Why is CCTV beneficial to Business / Home?
There are a range of benefits to a business/home that a properly installed and maintained CCTV system provides. Sometimes just the sight of CCTV cameras positioned around an establishment is enough to intimidate would-be thieves. Their simple presence is a great deterrence, and will also make your employees / family feel protected throughout the day.
If they are correctly set up, CCTV networks are impenetrable and almost impossible to bypass. A decent system should contain few blinds spots, with focus directed on the most high-risk areas of your individual location. We will be able to provide technicians to advise on the most appropriate setup of the cameras.
Why is maintenance of CCTV so important?
Every business is susceptible to the possibility of a break-in, and CCTV is an important safeguard that cannot be undervalued. But a surveillance system is only as good as the maintenance and upkeep it is given.
Prevention is better than the cure, and it’s always best to frequently monitor the functionality of cameras; if they were to fail during a break-in, you would regret not taking these steps. Additionally, if you are trying to claim from insurance companies and it emerges that you have not kept on top of the CCTV maintenance, this could make insurers less willing to give you a pay-out for damages and losses.
