Everyone is familiar with seeing security cameras in places like retail stores. Commercial surveillance camera systems provide users with countless benefits, including asset protection, enhanced security, theft deterrence, and loss reduction.
While most of the commercial surveillance camera uses listed above are fairly well known, there are other lesser-known applications that more and more people are beginning to discover.
Security cameras can record cash transactions at registers, monitor remote areas of a property for safety reasons, achieve employee monitoring for accountability purposes, and record visitors coming or leaving a parking area for enhanced safety.
Security camera footage is widely used to help with criminal situations as well as liability complaints. These include everything from sexual harassment and burglary attempts to deterring vandals, asset retrieval, identification, and many more.
Sometimes video surveillance recordings are also used to help prove someone’s innocence. Having video footage of someone’s whereabouts while they are on your property can be invaluable in the event someone becomes falsely accused of a criminal act they did not actually commit.
For these reasons, there are specific locations that are highly recommended to have commercial security cameras installed. These generally include parking areas, cash registers, loading docks, entries, and exits, among others.
