One of the best ways you can protect yourself, your loved ones and your assets is by installing a CCTV security camera. Whether you want to monitor activity, deter crime or simply have the peace of mind that your property is being is being looked after, CCTV cameras are a fantastic security option.
This blog will explore the key reasons why installing a security camera may be just what you need to boost your property’s security.
Crime Deterrence
Installing visible CCTV cameras is one of the best ways you can deter criminals from targeting your property. Burglars and vandals will be deterred from committing any crimes if they know they are being recorded and could be prosecuted. In fact, studies have shown that properties with visible CCTV systems are far less likely to be targeted than those without.
Remote Monitoring
One of the biggest advantages of installing a CCTV camera system is that they provide continuous 24/7 surveillance, so you don’t need to be present to monitor your property. With IDS CCTV systems, you can even access the live footage of your property via your smart phone from anywhere in the world.
This is great for providing peace of mind if you are away from your home or business and want to make sure your property is still being monitored.
Evidence Collection
Another reason why you should consider installing CCTV cameras is that in the unfortunate event that a crime does take place on your property, the CCTV footage can be used to help identify potential suspects and witnesses, providing crucial evidence.
Whether it’s a break-in, vandalism or accident, video surveillance can provide time-stamped proof of what occurred which will not only help law enforcement in their investigations, but can also support any insurance claims you may need to make.
Employee and Customer Safety
If you own a shop or business, you know that the safety of your employees and customers is paramount. CCTV cameras can monitor your workplace so that in the case of theft, harassment or workplace accidents, the footage can help clarify the events and ensure fair treatment for all parties involved.
So, whether you’re a homeowner or business owner, CCTV cameras are a wise investment that can save you time, money and stress in the long run.
