IT Support Site Inspection at AutoStudio, Lahug, Cebu City.

Upon arriving at AutoStudio, the team conducted a systematic walkthrough of the different working zones to gain a clear understanding of the existing electrical and surveillance setup. Because the shop was actively operating, with ongoing automotive work and machinery in use, the inspection required careful coordination with the staff to avoid disrupting daily operations while ensuring thorough access to areas where wiring and devices were installed.

The initial focus was on evaluating the wiring arrangement throughout the facility. This included checking if the cables were properly routed, organized, and protected against exposure or damage. The team examined insulation quality, termination points, and signs of wear that could pose risks such as short circuits or voltage drops. Grounding systems and power distribution channels were also reviewed to confirm compliance with standard safety practices.

Voltage readings were taken at different points in the workspace to identify potential inconsistencies that could affect the performance of sensitive equipment. Stable voltage flow is crucial in automotive shops, where diagnostic machines, tools, lighting, and security systems operate daily. Any fluctuation, even minor, may cause disruptions, equipment malfunction, or accelerate wear on connected devices.

During this stage, the staff highlighted issues with two CCTV cameras that were no longer functioning. These units were inspected individually to determine whether the problem stemmed from power failure, wiring interruptions, damaged internal components, or issues related to the network video recorder (NVR). Initial diagnostics pointed toward possible hardware degradation or power delivery interruptions, requiring more detailed follow-up procedures.
