What is CCTV
CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a video surveillance system used to monitor and protect property. Modern systems allow real-time viewing and playback via mobile apps, helping to deter crime and provide valuable evidence if incidents occur. CCTV is widely used in homes, businesses, and public spaces, and is increasingly essential for both security and insurance purposes.
Why is CCTV important?
In recent years, video surveillance has grown in importance. CCTV is critical for keeping intruders out of your home or business. CCTV also enables you to collect evidence for ongoing cases or insurance claims. The main purpose of CCTV is to prevent or detect crime; even if you believe you will never need it, it may come in handy one day. CCTV technology has advanced to the point where it can detect and recognise regular visitors and associate their faces with their names. Many countries have now installed CCTV in public areas to aid in the prevention of crime and, in some cases, terrorism.
CCTV in the workplace
CCTV surveillance in the workplace is not uncommon. Using video surveillance in your workplace can help to protect your company internally. It will keep your employees honest because you will be able to track all their activities. CCTV in the workplace reduces the likelihood of workplace theft and bullying. Employees who are aware that they are being watched will remain honest and follow company policies. Video surveillance in the workplace will provide security as well as aid in identifying intruders.
What are some benefits of CCTV
If you need to hear more benefits than those mentioned, here is a list of just a few of the many advantages of CCTV systems.
- As previously stated, CCTV allows law enforcement to identify criminals using cameras. Police can use video surveillance to not only prevent
- crime but also solve cases quickly.
- CCTV helps to protect your property against theft and vandalism. It is extremely difficult to get away with theft when cameras are filming you.
- If no one is aware that a crime has been committed until after it has been committed, CCTV footage will be critical evidence.
- The advancement of facial recognition software allows for more accurate reporting.
- Criminals are extremely unlikely to commit a crime in an area where they are aware that they are being filmed by CCTV.
These are just a few of the numerous advantages of video surveillance. If you do not already have CCTV installed, we strongly advise you to do so.
