Many people choose to install a video surveillance system to catch perpetrators of crime right in the act. You will have video evidence to assist the police to catch those who broke-in, shoplifted, or vandalized your property. If you have a business, unfortunately, crime doesn’t just happen by visitors. Worker theft accounts for nearly 62% of all retail theft (retail theft accounts for nearly $42 billion of loss a year). Having a surveillance system will help you catch thieves, vandals, and other criminals red handed.

If questions arise between you and a customer, or among employees, you can use the surveillance system to resolve those conflicts. For example, if something around the office or store goes missing, you can check the cameras to see who had it last, and where it ended up. Or if a customer complains that they were not helped within the first ten minutes of their arrival, you can confirm or deny their story with the tapes.

Surveillance systems can also deter criminals. If visitors to your property know that they are being monitored, they will be less likely to commit a crime. Install your video surveillance system where it can easily be seen by visitors, and put up signs letting people know that they are on camera.
