The reasons for installing cctv cameras are
same whether you own a home or business. Protecting your property, family and employees is probably at
top of your list of priorities. You’re not
only one that feels that way. Sales of home and business security systems have exploded in recent years. Even before 9/11, security system sales were on
rise. After
terrorist attacks, sales of home and business security cameras rose by as much as 20% over
course of three months.
The rise in sales of security cameras is justified by
results. Police in most major cities say that
chances of a break-in or robbery are nearly cut in half by
presence of an obvious security camera on
premises. Business owners report that theft by both customers and employees is nearly eliminated when they install
right security camera system. And we’ve certainly all seen
dramatic footage taken by home security video cameras that have led to
conviction of criminals who have abused children, burglarized homes or otherwise broken
law.
What can security cameras do for your peace of mind?
Secure Your Business with a Security Camera System
You’ve seen them –
ubiquitous, all-seeing eyes of a video surveillance system in local stores. The most obvious commercial use for a security camera is to prevent loss of merchandise through shoplifting and theft. It’s far from
only way that security cameras are used in business, though.
Security cameras can log transactions at
cash register or ATM, monitor remote areas of
plant for safety reasons, monitor
premises after hours and ensure that your employees are treating both you and your customers fairly. Evidence taken from security camera systems has been used as evidence in sexual harassment suits, burglary trials, even murder trials. The evidence isn’t always used to convict, either. In one case,
security videotapes from a security video camera covering an employee parking lot were used to prove that
car of an employee could NOT have been used in a hit and run accident that took place several blocks away – they showed
car parked in its usual spot every 2 minutes throughout
entire day.
