Your Commercial Security Plan Should Include CCTV

By Mark Mahaffey


No matter what kind of business you are in, you are at risk of crime. If you have a retail store, you have to worry about shoplifters and employee theft. If you own an office, you have to worry about someone breaking in and stealing confidential information. If you work from home, you run the risk of someone breaking into your house and harming your family.

For these reasons, you would do well to put into place a robust security system. Not only will creating a good security strategy help to prevent criminal activity at your business, but it will also bring you great peace of mind, because you are no longer worrying about crime.

Have you ever heard of CCTV? Closed circuit television is a very smart way to protect your business and your assets. The advantage of CCTV is that you are able to guard several areas of your business at the same time, and you do not even have to be present to do so!

For example, if you own a retail store, you can install CCTV in your store. This makes it possible for you to keep an eye on your customers as they shop and reduces the likelihood that they will steal from you. But you can also watch your employees as well.

Do you work in a school? It is always a good idea to try to reduce school violence, and CCTV can be part of that solution. Cameras trained to watch hallways, lunchrooms, playground areas and classrooms can be an excellent way to monitor what is going on at all times.

Working from home is very convenient, but you not only have to protect your office, you have to protect your entire home as well! CCTV is a perfect way to protect your family, your house and your office. Place video cameras in areas outside as well as inside your home.
