Video surveillance has become a necessity for small business owners, and it is becoming more prevalent for home owners as well. One of the reasons for this is because the technology has become much more affordable. Video cameras are everywhere you look, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite to eat at a fast food restaurant, stopped at the intersection (hopefully not as you are coasting through a red light!), or walking up on your neighbors’ front porch.
There are many benefits to having a video surveillance system installed in your home or business. First and foremost, a video surveillance system acts as a deterrent to crime. Seeing a camera or signage, warning of cameras on the premise, can be unnerving to a would-be criminal. In the same respect, a video surveillance system has the added benefit in its ability to apprehend a suspect when a crime has occurred.
Another of the many benefits of having a video surveillance system installed is the improved productivity in the workplace (and at home). Many business owners’ primary motivation for installing a video surveillance system is not the threat from without, but rather the threat from within. When thinking of loss prevention one typically thinks of people stealing goods from a business, but what about employees who routinely “steal” an employers’ time, by not doing what they are paid to do, when they are paid to do it. The day a video surveillance system is installed, much of that will stop. In turn this will potentially have a drastic effect on the business’ productivity. Home security cameras can help you see if your children are home when they are supposed to be, and actually doing what they are supposed to be doing, instead of sitting in front of the television.
