They are also very cost effective when used to protect commercial buildings as they can reduce the need for a physical security presence on site.
Their video recordings and images are also very useful at providing high definition photographic evidence to support criminal prosecutions if the need should arise.
As well as recording and monitoring activity on a 24/7 basis, CCTV can augment other security measures with additional features such as facial recognition, people counts, audible warnings and line crossing triggers.
CCTV systems can also provide a 360-degree panoramic vision of any number of commercial buildings from a single monitoring point in a remote control room. This means that more than one building can be monitored in a cost efficient and effective way. This also helps to deter theft, vandalism and break-ins.
Once installed, it is important to ensure surveillance continues uninterrupted by ensuring the system is regularly serviced and maintained by a qualified engineer. As part of a regular maintenance programme, the engineer will check all equipment is fully operational, that camera’s and wiring have not been tampered with and all that fixtures and fittings are secure.
The use of CCTV is growing in demand, yet so is the perception that it is becoming an invasion of privacy and perhaps too ‘big brother’. The fear that systems will be hacked by cyber criminals and data leaked for commercial gain has also become a growing concern.
These issues can be resolved by ensuring that an SSAIB approved company installs and maintains the CCTV systems and camera’s monitoring your commercial premises.
Using encrypted passwords and maintaining a close control of access procedures together with appropriate data protection policies will ensure system integrity remains secure.
If your current CCTV System is older than 3 years then it would be well worthwhile taking a look at the huge improvements that have been made in CCTV technology in recent years including advancements in picture quality, hard drive storage and connectivity requirements.
A well installed and correctly positioned CCTV camera system will act as a deterrent against theft or other damages. It also can provide the evidence of what was stolen or damaged and who was responsible.
CCTV can provide effective equipment surveillance, this can help make your factory or workshop run smoother and safer. Using CCTV can help to identify unsafe equipment or working practices and help to minimise hazards which may also can interrupt operations.
Surveillance cameras can be used to validate many things, from validating deliveries to tracking people movements. Correctly installed CCTV can be used provide visibility on activity areas such as entrances, offices, workshops, storage areas, stock rooms as well as what is being loaded into or off loaded from delivery vehicles.
The environment within a museum or heritage building can be very busy, or the buildings could be empty which means it can be hard for managers and supervisors to monitor activity. CCTV can be used as an investigatory and health and safety management tool as it provides visibility on things that would ordinarily go unresolved or unreported. Surveillance systems can be used to investigate incidents thoroughly and help to prove or disprove their occurrence and/or cause.
Installing CCTV systems can increase productivity can stop employee time wasting as they are aware that their behaviours are being captured in CCTV. The footage can also be used as a training too to teach the right behaviours.
