As you can see and hear in the media, or read in our previous blog posts – thefts and vandalism are on the rise. While there are different thoughts and reasons that this rise may be happening, the important thing is that your business is safe. In this blog post we look at why CCTV cameras in Cambridgeshire are important.
A Crime Deterrent
CCTV cameras are a great crime deterrent to thieves or vandals considering entering your property to cause damage or steal from your business. Everyone knows what a CCTV camera looks like. Potential thieves will check out your building for things like CCTV cameras when deciding if they should target your business or not. The mere sight of a CCTV camera can often be enough to deter a potential criminal considering breaking into your business premises.
An Activity Monitor
Your CCTV surveillance cameras will be picking up and monitoring all the activity taking place at your business premises. This means that you can keep an eye on your employees at work. You can also keep an eye on your business after hours and during weekends, for example. CCTV cameras at your business will give you and your employees an extra level of safety and security. That level of peace of mind can be invaluable.
Evidence Collection
In the unfortunate event of your business being broken into, the CCTV cameras will have recorded the footage that you need. The high-resolution of the footage can be used in court and as a good case of evidence. This footage can also be used to catch or find the criminal that broke into your business premises.
Support in Disputes
There will be times when disputes at work arise. This could be about the times that employees arrived or left work for the day, for example. When disputes like this arise you will know the truth because it is all; caught on your CCTV cameras. This surveillance can also support you if there are customer complaints, employee theft, altercations and more.
Insurance Premium Reductions
You may also find that your insurance premiums are lowered if you have high quality CCTV cameras installed. Due to the fact that you are investing in your business security this shows an insurance company you are serious about your security. They will often reduce your insurance further to this extra level of security.
