Is your business as well-protected as it should be ?
Do you really know what goes on when you’re not around to see ?
One of the best ways to protect your place of business, employees, and customers is to install Video Surveillance to deter crime and document what’s really happening in your business.
Here are some ideas on how Video Surveillance can help businesses
Monitor storage areas: Whether you’re in retail or just oversee the office supply closet, installing a security camera to monitor comings, goings and product removal can greatly cut down on your losses. Video surveillance can clue you in to employees who may be pilfering merchandise when they think no one is looking, or help you zoom in on people who stock up on company-purchased pens, paper and printer cartridges for personal use.
Monitor isolated, otherwise unseen areas: Many businesses have back doors that open onto alleys or parking areas, and these entrances can be prime targets for criminals. Installing video monitoring systems near back entrances not only allows you to record any attempt at forced entry, but also lets employees make sure that the area is safe before opening the door to accept a delivery, take out trash, or step out for a break.
Increase the Safety for Parking Areas: Ensure that your customer and employee vehicles are safe when they’re on your property. Employee safety is also very important, especially if they’re required to walk to and from their vehicles in the dark at extremely early or late hours. Video surveillance can greatly deter vehicle break-ins and vandalism, as well as increase the personal safety of customers and employees as they enter and exit their cars.
Monitor Cash Handling & POS: Installing video surveillance cameras with a view of cash registers, POS terminals and other cash handling areas will confirm that business is being conducted per your standards.
Prevent theft & jail criminals : Businesses armed with video surveillance cameras are far less attractive to potential thieves than those that don’t. Security cameras are a very effective deterrent to break-ins and other illegal activity. Video surveillance also helps catch thieves. In many cases, video from security cameras help police track criminals and recover stolen property.
Monitor Employee Conduct: Video surveillance can be an easy and effective way to monitor on-the-job employee conduct. Placing cameras in common areas and near workspaces lets you see what’s going on throughout your facility, and can help to eliminate excessive on-the-clock socializing and increase productivity.
Monitor After-Hours staff: Are your staff, cleaning and maintenance crews completing the work you’re paying them to ? If you’re unsure, check up from time to time by way of archived video footage, or keep track remotely, in real-time, with streaming internet cameras.
Save on Insurance: A video security system can save you and your business money, in more than one way. In addition to preventing loss of property and cash from the inside, surveillance cameras also prevent acts of theft and vandalism by outside individuals, which would require reimbursement payouts from your insurance company. As a result, insurers often grant discount premiums to businesses that are camera-protected, because they are a much lower payout risk than camera-free locations.
