What can you do to help your business stay safe, and keep yourself protected?
Every shop owner and business owner fears a crime at their location. Convenience stores tend to be the hardest hit by crime and theft, and if something should happen in your business, you’ll want cameras in place to protect you, protect employees, and help identify the perpetrator.
CCTV offers 24/7 monitoring, as well as the ability to record and later replay key footage. They are a vital and frankly indispensable tool for every small business owner. Let’s investigate this technology and see what makes it so important in today’s world.
CCTV stands for “closed circuit television”. Essentially, goings-on are recorded and transmitted locally, within a store or shop. The events witnessed by the linked camera system are transmitted back to a central, internal hub for digital recording and storage, allowing either you or law-enforcement to access this data later. CCTV can employ either video only, or audio and video, meaning you’ll be able to see and hear the event being played back.
The benefits of having a CCTV system professionally installed in your business are immeasurable. Criminals are identified and later caught because of CCTV camera footage every day. If a dispute arises with an employee, having visual and audio evidence to verify what did or did not take place can be a huge legal help. The same is true of unpleasant or dangerous interactions with customers.
Should a crime take place on your property, the CCTV system can clear you of direct involvement or liability, and if you should be the victim of a crime, the silent witness of this camera system can help you to get justice, reclaim stolen funds, or verify that you yourself were compliant with all laws and standards during a robbery. Should you be in the unfortunate situation of suspecting an employee of theft, the CCTV camera system can help you confirm or alleviate your concerns.
