Using close circuit television camera systems or CCTV camera systems) are now part of the accepted norm for both business and residential security. CCTV camera systems act as a deterrent and a monitoring system to transmit signals from your video surveillance camera to a screen that’s being monitored by security staff or to a central storage system with and active artificial intelligence app to alert you of any specified unusual behavior.

There are many advantages in using a CCTV camera surveillance system in your home or business. The following are some of the top uses for you to consider:

Staff and customer protection

When you have a business, you are expected to look after the interests of your customers as well as those of your staff. When using a CCTV camera you have an accurate, timed and dated record of everything that happens in your business 24/7. This means that it becomes very difficult for false accusations to be leveled and people on your premises are protected.

Just by making it very clear to everyone that enters your premises that they are being constantly recorded for security reasons and their own protection, is usually enough to stop most illegal activities.

In the event of physical or verbal abuse or cases of suspected theft, you have a record that can be used as evidence in legal proceedings.

Protect yourself from frivolous lawsuits

Unfortunately, we have to put up with an element in society that will try and purposely do things to get stuff for free or that cause supposed accidents for an attempt to sue you for damages. When you have a CCTV camera set up you can monitor any suspected fraudulence and protect your customers, employees and your business from false accusations and made up law suits.

Monitor Employees

Not everyone can be completely trusted and some employees feel they have a right to help themselves to what they consider are the “Perks of the job”. Unless you have officially greed taking perks is theft and should not be tolerated. Besides making your business less profitable it places suspicion on all employees when one is not honest. Properly positioned and well displayed CCTV cameras will make sure the temptation to take “perks” is minimized.

Having your business well monitored by CCTV cameras also allows you to see which of your staff are working properly and most efficiently and being able to reward them appropriately. It also allows you to detect those that are not doing their work properly and gives you the chance to rectify this.

Monitoring the traffic flow in your business

The traffic flow through your business can make a huge difference and by studying the movement patterns in your shop you can streamline and direct people to areas you want them to view for greater stock visibility.

In the home CCTV cameras

They work as a great deterrent to stop home invasion and break-ins as thieves do not like to be identified or recorded doing the crime.

Having a modern CCTV camera surveillance system gives you positive proof of any situation so there is no room for dispute or arguments. It protects property and people as well as providing a complete record of illegal activities that can be used as evidence.
