Why Retailers Should Have an Up To Date Security Solution Installed
We know that having CCTV cameras are a must have for any business these days. However, it is more important that ever to ensure the security systems you have in place are up to date. The right selection of CCTV surveillance cameras will be a good investment that will pay for itself when reducing stock loss, anti-social behaviour and worry for the business owner.
Reduce Theft
Theft of stock can have a significant effect on your bottom line. A CCTV camera in full view will be a deterrent, sending on the would-be thief to another location. Shoplifters will only operate in places where they are less likely to get caught. If somebody tries to steal in your store, your security staff will be monitoring the footage in real time and can act immediately. In addition, any footage can be used to support legal action.
Securing Your Premises Constantly
Your CCTV cameras are working 24 hours a day, every day of the week. The footage will be viewable from your smartphone when the premises is shut out of hours. Many would be intruders prefer to take advantage of quiet night-time hours when they may not be detected. Modern security cameras take night time footage that is a clear as footage taken in the middle of the day.
Protect your staff and your business
Having CCTV will also protect your staff as they know if there are any issues with anti-social behaviour or bullying it will be caught on the footage. New employees that might be tempted to help themselves to stock will think twice. With the addition of covert cameras vandalism and dumping can also be monitored.
Fraudulent claims
Insurance claims for falls or injury by customers or staff on the premises can be a concern. Footage can be used as supporting evidence in court, so it is important it is captured on high definition cameras. This footage will be stored securely in the cloud and having a security company that can implement a redaction service to comply with GDPR is key.
