorter timeframe.
Conclusion.
In conclusion, the CCTV damage incident at Ramen Kuroda on June 3, 2026, highlights the importance of both equipment protection and proactive maintenance. The rodent-induced wiring damage resulted in a short circuit and system failure, temporarily compromising security in the staff locker room. Moving forward, replacing the unit with a 2MP dome-type Dahua CCTV camera and ensuring proper installation will help restore surveillance coverage efficiently. Additionally, preventive measures against pest intrusion should be considered to avoid similar incidents in the future and to maintain a secure working environment.
