With over 40 plus years as a business owner or general manager of businesses I have seen it all-a few times over
. Why would a sane business owner not have at least one security camera? They have so much invested in their business.
Here are some reasons why they wouldn't have one.
1. They have honest employees--Guess again bunky. 40% of all business losses are due to employee theft.
2. Their customers are honest--Wrong again. 30 % of all business losses are from shoplifting.
3. You are making money--Congrats on that one. How much more could you make with lower losses?
4. Your Insurance Rate is Already Low--Nice try! No business ever claims their insurance rates are too low. Most insurance companies give discounts for businesses that have security cameras installed in coordination with the insurance company loss prevention team.
Here are some of the best ways to protect your business with security cameras.
The absolute best way is to install a complete surveillance system. First of all it sends a message to would be crooks that you are watching them and secondly if they are dumb enough to steal or vandalize your building they will have their picture taken at least once.
Complete systems can have anywhere from four to sixteen cameras and all the appropriate hardware and software to make it easy to install and easy to use from brackets to mount the cameras to software to split the screen into as many as sixteen smaller screens to view everything at once.
Prices start at around $500.00 and go up from there depending on system type. How much is your company worth?
Another option is a high speed dome camera with pan, tilt, and zoom capability. These high tech machines can be installed indoors or outdoors. They have amazing capabilities with 360 degree rotation for continuous monitoring. The 216 X zoom gives you amazing ability to zoom in on someone in your store or parking lot for great identification as an example.
Can you use a security camera for your business? You actually can't afford to not have one! They send a message to outsiders and employees and customers-'we are watching so don't mess with us.'
Bring your security camera game to the next level with a complete system or a PTZ dome camera. Find out what is going on when you are not there at home, your business or office with one of these technical marvels.
A business security camera will keep honest employees and customers honest and catch the bad apples. That is exactly what you want.
