5 Reasons Why Your Business Needs a CCTV System

Taking the right security measures for your business is absolutely essential. One of the most cost-effective ways in order to keep your workplace safe is by having a good CCTV security or video surveillance system in place. They help to ensure your stock is stored safely, protect your employees from intruders and deter thieves. Modern cameras mean businesses can lower their costs and protect their assets with continuous monitoring of their workplace. Here at Advance Computers we’ve put together a list of 5 good reasons exactly why your business needs CCTV systems.

Great crime deterrent

Criminals target businesses that have no security systems in place. So CCTV cameras act as a great deterrent to any possible intruders or thieves. They won’t want their identity being caught on camera or being connected to the crime. Make sure your cameras are in visible sight and also put up plenty of warning around your premises that you have CCTV cameras in operation. It will definitely help to stop any criminals in their tracks.

Reduces your insurance

It makes sense that if your property has CCTV cameras in place that it will be deemed more secure than one without any. This means that insurance companies are more confident that your premises will be less likely to be broken into. Of course this in turn reduces the likelihood of a claim being made. So it allows insurance companies to reduce their premiums on your business insurance policy and means you save money every month.

Peace of mind

Knowing that you have a CCTV system in place gives you peace of mind that your business is being monitored and well protected from thieves, vandals and intruders even when you’re away from the office. This can help to reduce your stress outside of work and help you to fully relax.

Increase staff safety & honesty

Looking after staff should be of great importance. Installing CCTV is one simple way of keeping them and their belongings safe whilst working on your premises. It will also protect them from any threatening behaviour of other employees, helping ensure a safe environment for all. On top of that, it helps keep your staff honest and prevents wrong doing. It can mean avoiding wrong accusations and lack of trust among your employees.

Catch intruders in the act

CCTV systems provide absolute concrete evidence of intruders on your property. If you are to fall victim to a crime at your business place and have to undergo court proceedings, you can be sure that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.
