Video Surveillance in the Workplace
By Brad | June 25, 2008
According to national statistics, employee theft makes up about 45 percent of a company’s losses and external theft about another 32 percent. Video surveillance equipment can help the bottom line on two fronts, first as a deterrent to theft and as a powerful witness to the crime in a court of law. In a majority of cases, when confronted with video evidence, a suspect will admit to their wrongdoing.
Employee theft and customer accidents are two of the largest contributors to a business’s bottom line that can be controlled through the use of video surveillance equipment. Being able to dispute an accident claim with video evidence that the alleged accident did not occur in the way in which it is claimed, can save you money as well as your company’s reputation.
Video surveillance equipment has also been successfully used to counter claims of employee accidents to save money on insurance costs and to counter accusations. Signs advertising this security will increase its effectiveness, protecting the value of the secured vehicle or area itself.
Cameras act as an excellent deterrent and are extremely useful in the prosecution of criminals. Home security cameras catch them in the act. Cameras recording who comes to your front door and who is round the side or back of your home can be really off-putting for a burglar. Like alarms, systems vary greatly in cost and quality.
