It’s no secret there are security measures that will help keep a business running smoothly. If you currently have an alarm, there could be better business CCTV systems on the market.

Why a Business Needs a CCTV

From the day-to-day to the out-of-the-blue occurrences, a lot can and does go on in and around your business that you should know about. Are the current work processes efficient? Could you have hired a thief? Did a customer really slip and fall right outside your store? Having a closed-circuit television system monitoring the workplace can help you answer all of these questions, and more. Not only will security surveillance keep you informed, but it can also help deter mishaps and may even score your business a deal on insurance.

Better Business CCTV Systems

Hooking up a camera to a monitor is one way of surveying the area. Having the ability to control that camera and monitor remotely is a better option. Whether you’re working with a camera connected to a DVR, or you have security cameras that come compatible with mobile apps, remote access can be key when you’re not around, or when you need to review the tapes.

Some business CCTV systems are PC-based, allowing you to sign in to the system interface anywhere you can access the web. This is especially helpful for businesses with multiple locations. A site visit could mean logging in online for a quick check-in, or reviewing yesterday’s feed at your earliest convenience.

A CCTV system that uses a digital video recorder allows the user to easily upload video files for review or to save them to another device—like a CD or external drive. This will come in handy if you need to submit physical evidence of a specific occurrence—either employee or customer related. It also helps when backing-up videos. You can organize events by time, date, or location, and keep record of what’s working in the office, who’s not working, and how things could improve.

Business CCTV systems are becoming more and more customizable, only making it easier for businesses to succeed. Integrate multiple cameras into a digital CCTV system for even more visibility into your business. Running a business means managing employees, processes, and customer interactions. Take better control over these responsibilities by investing in a CCTV system that can keep up. Contact the Security Five specialists at 610-323-9511 to learn more.
