We\u2019ve gathered together some of the key benefits of using a CCTV system can have at your place of work and residency.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CCTV<\/strong> (closed-circuit television) system allows the\nuse of videos cameras to monitor the interior and exterior of a property,\ntransmitting the signal to a monitor or set of monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more of us are\nswitching on the benefits of CCTV security systems<\/a>. In the UK it is now estimated that there are\nmore cameras per person than any other country in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metropolitan Police\nCommissioner Bernard Hogan Howe promoted the use of CCTV<\/a>, saying that cameras should be installed by\nhomeowners and businesses to help detectives solve crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The need for residential\nand business CCTV systems is higher than ever before. With the number of police\nofficers patrolling our streets hitting a record low, total recorded offences\nare up by 14%, as reported by The Independent<\/a> in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the obvious\nadvantage of being able to monitor your premises, here are the benefits of\nusing a CCTV system in 2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. DETER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the biggest and\nmost recognized benefit for those who choose to add CCTV systems to their\nproperty. Outside of being able to monitor your premises, CCTV cameras are an\nexcellent deterrent for burglars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like seeing a\nmounted alarm system, an intruder seeing cameras may decide that it\u2019s easier\nand safer to move elsewhere. It\u2019s much better to prevent intrusion than dealing\nwith it after it\u2019s occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost\ncriminals are pretty disorganized, they don\u2019t think about it. The reason the\ncameras are high is two-fold. One is to keep it out of harm\u2019s way.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have found that\nusing CCTV in car parks resulted in a 51% decrease in crime; in public\ntransportation areas a 23% decrease in crime; and in public settings, a 7%\ndecrease in crime. Even the lowest figure, 7%, is a significant improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A report written by\nthe Office for National Statistics<\/a> in 2017 found that 2 in 100 homes were\nvictims of robberies, with 40% of incidents taking place during working hours\nwhilst occupiers are away from their properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same report, 70%\nof burglars gain entry to homes via the front door, while the remaining 30% use\nwindows as an entry point. Therefore, pointing cameras towards these routes of\nentry is the best and most strategic place to add your CCTV device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. IMPROVED HOME INSURANCE\nRATES<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By deterring criminal\nactivity, CCTV security systems<\/a> reduce your home and property insurance\ncosts. You are less of a target, so the risk is lowered, which means the price\nof your insurance decreases too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf\nyou\u2019re the victim of burglary and your home isn\u2019t properly secured, you may\nfind that your home insurance provider could question your claim and refuse to\nreimburse you for any loss.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as being less of\na target, CCTV offers evidence towards insurance claims that you may not have\nhad otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more evidence you\nhave to support your claim, the better, proving beyond doubt the circumstances\nsurrounding your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. PEACE OF MIND<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A camera system provides\npeople with an increased sense of security and reassurance, particularly in\nareas where the crime rate is high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the more sophisticated\nmodels are wireless, meaning they can be viewed and monitored from your\nsmartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gives you the\nability to check in and review your premises at the click of a button, so\nyour home security is always in reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs\nimportantly, you get a whole shot of what happened at the event: What did they\nsteal? Did they use a knife? You get all that. But more relevant today is a\nface. That\u2019s what we need.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It acts as a comfort\nblanket, giving you the freedom to get on with your life, confident that your\nproperty is being watched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. COST-EFFECTIVE<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CCTV system is a\ncost-effective form of security. Once the system has been installed they are\nvery easy to maintain and require little reparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure that your cameras\nare cleaned in order to receive the best performance from your system. Other\nthan this, CCTV systems will keep your premises secure for years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
