Peace of Mind
Deterrent to Crime
One of the biggest advantages to a surveillance system is the deterrent to crime. When a potential thief knows that you have cameras on your property, you are a "hard target". He knows that he is likely to get caught should he rob or vandalize your property. A surveillance system encourages him to go elsewhere.
Recovery of Property
Having very high resolution video cameras recording any motion on your property gives authorities concrete evidence when trying to recover your property. A high definition system provides a much clearer picture, giving you a much better chance to identify who is responsible.
Liability
Every business owner and homeowner knows that if someone is hurt on your property, you are potentially liable. Installing cameras that can document an incident may be the difference between paying a large settlement which could bankrupt you, and proving that you were not at fault.
Keep a Real-Time Eye on Things
We all worry while we are away. With a security camera system, you can keep an eye on your business or home while you are away. Check to see when that package arrived. Make sure the pets or livestock are behaving themselves. See if employees have locked up. Monitor valuable equipment inside building or in outside storage areas.
Business Disaster Planning
Businesses are encouraged to prepare business disaster plans to respond to theft, vandalism, lawsuits, etc. It is more cost effective to invest in preventative measures than to respond to a disaster after it occurs.
