How Can Your Business Benefit From a CCTV System?

Ace Fire And Security Equipment • 12 March 2020
CCTV systems are now used in some form throughout small and large businesses- it’s estimated that there are now more cameras than people in the UK. While this may seem like a staggering amount, CCTV is a beneficial way of monitoring your premises, staff and customers to give you peace of mind. If you haven’t installed CCTV already, and you’d like peace of mind about your business activity, carry on reading to learn how you can benefit from camera installation. 

Deterrent
The most obvious benefit of installing a CCTV system is to prevent criminal activity within your business. If you’ve been noticing stock loss that you suspect is a result of shoplifting, any unwanted visitors will soon think twice when they see a camera staring back at them!

Monitoring
Cameras are not only good for spotting criminal behaviour, but you’ll also be able to keep a check on your employees. If you have other work on the side so you can’t be on the premise regularly, many CCTV system have a linked in system that you can access on your smartphone or tablet- that way you can see what’s happening wherever you go. This is great for monitoring punctuality and the behaviour of your staff. 

Cheaper insurance
By making your business less of a target for criminal activity, this can have a positive effect on your insurance rates. In the eyes of your insurer, CCTV will reduce the risk of your business being vandalised or burgled and therefore lower the chances of you making a claim. Consequently, your renewal quote may be significantly reduced saving you money in the process. 

Evidence
If you’re unfortunate enough to fall victim to criminal activity in your business, then CCTV cameras can help solve the crime without you having to make a claim. Contact your local police station and they will be able to take a look at your footage, if the suspected culprit is on film then they’ll be easier to identify and the police can then proceed with finding them. Make sure you have a good quality camera that works well during the day and at night.
