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.
