A Safer Point of View: Top Reasons to Invest in Security Cameras

Hypothetical question, if a burglar were to enter your business after hours, would you be able to pinpoint their route of entrance, activity within the building and exit route just by looking at the camera footage? Proper business security is something every business should not skimp out on, especially cameras. For maximum security, cameras should be placed at all exits and entrances, points of sale, reception areas, exterior areas such as parking lots, and any secluded areas inside or outside your business.

Security cameras are great for identifying thieves, but it doesn’t stop there. Here are five reasons to invest in great security cameras for your business. As we like to say, it’s better to be safe than sorry!

Why is it important to have security cameras?

Employee Accountability

A study by Hiscox estimated that 68 percent of business theft originates from employees. Placing cameras in areas where theft is most likely to occur, can allow you to hold your employees accountable and even catch them in the act!

Protection From Legal Action

Protect your business, yourself, and your employees from false accusations and defamation. Unfortunately, many people will accuse your business of a false claim solely for personal gain. Always stay one step ahead with footage to back up your counter argument.

Monitor Productivity

Employees are human, not robots, and they need breaks every once in a while. But when do those breaks turn into procrastination? One benefit of cameras is being able to check in on your employees every now and then. This is beneficial because it can actually help you pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of each individual person. If an employee is needing to take frequent breaks from a particular task, try moving them to something that fits their personality more. This will result in more productivity and higher employee job satisfaction.

Prevent Theft

A huge deterrent of theft is visible cameras. Everybody knows that video footage is extremely solid evidence. Your fate is sealed if you’re caught committing a crime on camera.

Identify Visitors

The term once a thief, always a thief is very unforgiving, however there is some research-based evidence to back up the old saying. The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that 68% of released prisoners are arrested again within 3 years, 79% within 6 years, and 83% within 9 years. Because recidivism, or repeat offenders, is very common we can usual spot a thief as soon as they walk through the door, because they’ve most likely stolen from you before. Having proper security cameras can allow you to watch them in real time and notify the police as soon as your see a crime committed.
