Installing a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system in your business has many benefits (many you might not even have thought about).
So, what are the benefits of CCTV for your business?
-
Reduce the risk of theft and vandalism – One of the major benefits of CCTV is the deterrent aspect. The College of Policing estimates that crime fell by 51% in car parks that have visible CCTV. Visibility is key when it comes to ensuring your CCTV system acts as a deterrent. At Saracen, we conduct a full site survey and recommend places to install cameras that give you the best coverage and act as a obvious deterrent.
-
Increase safety measures for your team – CCTV means that you can monitor your staff and check on their safety procedures, timekeeping and behaviour. You do need to inform your employees that you are using CCTV but it when done properly you can improve productivity, minimise the risk of harassment and bullying in the workplace and monitor high-risk areas.

-
Provide evidence for criminal damages or accidents – As we know in life we cannot eliminate all risks, however with CCTV footage you will have the information required for cases and claims that arise from burglary, vandalism or injury to your staff or visitors. This evidence can be extremely useful in insurance claims and to find out what has happened and put in preventative, safety measures in place following any incidents.
-
Decrease insurance premiums and overheads – Insurance companies like anything that minimise the risk of them having to pay out, and CCTV is definitely a sought after deterrent that ranks so highly with insurance companies it can even cause your insurance premiums to go down. Being classed as a lower security risk makes the CCTV installation costs even more cost-effective as you will reap the economic benefits year on year.
-
Peace of mind and reduced stress levels – CCTV means that you have a comprehensive view of your business, premises and activity. Ordinarily you can’t be everywhere all of the time, CCTV gives you the reassurance that you can have control even when you can’t physically be there. When your business is closed for holidays and shutdowns you can still have confidence that your premises are protected and safe.
