Owning a business is stressful enough without needing to worry about theft and loss of money. As a business owner, you need to be confident that everything runs as it should, and that you and your employees are not at risk in any way. This is where video surveillance can come in handy. Its many benefits will allow you to have peace of mind, and it doesn’t have to cost you much — plenty of companies will sell you cloud-connected or CCTV cameras with resolutions between 720 and 1080 pixels for a low sum. Check out how they can help your business!


Crime Deterrent


Even simply having a sign stating that you have video surveillance has been proven to deter criminals from stealing from your business. You don’t have to go all out either — investing in simple closed-circuit television systems can help to show potential criminals that you will not tolerate any criminal activity and that there will be evidence if they do anything.


Evidence


Speaking of evidence, should a criminal still have the guts to steal from you, you will have clear footage of the act. This can help police catch the culprit, and once they have been apprehended, video surveillance of them in the act is rather indisputable, and they will be punished for their crime.


Increased Productivity


The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports that employee theft can cost businesses between $20 billion and $40 billion every year, but surveillance cameras can help. You will be able to clearly see not only an employee stealing actual product, but an employee stealing time. Stealing time is defined as when an employee takes significant time away from their job to do personal work, at the hindrance of the company. If your employees know that you can see what is happening daily, they will be much less likely to be unproductive.


Having video security with remote access may help you eliminate theft and losses by about 80% in addition to improving productivity. Will you be investing anytime soon?
