Protect Your Business With a CCTV Security Camera
Theft and vandalism in the construction and automobile industries has risen sharply over the past few years. It’s not uncommon for automobile dealers to walk onto the lot in the morning only to find vehicles that have been keyed, broken windows, and even missing stereos and wheels. Construction foremen fear arriving at the job site to find valuable copper pipe and conduit along tools and building materials missing. Even office buildings are noticing an increase in the theft of computers and data components. The numbers are staggering and the cost to repair or replace the theft and vandalism eats away at already shrinking profit margins.
Unfortunately there is no way to guarantee theft and vandalism won’t occur at your office or job site. But there are ways to deter would be criminals from targeting your business.
On site security personnel is widely regarded as the most effective crime prevention measure. However, dedicated on duty officers are costly and laws in most states prevent security personnel from doing anything more than observing and reporting suspicious activity. While on site officers make sense for some businesses, most businesses don’t have the resources or need for an on site presence. For most businesses from CA to CT security systems are the best option, specifically CCTV security systems.
The low cost of CCTV security systems makes them a perfect choice for protecting your business. Readily displayed cameras have proven to deter criminal activity, and high quality video feeds make reporting and capturing vandals and perpetrators easy and effective allowing you to get your property back sooner, and keep your business up and running.
CCTV has come a long way since its introduction in the 1960s. Now thanks to infrared technology, DVR, and high quality fiber optics CCTV security cameras can effectively monitor your jobsite 24 hours a day, recording and reporting back any unscrupulous activity. In 1969 a CCTV security camera had to be paired up with a dedicated coaxial line and monitor. In order to have 6 cameras covering 6 different angles of your building you would also need 6 different lines and 6 individual monitors.
Now days the lines are slim and high tech, making data cabling for security systems easy and highly effective. Additionally a single monitor can capture and view feeds from a dozen different cameras, even split the screen to simulcast multiple cameras at once. High definition technology has also made capturing and deciphering activity much easier to see and understand.
Don’t let a lack of security leave you vulnerable to theft, vandalism, and damage to your property. Protect your business by installing a custom designed CCTV security system. Security cameras not only protect your assets and pocket book but also keep your employees safe and secure, all without impacting your bottom line. Now that’s what I call a good view.
