One of the most important (and often unseen) steps in our manufacturing process is the&nbsp;<strong>aging test<\/strong>. In this article, we take you behind the scenes to explain what the aging test is, why we run it for 12+ hours, and how it guarantees the reliability of every FARHD video intercom system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-an-aging-test\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is an Aging Test?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An aging test (also known as a burn\u2011in test) is a process where fully assembled electronic products are operated continuously for an extended period \u2013 often under elevated temperature or voltage \u2013 to identify early failures. The concept is simple: if a component or solder joint is going to fail prematurely, it is much better for it to fail in our factory than at your building entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the aging test, each unit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is powered on continuously for\u00a0<strong>12+ hours<\/strong>\u00a0(often longer for new designs or high\u2011end models)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Runs through repeated cycles of simulated operation: calls, video streaming, audio playback, relay triggers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is monitored for any sign of instability: image freeze, audio dropout, call failure, touchscreen unresponsiveness, or unexpected reboots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only units that complete the full test without a single anomaly are cleared for packaging and shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"why-12-hours-why-not-less\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why 12+ Hours? Why Not Less?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some manufacturers run aging tests for just 1\u20112 hours \u2013 or skip them entirely. We chose&nbsp;<strong>12+ hours<\/strong>&nbsp;because experience has shown that this duration catches the vast majority of latent defects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Solder joint weaknesses<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Thermal expansion and contraction over several hours can reveal cracks that would otherwise cause intermittent connection issues months later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Component tolerance drift<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Some capacitors or voltage regulators only show instability after hours of continuous heat build\u2011up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Firmware memory leaks<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A firmware bug might cause a system crash after 6\u20118 hours of uptime. A 2\u2011hour test would miss it; a 12\u2011hour test will catch it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Display or touchscreen issues<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Occasional flickering or dead touch zones may only appear after the screen has been on for many hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By running a&nbsp;<strong>minimum 12\u2011hour aging test<\/strong>, we significantly reduce the probability of early\u2011life failures. For critical components or full system configurations, we often run 24\u2011hour, 48\u2011hour, or even 72\u2011hour tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-does-the-aging-test-include\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the Aging Test Include?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our aging room, each product is connected to a test fixture that simulates real\u2011world operation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Test Parameter<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">What We Verify<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Continuous power\u2011on<\/strong><\/td><td>No unexpected shutdowns or reboots.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Video stability<\/strong><\/td><td>No screen freezing, flickering, or image degradation.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Audio loop<\/strong><\/td><td>Two\u2011way communication remains clear \u2013 no echo, noise, or dropouts.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Call response<\/strong><\/td><td>Simulated doorbell presses are answered correctly every time.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Relay output<\/strong><\/td><td>Unlock signals fire reliably \u2013 no sticking, no missing triggers.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Touchscreen (if applicable)<\/strong><\/td><td>All touch areas remain responsive; no dead zones.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Network connection (IP models)<\/strong><\/td><td>Stable IP communication, no packet loss or disconnections.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Night vision switching<\/strong><\/td><td>IR cut filter and IR LEDs activate correctly under low light.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The test environment is often kept at an elevated temperature (up to +40\u00b0C) to accelerate thermal stress. For high\u2011temperature versions (\u201140\u00b0C to +70\u00b0C models), we also perform additional cold and hot cycling tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-happens-if-a-unit-fails\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens If a Unit Fails?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If any unit shows abnormal behaviour during the 12+ hour aging test, it is immediately removed from the line and sent to our failure analysis lab. Our engineers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify the root cause (e.g., a specific component, a soldering issue, a firmware bug)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Correct the problem across all affected batches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re\u2011test the corrected units before they are allowed back into the production flow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failed units are&nbsp;<strong>never<\/strong>&nbsp;shipped. This zero\u2011tolerance policy ensures that every FARHD product you receive has already proven its stability under stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"the-result-lower-failure-rates-higher-customer-confidence\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Result: Lower Failure Rates, Higher Customer Confidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to our mandatory aging test process, FARHD enjoys one of the lowest warranty return rates in the industry. Installers and property managers report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fewer on\u2011site troubleshooting calls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longer service intervals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher resident satisfaction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you choose FARHD, you are not just buying a video intercom \u2013 you are buying a product that has been&nbsp;<strong>proven<\/strong>&nbsp;to work, hour after hour, day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"see-the-aging-test-in-action\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">See the Aging Test in Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video below shows a sample of our aging test process \u2013 rows of indoor monitors and outdoor stations running continuously, with technicians monitoring their status.

And those are all important. But ultimately, what matters is that&nbsp;<strong>every<\/strong>&nbsp;FARHD product has been tested \u2013 not just sampled, not just visually inspected, but&nbsp;<strong>run under power for over 12 hours<\/strong>&nbsp;to catch any hidden defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is what \u201cQuality assured\u201d really means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"ready-to-experience-farhd-reliability\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to Experience FARHD Reliability?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you need a single villa kit or a thousand units for a large apartment project, every FARHD video intercom you receive has passed the 12+ hour aging test.
