CCTV Cameras and Security Systems for Home and Businessand

CCTV camera systems have become an important aspect in security for home and business applications. Changing technology has made CCTV cameras and DVR surveillance systems affordable for even the smallest businesses, and even homeowners are finding that the security and convenience provided by security cameras and recorders is worth the small price it costs. CCTV systems offer many advantages to both homeowners and businesses.

Security

The primary purpose of CCTV security systems is to provide ongoing surveillance in areas that human eyes can’t always be watching. Depending on the configuration you choose, a CCTV camera can provide hidden surveillance or, by being mounted in an obvious place, provide a little extra deterrence to thieves, shoplifters, vandals and burglars.

Safety

An obvious security system can offer assurance to your employees by serving as a deterrent to burglars and robbers. In addition, a security camera positioned at point of sale or other places where conflicts might arise can provide an unbiased view that can help clear your employees of wrongdoing if they’re unfairly accused. Every business owner knows that “the customer is always right” simply isn’t true, and having the video evidence to back up your employee’s side of the story can save you money and a lot of grief.

Decreased Insurance Premiums

Most insurance companies offer premium discounts to business owners and homeowners that install security cameras and CCTV systems. A decent security system – and those are more and more affordable – can reduce your chances of being the victim of a property crime. If a crime does take place, the evidence recorded by your CCTV camera and recorder can help police find the culprits and often recover stolen property. All of that adds up to lower costs for the insurance company.

Surveillance Anywhere

As long as you follow the laws in your area about where you can and cannot install surveillance cameras, you can provide visual coverage almost anywhere at all. Security cameras in the parking lot, for example, help deter vandalism and keep your customers’ and employees’ vehicles safer. A surveillance camera in the store room can help you pinpoint employee theft. Homeowners often make use of security cameras to keep an eye on a sleeping baby.

CCTV systems are available in highly customizable configurations that include indoor and outdoor cameras, waterproof cameras that can stand up to the weather or even record footage underwater.

Safety and security is important to any property owner. Investing in a quality CCTV security system can help you improve your security and keep your family, property and employees safe.
