There are many reasons why installing a digital video surveillance system makes a lot of sense. Here are just a few...
-Reduces Costs. By adding CCTV to supplement your existing security system, insurance premiums can be reduced. Guard services can be more effective by allowing them to be in more than one place at a time.
-24 Hours a Day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, constant surveillance of your valuable assets. This system does not take vacations, coffee breaks; sick leave-it just keeps working.
-Promotes a Safe and Secure Environment. Videos provide a record of incidents that can reduce worker compensation claims and provide visual verification of liability. -
-CCTV helps keep out unwanted visitors. Employees feel security is taken seriously.
-Fires and accidents can be spotted quickly.
-Deters Crime, Malicious Mischief & Vandalism. Criminals, seeing the premises are monitored and recorded, often take their crimes elsewhere.
-Management Tool. Managers can watch the entire planet from their desks.
-Communication improves because employees are readily located. Efficiency improves by keeping an eye on the business. Managers get a better sense of what is happening.
-Raises Productivity by discouraging undesirable activities. Gains of 15 percent and more are not uncommon. Reduces Shrinkage by creating a climate for honesty. Reductions of 50 percent are typical.
-Costs Pennies an Hour. A typical six camera CCTV Multiplex system, observing and recording simultaneously, operating 24 hours a day for five years (which is a very conservative lifespan) costs only 19 cents an hour. Certainly CCTV is the best security value money can buy.
Security Technology: CCTV
WHY GO CCTV?
Mature technology:
Tried and tested system. CCTV is a proven commodity, you know what you get. Good quality products, reliable and sturdy from well established company.
Closed system:
Since the system is closed, there is obviously less opportunities of hacking and intrusion. That can clearly be a crucial factor mitigating in favor of a CCTV system for the more paranoid customers.
Wide variety of products available:
With so many products available in a CCTV system, there are numerous solutions for a potential surveillance customer to consider when selecting from a wide variety of products. The client can choose between multiple manufacturers, various quality items; bw/color; day/night; high/low resolution and numerous lenses. Add to that the multiple channels of PC & Embedded DVR’s.
Perceived low cost solution:
With such a wide variety of products and manufacturers, prices of CCTV items are very cost effective. For instance, color Bullet and dome cameras can be purchased for less than $250.00
Cost efficient infrastructure:
Since most facilities may be already wired with cabling infrastructure from an older VCR-based system, the need for additional wiring required for CCTV greatly diminishes (an expense of a new CCTV install).
Remote accessibility:
Any video stream, live or recorded, can be securely accessed and controlled from any location in the world over wired or wireless networks with Remote Client Software.
Intelligence at camera level:
Motion detection, event handling, sensor input, relay output, time and date, and other built-in capabilities allow the camera to make intelligent decisions on when to send alarms and to whom, when to send video, and even at what frame rate or resolution to send the video.
