Reasons to install video surveillance

Every business has their own, unique aspects to consider that can range from daily functions and processes to long-term development. Regardless of industry, business owners want to know that equipment, building(s), and employees are safe.

The most common reasons to install video surveillance at your business include:

  1. Protecting your organization.
  • This can include the interior and exterior of your building(s) and can be focused on equipment, warehouses, processes, entrance points, etc.
  • Video cameras provide a visible sign that your business is being watched and protected which will act as a deterrent for criminal activity.
  1. Protecting your team members.
  • This can include interior work spaces, production lines, exterior work areas, and more.
  • Video cameras provide a visible source of monitoring to show employees and visitors that activity is being monitored for safety without having a security guard present.
  1. Protecting processes.
  • Video surveillance of work stations, production lines, etc. can help to monitor that equipment is being used safely and correctly.
  • This can also assist with monitoring the functionality of equipment in order to know when servicing or maintenance may be required.
  1. Protecting records.
  • For some industries, video surveillance allows for a digital record of events that can be archived for reference.
  • This can assist businesses who may need to verify customer or service provider exchanges, or other interactions to confirm and clarify situations.
