What is the purpose of video surveillance for business security?
The significance of corporate CCTV should not be underestimated. Video surveillance systems increase the reliability of accountability to more or less 100%, whilst considerably reducing the cost of protecting a business and its assets.
Criminals tend to target facilities with no human or technical monitoring in place. The very presence of CCTV cameras is the ultimate deterrent for potential criminal activity and arguably more importantly, a popular method to ensure employee and public safety. Similarly, this can be a deterrent for potential theft from personnel with access to important business assets such as cash, stock, sensitive data, and more.
A study of police-recorded crimes across the UK in 2018/19 alone, showed that there were 606,282 crimes against businesses across England and Wales and more often than not, the perpetrators get away with it.
Corporate CCTV systems are key in deterring and detecting instances of business theft.
When CCTV was first introduced, the footage often lacked in quality, often in black-and-white, and VHS video tapes had to be stored. The new generation of CCTV systems use much higher quality cameras and digital recording equipment. Not only can they store more footage, the clarity of the full colour 4K pictures are good enough to see details of facial features, clothing labels and tattoos. Oh - and we can watch live with our smartphones!
