Should I Invest in Video Surveillance?
May 11, 2007

As a tool (and as a cultural phenomenon), video surveillance is on the rise. We’ve become a nation of conspicuous consumers of surveillance technology—buying cameras, putting them wherever we can, pointing them at whatever we can, and then buying newer cameras, cheaper ones, higher-resolution ones, tinier ones, and of course digital ones with fantastic gadgetry.

Besides being curious—video surveillance has several practical uses such as:

  • Keeping an eye on the parking lot outside of your store
  • A close-up of what’s stuffed in your customer’s jacket
  • Rows of cubicles
  • The employee punching-in his buddy’s time card
  • A priceless antique
  • The service entrance
  • Your cash register
  • Deliveries
  • Monitoring customer interactions
  • And of course examining anything that moves

On a grander scale, video surveillance can help with:

  • Ensuring the safety of your employees and customers
  • Avoiding frivolous lawsuits
  • Preventing employee and customer theft
  • Evaluating your employees customer service skills
  • Reducing insurance premiums

Peace of mind is worth paying for in today’s business environment. Whether you own a clothing store, a shipping and packaging company, or a restaurant, odds are that you have considered installing a closed circuit television (CCTV) and why not protect your business when, recent advances in IP (Internet Protocol) digital video security systems have lowered the cost and tremendously raised the user-friendliness of video surveillance.
