5 Reasons Why You Absolutely Need A CCTV Camera

Are you probably worried about your home safety?

Would you like to have a system that can discourage burglars?

If your answer to these questions is yes, then you need a CCTV camera.

I found a study online that was quite intriguing.

This study was carried out by a research team from the University of North Carolina.

It was found that a home is less likely to be burglarized 50% of the time if the burglars notice the home has a CCTV camera.

Quite interesting, right?

In this post, I will show you 5 reasons why you need a CCTV camera in your home or your business.

By the end of this post, you will be convinced to install a CCTV camera on your property.

Let's begin.

Security and Surveillance

Never underestimate the effect having a CCTV camera has.

It is truly amazing.

Now why is this?

A CCTV camera can capture the moment.

The burglar knows this which means if your property has one or more CCTV cameras then they fear this camera can help identify them if shown to the police.

With the internet, the owner of the camera can upload the video online and ask anyone who sees the video to help identify the person if they know who it was.

So many criminals have been caught this way and although it does not always work it goes a long way to help protect one's property by deterring criminals.

Some CCTV cameras also have an alarm which is very loud and can activate itself when need be.

This can be a huge turnoff for burglars which is why if they notice a CCTV camera is present it can lead to them not having to commit the crime in the first place.

Still not convinced as this being a good reason why you need a CCTV camera?

Then keep on reading.

Peace Of Mind

Owning a CCTV camera is like having an extra pair of eyes on your property.

This can be especially useful if you are not always around.

One thing about these devices...

...is the fact that several persons can connect to it.

Let's say you have a business owned by your family.

You all need to keep an eye on this business and you are all far away.

You can install a CCTV camera and every member of your family would have access to monitor the business through their mobile phone or computer at either the same time or different times.

You can use this device to monitor your child or even your old parents.

This can give you peace of mind to know that they are okay when you are not around them.

This is certainly a good reason why you need a CCTV camera.

Evidence In Case Of An Incident

This is one of the reasons why having a CCTV camera can be considered to be extremely important.

No one is hoping for anything bad to happen.

But if it does happen, then a CCTV camera can serve as a huge advantage to provide evidence to prove something occurred.

Just go on YouTube and you will see many incidences that have been captured by a CCTV camera which if it did not exist then no one would have believed such a thing occurred.

In so many court cases events caught on CCTV cameras have been used as evidence for or against someone.

Do not allow something like this to happen to you before you realize a CCTV camera might have helped to prevent this.

This is certainly a good reason why you need a CCTV camera.

Increased Productivity

Ever wonder how often your employees are left idle when you are not around?

Or maybe your kids consider it a free pass to have fun when you are not at home?

Then install a CCTV camera and watch productivity increase drastically.

This is because when we know we are been watched we tend to want to do better than when we are not been watched.

This can help your employees to be more focused at work because they know the boss is always watching.

And if they become idle, you can use the CCTV camera's feature of having a speaker to communicate with the person close to the camera.

Cool, right?

Your kids would misbehave less in your home when you are not around if they knew their parents could be watching them through a CCTV camera.

This can give you peace of mind when you are not around because you would be able to keep an eye on your business or your loved ones.

Improve Customer Service

This is one you probably did not think about but do you know that you can improve customer service in your business by installing one or more CCTV cameras?

You can monitor your employees to see how they interact with customers so the customer can be better served.

You can also inform your employees about a customer that requires assistance.

This can go a long way in improving your business because customers would be properly attended to.

This can also help prevent or reduce crime in your business because your security team or employee can monitor a customer's movement through a CCTV camera to make sure they don't steal anything from your business. And if they do they can be apprehended because there is clear evidence against them.

Conclusion

After reading this post I am sure you are now convinced that having a CCTV camera on your property might not actually be all that bad.

It can help you for security and surveillance, it can give you peace of mind, it can help you provide clear evidence if need be, you can also keep a close eye on your loved ones or your employees.
