No matter what type of business you have, it can benefit from security cameras. If your property isn't fully covered by security cameras, consider having more installed so you can see all parts of your property and inside your building. Here are places you may need video monitoring and how commercial security camera installation may be done.
Parking Lot
The camera installation company may mount security cameras on light poles in your parking lot. The visibility of the cameras may help discourage crime, but if someone does break into a car or attack someone, the camera will pick up the details so the person can be identified. It's good to have every parking space in the lot covered by one of the cameras so there are no places where crime can occur and not be noticed.
Back And Front Entrance
To keep your back entrance secure, you'll probably want good lighting and cameras mounted on a pole light and the building so your back door is always in view of a camera. This will require multiple cameras. If you have a large building, you'll need a lot of cameras to cover the spaces indoors and outside. A commercial security camera installation professional knows how to mount cameras so they give the widest coverage. That maximizes the usefulness of each camera while making sure there are no blind spots around your building. You'll probably want cameras situated so the sides, back, and front of your building are always in view of video cameras.
Cash Registers And Interior Space
If your company sells food, clothes, or other items, you'll want cameras situated so the cash registers are under surveillance. These are usually visible so they act as deterrents, but you might also want stealth cameras that can watch for employee theft. Cameras are useful for recording crimes as well as preventing them. They can also be used for live monitoring to watch for shoplifters. Your own security team can watch monitors that display videos from cameras around the inside of your building to pick up on suspicious behavior and theft so the thieves can be caught before they leave the store.
The commercial security camera installation company you work with can help you decide where you want video surveillance and where you don't. You might want cameras in locations where the general public comes and goes in your store and no cameras in the office suite where your employees and executives work. You'll need to decide how many cameras you want to invest in and what kind of crimes you want to monitor for, and then the installation company will set them up to use to their fullest potential.
