Subject: Are You Thinking of Upgrading Your CCTV?

Here Are 3 Important Factors To Consider When Setting Up Your CCTV

CCTV can help make your employee and your clientele feel safer. As much as CCTV act as deterrent to would-be offenders, it also provides some level of comfort and assurance that if by chance the worst happens, all will be recorded and any criminal activity dealt with as would be expected.

 

However, if your CCTV is badly configured or cameras are not rightly positioned, you may as well not have or bother having one at all. A badly positioned or configured CCTV system is investment going down the drain and you may have a tough time explaining to management why this was not properly addressed if it came to the crunch.

 

But it’s not just safety and security that video surveillance and monitoring offers – our latest technology can provide other perks, particularly in retail, that can reduce losses, improve merchandising trouble-spots, and provide an overall better customer experience using intelligent solutions.

If you’re thinking of upgrading your existing CCTV systems, or implementing one from scratch, it’s likely to be a waste of time and money if done poorly. If you’re not considering a review right now, then maybe you should be!


Here’s three important factors to consider:

  • Setup & Configuration- you must look into positioning, pixel, shutter speed and lighting of your cameras.

  • Maintenance & Proactive Monitoring - yearly servicing is simply not enough. You need to ensure your CCTV system is regularly maintained, the smallest change can make the biggest difference.

  • Evaluation- Your CCTV system should be continuously monitored and evaluated. It’s essential that the quality of recordings will be enough to be used in evidence, and that all hotspots are adequately covered.

Again, it is not out of place to seek professional advice. Have you sought professional advice from a consultant recently, or even the past year or two? Quite often CCTV systems are installed and just left at factory default settings for several years, doing a pretty much useless job.
