With the rise of crime rates and reports on terrorism, CCTV systems are becoming more of a necessity in today's business offices and shops' security. With cameras installed within their buildings and establishments, business owners, employees and customers alike will feel protected by the twenty-four hour watch the cameras provide.
CCTV, which means close circuit television, refers to the technology of installing a video camera in strategic places within a building which transmits and records footages to a remote monitor. Since not everyone can afford to employ a security guard, having a CCTV system is convenient, as the system equipments can be bought separately and budgeted. What was in the beginning an expensive and complicated system had now become practical and affordable, but still provides the same, if not more, usefulness and versatility. If an undesirable event did happen in the workplace, owners can use the video recordings as hard evidences of the event which transpired.
These cameras are small but powerful tools to prevent crimes. A would-be criminal would hesitate to act within the range of a camera, as his image would be clearly recorded and can be used to pursue him later. Studies in England show that CCTV systems installed in crime-susceptible areas led to 85% to 94% reduction of crime rates. Other malicious mischief such as vandalism and littering are greatly reduced as well.
This lets employees feel safer within their work place. The awareness that their environment is being monitored gives peace of mind to the workers and, because they themselves too are being monitored, thus leads to better staff efficiency. Customers and clients can enter without worries as well, knowing that their safety and well-being are being looked after.
CCTVs come in different types and models. Some had a panning and tilting actions, while some gives a wide angle of the room. Some cameras transmit images wirelessly to a monitor while some uses cables. The cameras you choose must be in-line to the level of security that your business need. Black and white cameras, while being the least expensive, provide better resolution than coloured ones because of their sensitivity to light. Coloured cameras, while being more expensive, provide true-to-life colours and perfect for identification purposes. These cameras can be installed everywhere, indoors, outdoors, even underwater, and is sturdy enough to last a few years.
Some businesses opted to install "fake" cameras in their buildings, because of the idea of safety the cameras provides. As court cases prove, this action must be discouraged, because it provides a false sense of safety to the workers and customers and has led to injury.
Providing security, reducing crime rates, giving your workers and clients sense of peace and safety are but a few benefits why having a CCTV system installed in your establishment is a good idea. You've worked hard and invested a lot for your business. What is a few more dollars if it meant the reassurance of safety for your investment, workers and clients alike?
