A CCTV is mainly used for security purposes. It monitors and offers round the clock surveillance in private and public property
The importance of a CCTV cannot be understated when running a business. With advanced security systems, a CCTV camera allows you to significantly reduce the cost of protecting your business premise and your assets. The systems reliably provide quality and seamless monitoring. This gives you some peace of mind as you go about your daily operations.
At the same time, there are many advantages of CCTV installation in your business premise including;
- Reducing vandalism.
- Enhanced safety within your business premise.
- Reduced employee or staff incidents.
What is CCTV?
CCTV stands for Closed Circuit Television. A CCTV system works by monitoring a premise on a 24 hr basis.
A CCTV is a video surveillance system that is placed in security cameras to help record images and videos in a home, business property, and even on the roads. The camera works by monitoring, recording video images and transmitting them to a monitor.
Its importance and benefits
By installing a CCTV, you reap different benefits including
Crime Prevention
By installing a CCTV camera or cameras in strategic locations in your area of operation, you enhance security. You prevent acts of vandalism, serious crimes and break-ins. This is extremely vital in high crime areas.
If you are running a non-retail business, a security system helps you to prevent intellectual and property theft. In some cases, employees are often responsible for property theft. Therefore, a security system helps you to create a safer working environment.
Real-time surveillance
It enables you to have a real-time recording of all happenings in a business premise. You do not need to hire a security person to keep an eye on all your operations. Monitoring with a CCTV camera is done from a remote computer, tablet, or mobile phone. Separate cameras can also use a single window to view the footage.
Enhanced employee productivity
For a retail business, factory, hotel or a supermarket, having CCTV surveillance enhances employee productivity. Your employees will work their best knowing that they are monitored with or without your presence.
Reduces employee related incidences
Employee-related incidences are common in workplaces, especially those without surveillance cameras. A CCTV however, helps to prevent sexual harassment, theft and workplace violence because all employees are aware of 24hr monitoring. What’s more, it prevents skimming behaviours amongst employees since as an employer or business owner, you can easily detect such when reviewing your monthly or weekly footage.
Handling disputes
Disputes are bound to occur between employees, managers and employees or different stakeholders. In such cases, it is always easy to determine the exact cause of a dispute before things get out of control. A surveillance system offers ample prove to help you handle disputes and reach a fair agreement.
Enhance customer experience
In a retail space, a surveillance system enhances a customer shopping experience. You can always monitor and observe the behaviours of different clients. As a result, it will be easier to create a shopping platform where clients feel valued, cared for, and confident when shopping. What’s more, you can enhance the quality of your products based on client conversations captured by the CCTV.
Reduce Security costs
A camera business also comes with an added benefit of cutting down your security-related costs. Installing a CCTV means reducing the number of security personnel who would have manned your entire premise. With advanced cameras in the market today, you can go for high-end wireless cameras. They are reliable, highly functional, smaller in size, and are less obstructive.
Quality monitoring of High-Risk areas
You can protect your clients using CCTV cameras installed in high-risk areas. A point to note is that new customers may not have a better understanding of your premise. Some may access unauthorised areas unknowingly. Therefore, with a security system, you can help to protect your employees and customers from accessing high-risk areas.
Full proof protection/coverage
An efficient CCTV system helps to provide full prove coverage to your business premise. In the past, many businesses would lose a lot of money due to bad vices amongst employees, such as giving out unnecessary discounts to their friends and families. However, a CCTV system offers a reliable security mesh that can be monitored and tracked down through different command systems.
It is equally important to note that even with CCTV cameras in your business, there are culprits that are likely to break in. In the event of such incidences, your surveillance system increases your chances of capturing culprits and having them face the law.
