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.

Sometimes a sign may warn that digital video surveillance is covering an area, and even if there is no actual visual surveillance then some malicious agents will be deterred by the belief that there may be. Also, often when there is actual security present in an area, such as video surveillance, an alarm system in a home, or an anti-theft system in a car.
Burglars know that there are many houses with little or no home security measures, which could provide softer targets. By installing a few simple home security measures such as an alarm, window locks and a CCTV system, you can greatly reduce your chances of falling victim to burglary. Burglars like easy opportunities. They don’t like locked windows because breaking glass attracts attention. Burglars use the owner’s absence to their own advantage.
Home security is an issue to which we all need to give a large thought. Home security is a serious business and you are encouraged to speak with a professional security expert for more information. Home security isn’t just about your own home, either. A lot of determining whether or not you’re a significant risk involves taking stock of your neighborhood including public safety facilities like police and fire stations.
Home security is important for everybody. You can maintain home security in numerous ways including installing one or multiple home security cameras in your home. Home Security is more important today than ever before. Not only does a Monitored Alarm System provide you with peace of mind, but it actually significantly decreases your chances of being victimized in your own home or business.
Home security is one of the easiest ways to protect our family members and our possessions. The police and fire departments do excellent jobs but they can’t be every where so it falls to us to help in the protection of our homes. Home security is a responsibility.
Owning a home is a milestone for most people, but when you take on the responsibility of a home, you become liable for all incidences that may occur because of your stance on home security.
Home Security is one of the most important things that anyone can invest in. The fact of the matter is that homes that have some form of home security or another are less likely to have burglaries and break-ins than homes that don’t have some form of home security.

When a rules based event has been detected, designated monitoring personnel are alerted. Events are displayed in real time. Alert escalates if no action is taken within user defined time frames. Escalation can mean sending video info to the next person on the list, or multiple persons either at your facility or anywhere outside your facility, phone calling or emailing notifications, contacting private security guards or remote monitoring facilities, sounding alarms, flashing lights, etc.
Critical visual and text data can be sent to first-response personnel via cell phone, pager or PDA evice. Mission critical information is available in the field, in real-time.

Remote interactive monitoring with 2 way “Voice Down” capability can be incorporated into your video security/surveillance system.
When an alarm is triggered via motion detection signal from video, passive infrared beam, etc., a trained security specialist at your monitoring station views the video to assess the situation. They can speak directly to intruder to warn them away, call police, etc.
No more after the fact, let’s replay our video to see what damage they did.
This technology stops crime in the making.
