Who’s watching your store in between blinks?
While you may be thinking about your business during lunch meetings, holidays and even sleep, who is keeping an eye (or four) on your physical store, property and data?
The need for wide-angled business security cameras isn’t just a best business practice it’s common sense. Camera placement is crucial to capture the desired footage. Although companies in different sectors have unique security camera goals, here are the top four locations to secure a recording device as recommended by a trained WIRED IT technician.
1. Front Entrance and Back Door
As the main gateway to your storefront, identifying who is coming in and going out through a controlled entrance and exit protects against theft and acts as another layer of staff and customer protection.
2. Point of Sale System
A security camera positioned behind the front counter safeguards customer to cashier transactions whether it be by card or cash.
3. Common Public Area
Monitoring staff-break rooms, the manager’s office as well as retail/product areas act as liability coverage for witnessing staff arguments, shoplifting and ensure efficient workflow.
4. Parking Lot
Brands that provide the helpful convenience of a parking lot for their customers can promote a safe environment for employees and patrons as they enter and leave your business.
Now that you have the ideal placements mapped out, WIRED techs suggest making sure your Network Video Recorder (NVR) has the hard drive capacity to hold two weeks to a month’s worth of footage pending your industry.
