Theft Deterrence

Security cameras may not physically stop theft, but they do help to deter thieves. When these cameras are placed in strategic areas around your business, they immediately send a signal to would-be thieves that you’re security conscious. Since most burglars are constantly looking for soft targets, they are unlikely to target you once they realize that the premise has security cameras installed.

This can help increase your bottom line too. For example, did you know that about 64% of all businesses fall victim to employee theft? And that small businesses lose as much as $30,000 a minute to shoplifters nationally?

Employee Safety

Video surveillance doesn’t only protect the goods or money in your store, it also protects the people working there. For example, aggressive customers would feel reluctant to be violent against your employees. The video surveillance system will signal to them that they won’t be able to get away with violent behavior, thus it will deter it. When outside the building, these CCTV systems can record suspicious activities, and alert your employees if there’s any danger in going outside. The system also keeps a record of whatever your employees do, so in a way, it protects your employees from one another.

Real-Time Surveillance

Real-time surveillance is essential today because it allows you to respond to and adjust to problems immediately. The video evidence that real-time surveillance provides makes it easier for security agencies to respond to vandals or burglars. Many real-time surveillance systems come with built in sirens and flood lights that can be triggered through a mobile app or by proximity triggers.

Remote Check-Ins

Asides from the security benefits that video surveillance provides, it also allows you to remotely monitor your business. If you happen to go on a lot of trips, you would be able to monitor your business, as if you were in the building itself. This way, you wouldn’t need to go through hours and hours of archival footage to resolve an issue. All you need to do is monitor it as it’s happening.

Lower Insurance Cost

A comprehensive video surveillance system is sure to reduce the amount of money you pay on insurance. As has been established before, burglaries and theft are pretty common, and if your business has been hit a few times you may see your insurance costs go up. However, installing a video surveillance system ensures that your business would be a high-risk hit for burglars. That would make them avoid it, and would ultimately reduce your insurance costs.
