Business
security requires a multitude of tools that track potential theft in
a number of ways. For example, CCTV (or closed-camera television
security) systems provide a widespread level of coverage for a
business that minimizes the risk and impact of theft.
Here
are some important considerations to keep in mind when you are in the
market for some of these units.
CCTV
Systems Protect a Business
CCTV
systems provide detailed video coverage of a business or company's
interior and exterior. The continual monitoring of these areas
improves a company's chance of spotting a potential thief and
deterring other criminal activities. These units can also decrease a
business' insurance rates.
These
units typically provide a multitude of control options, including the
ability to monitor and control each camera independently of each
other. In this way, a business can focus on specific areas that have
experienced secretive thefts and discover the culprit.
Features
on Most CCTV Units
CCTV
security devices typically come with a broad array of features that
make them a more powerful security option. Just a few that business
owners can consider for their unit include the following:
- Monitored tracking
from a security group
- Motion sensors
- Remote
compatibility with various apps
- Live transmission
to various apps
- Archive records
saved in a cloud drive
- Infrared capability
- Wireless control

Try
to find a camera unit that includes all of these high-quality
features. Business owners may pay a little bit more for these
amenities, but they will receive a more accurate and detailed
security system for their business office and other official areas.
Camera
Types to Consider for a Business
When
choosing a CCTV unit to install in a building, business owners and
managers have many different options. The following cameras are just
a few of the available systems on the market for business security
right now:
- Bullet
Commercial. Cameras
of this type are usually installed on the ceiling of various
businesses and work well for larger firms, such as grocery stores
and retail supermarkets.
- Point Tilt and
Zoom. These
smaller cameras include powerful zoom capabilities and the ability
to tilt to track a potential thief. These systems work well with
manned security systems, such as those seen in a casino.
- Dome Camera.
Each camera in this system is housed in a dome to protect the
camera. These cameras are often quite distinct, which makes them an
excellent deterrent for those who are scoping out an area for
theft.
- Covert, Desktop,
and Board.
These tiny cameras are designed to look like another item — like a
smoke detector — and provide a great way to track employees in a
delicate area, such as in a bank vault.
- Day and
Night. Areas
with poor lighting — or businesses more likely to be robbed at
night — benefit from these cameras, as they provide a clearer dark
viewing option.
- 360 Cameras.
Those who want a 360-degree view in a secured area should install
these units. They use four cameras to capture the full zone of a
potential theft area.
- High-Definition. Businesses
that want more detailed images should consider these cameras, which
use high-definition options to capture potential thefts in perfect
detail.
These
cameras are just a few of the options a business owner has when they
are choosing security units for a business. Each choice provides
unique advantages and disadvantages that companies can pick and
choose from when designing a system.
