An Extra Set of Eyes on Your Business with CCTV

May 24, 2019

In the 21st century, a well-thought out and integrated commercial security system within your business is a crucial investment, designed to not only protect your products, intellectual property and physical property, but to also keep you and your employees safe at work.

At Castle Security, your commercial security is our top priority and it has been for the past 20 years, which is why we are advocates for customised commercial security systems that are designed for the particular needs of your business.

Whether you run a retail outlet or an office building, Castle Security will generally recommend that you integrate a CCTV system as part of your wider commercial security system. CCTV systems are an incredibly beneficial investment to businesses, as they are the eyes that keep watch over your property 24/7.

Never miss a minute with CCTV

With CCTV systems, your business is constantly under surveillance, which is not just crucial to deterring and apprehending thieves and other criminals, it can also be a cost-effective way to keep employees safe and boost employee productivity.

For small and medium-sized businesses, installing a CCTV system is a necessity; they provide around-the-clock protection to your business, products and employees and when positioned correctly, are an invaluable tool in deterring and catching callous crooks.

CCTV systems also have additional benefits, such as:

  • Deterring and preventing employee theft;
  • Becoming a useful piece of evidence in the case of criminal activity;
  • Increasing customer confidence in your business;
  • Providing you with eyes on your business, even when you aren’t on site; and
  • Monitoring activity in any sensitive or high-risk areas, such as loading docks.

Optimal locations for CCTV systems 

Much like any commercial security system, it is important to plan the placement of your CCTV system within your business to get the best results. There’s no point in installing a CCTV system if it’s not picking up crucial vision of your business!

As a rule of thumb, you should install CCTV in areas of your business that need the most sets of eyes on them, such as the till or reception, front door, entry and exit gates, stock rooms, loading docks, secluded areas, customer interaction points and any areas with sensitive information.

Added security for your business

Commercial security systems often consist of many security products working in unison to protect your business.

Access control systems can work with CCTV to provide you with a security package that monitors and physically protects your business, allowing you to control who accesses your business and where exactly they can access.

Another security product that is standard to most businesses is an alarm system, which can alert you, as well as your nominated security company, that there has been unauthorised access to your building.

Quick and easy installation

While installing CCTV cameras may seem like a job that could be carried out by your local handy man, a qualified and trusted company, such as Castle Security, should always undertake security system installation.
