Importance Of CCTV

If you've got CCTV protecting your premises, then you might be impressed with the job that it does, and that it records everything that goes on that could affect you. If you haven't yet got it, here's why you might be reluctant to install it.

1. CCTV has to be monitored all the time. You need to be proactive and stop things happening, rather than being reactive and responding to them afterwords.

2. In order to be useful, you'll need to have several cameras, so that you can monitor the whole of the building and the perimeter. This means that the footage from lots of cameras will need to be closely scrutinized all the time.

3. If you're still recording onto video, then you'll know how slow is to review footage, and to categories tapes and make sure that nothing gets erased. How long do you keep the footage for? Where do your store it?

4. You need to watch the footage and be aware of incidents that could possible escalate into something more serious. Lots of people might be acting a bit odd, or suspiciously, so which ones do you concentrate on? What about the teenagers with their hoods up in your store? Are they hiding their identity or just cold?

5. You'll have to manually make a log of everything significant. Whether you choose to write it down in a book, or put it on the computer might depend, but you'll still have to spend a lot of time writing things down.

6. If you share the job of monitoring the cameras with others, then there is likely to be some discrepancies as to what counts as significant. What one person might think of as significant, you might not. This will mean that looking for patterns in behaviour, such as seeing which days a certain person was caught on camera, or how many times a certain door was used, will be extremely difficult.

7. You might need to find an individual in a crowd, and this can be very difficult. You might know who the individual is, and what they look like, but can't follow them because they can hide in a crowd. Think about how useful this ability would be if you worked at a football stadium, or in a shopping centre.

8. CCTV and the people whoi monitor the cameras can't always distinguish between good intent and bad intent. Is the person outside the jewellers waiting for a friend, or are they about to rob the place? Has somebody left their shopping behind, or is that a suspicious package? Is that person nervous in the airport because they don't like flying, or are they hiding something?

9. Video Analtics much more effective and useful. Adding video analytics means that the CCTV footage relies much less on somebody monitoring it, and can actually inform when something happens.

10. Other forms of security systems such as biometrics can be used with CCTV and video analytics, to create a very impressive, unintrusive and cost effective way of securing your premises and making the workplace safer for your customers and staff.
