Luckily, there are lots of choices in the market to fit your needs and the reason why Shuretech can provide you with security solutions tailored specifically to your business needs.  

With this in mind, here is our guide to the main benefits of implementing CCTV for your business. Read on to discover more.

A preventive measure for thieves

Other than obscenely easy access, having CCTV for your business is quite likely the key thing that is going to stop thieves from gaining access to your business and what lies within it. Having CCTV is going to be the factor that instantly deters criminals as well as thieves. These people are going to look for specific target locations that will draw a small amount of attention to themselves.

Seeing a CCTV system installed at your business is certainly going to be a factor that encourages thieves to move on to a new target, as they will not want to be caught on CCTV. as well as this it is impactful for both external and internal security, CCTV cameras can prevent theft by making sure all areas are monitored.

CCTV can be used as a valid form of evidence

As previously mentioned, CCTV is a huge factor that puts off lots of potential thieves. However, all you need to do is make one accidental move or not notice a camera and you are caught in the act and evidence has instantly been acquired.

Whatever the size of your businesses, no matter how big or small, perhaps your business keeps your sensitive data or money stored within it. CCTV surveillance systems permit you to make sure that these high-risk areas are protected further, while also providing you with invaluable evidence in the event that something unfortunate such as a burglary happens.

Staff security

Ensuring the safety of your employees is utterly crucial. After all, it is not just about the security of your business but the security of your workforce too. Ensuring your employees are safe is the absolute bare minimum you need to be offering as an employer. You certainly need to factor this in and it is within your best interest too, if people know they are safe at work they will no doubt feel more relaxed and be able to focus on work much more easily.

In the unfortunate circumstances of this actually happening, your CCTV footage is going to give you the evidence you require but can help stop the wrong accusation and definitive lack of trust among employees which all contribute to a productive and secure workplace. Overseeing the safety of your business is part of being an employer and running a business. Not only can you oversee that everyone is following safety procedures, especially when you may not be present, but the footage can also be used as evidence if there was an accident and a claim was made.

An effective form of record-keeping

It is always wise to keep a record of day-to-day things such as when your staff are coming into and checking out of your site, as well as when deliveries are made or visitors enter the building so you can ensure that operations are running smoothly. Again, it’s again an effective form of making sure that if anything goes wrong, you can rest assured you have some evidence with the CCTV footage in tow.

Potential reduction in insurance premiums

Many insurance companies realise that installing a CCTV system is going to be a factor that will increase your business’ security and what’s more allow you to benefit from reduced insurance premiums. This is because your premises are deemed a lower-level security risk, you experience reduced costs, making your CCTV system a fantastic investment. This of course may vary depending on your insurance policies and your supplier but again is certainly a worthy point to consider.

Customer satisfaction

In a similar way to your employees and staff, your customers or clients are certainly going to

appreciate the effort your businesses have made for their safety and security. As well as this, for some businesses, it is really tricky to oversee and monitor all of their customers and the quality of service they get. CCTV cameras permit you to remotely monitor any activities around the business making sure that there is good customer satisfaction in place. And again this is going to be a factor that gives you the peace of mind and clarity that when you aren’t around to oversee things, that everything is running efficiently and as it should be.

Could increase sales

This sounds strange but having CCTV can actually increase sales for your business, particularly if it’s retail premises. Why, you ask? Because CCTV can allow you to sell more products. This is because having CCTV makes it easier to track customer traffic patterns throughout your business. This permits you to move inventory if you need to and amend stock so that you’re taking full advantage of naturally high-traffic spots.

Enables you to respond quickly and appropriately

CCTV, if remotely monitored, will allow you to oversee what is happening on your commercial property, and when you add the functionality of your businesses security alarm monitoring systems, what you will get is appropriate means of ensuring quick detection and verification of any intrusion on site. You will then be able to dispatch the appropriate assistance as soon as any security threats have been flagged, and this fast response could lead to actual apprehensions of suspects before they are out of your facility.
