When it comes to the overall safety and security of your business, video surveillance and security cameras are a must. Closed-circuit television cameras use advanced technology and recording processes in order to allow businesses to lower their costs while protecting their assets. There are a variety of benefits businesses can avail by installing a video surveillance system. Here are 10 benefits of video surveillance and 10 reasons businesses should opt for CCTV monitoring.

Prevent and Reduce Chances of Theft
By placing CCTV cameras at strategic locations throughout your businesses’ operating area, you can help prevent acts of vandalism, break-ins, and other serious crimes. With more than 275 million reports of thefts in businesses worldwide, installing a CCTV monitoring system is therefore extremely important.

Real-time Video Surveillance
One of the main business benefits of video surveillance is the real-time footage available as and when required for business owners. Such commercial video surveillance methods traditionally used to require you to hire an extra person to keep an eye on all real-time footage while remaining on premise. But today, with technological advancements, such monitoring can be easily conducted from a remote computer, mobile phones or tablets.

Useful Criminal Evidence
CCTV camera footage is exceptionally important if a crime is committed either within your office premises or around it. Not only is the footage valuable to spot and find out the perpetrator of the crime, but also use the same in court as evidence. Often times, jurors or judges make entire decisions based on CCTV monitoring footage and convict the perpetrator based on that.

Better Employee Productivity
If you own a restaurant or have a retail business or even a factory, better employee efficiency should be a major reason behind selecting CCTV surveillance as your security measure of choice. It has been proven that employees tend to work the hardest when being monitored with CCTV cameras. Electronic surveillance of employees also ensures your floor manager get more time to work on the critical aspects of their work rather than focusing their entire attention on monitoring people.

Put a Stop to Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment in the workplace is an ongoing issue in many countries, despite the stringent regulations in place. In 2012 itself, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission received almost 7,500 complaints in the US alone, resulting in a payout of almost $43 million in favor of the plaintiffs. Installing CCTV cameras can not only serve as a strict deterrent and provide your employees a safer place to work, but also ensure any such reprehensible activities are caught in the act.

Resolve Internal Business Disputes
No matter the scale of your business or the office space you cover, disputes are bound to occur. These disputes could be between employees and managers, between employees and you, or even to the employees themselves. Usually, in such cases, you will need to figure out exactly what went wrong before things get out of hand. A surveillance camera can provide ample proof in such cases to solve the incident by providing a fair resolution.

Improve Your Customer’s Shopping Experience
It might sound strange but efficiently placing CCTV cameras around your retail space can actually help your customers by allowing you to observe their behaviors more closely. This, in turn, can help you provide a better shopping experience. Customers feel cared-for and comforted when they notice CCTV installations around them, while you can better your product placement based on the behavior recorded on-screen.

Cut Down Security-related Costs
CCTV surveillance in business also has an added benefit of reduced costs as compared to other traditional sources. Placing CCTV cameras throughout your premises will run costs which are much cheaper than hiring round the clock security officers for strategic locations.

Monitor High-risk Areas
If you own a factory or deal with dangerous chemicals or goods, then you are bound to have several high-risk areas within your premises where human thoroughfare is extremely limited. At the same time, placing CCTV cameras within such locations not only cuts the risk of having someone physically watch over such dangerous areas, but also allow you to see the place in real-time.

Fool-proof Coverage
A well-designed and efficient CCTV infrastructure placement within your business premise can provide 100% security coverage. Multiple cameras work together to provide a security mesh which can easily be tracked from a single command center. This way, you can keep an eye on the vulnerable areas while ensuring the safety of people under your employ. CCTV monitoring also prevents human-errors from ever hampering your security measures, thereby laying a strong case for installing them as soon as possible.
