Top 5 Benefits of Installing Security Cameras for Your Business -VP Security Solution
A reliable security camera system provides a range of benefits for any Australian business. By recording daily activity in your workplace, you can reduce theft (both internal and external), identify visitors, protect yourself from lawsuits, and monitor productivity.
These significant benefits for a relatively small initial investment can save you significant sums of money every year.
Read on for the finer details of how security camera systems can benefit your business.
Deter Intruders
No matter how insured your business is, a midnight break-in can prove disastrous. Replenishing stocks and lost income will barely affect your bottom line, putting your business under enormous and unnecessary financial pressure.
Identify Visitors
If you manage a restricted workplace, you need to be able to quickly and accurately identify each guest who arrives.
While some businesses opt for an audio intercom or keypad, a video camera system offers the most secure solution. Staff can see and hear who is visiting the premises, giving them all the information they need to decide whether to allow visitors inside.
On the other hand, audio intercoms can be misinterpreted, while PIN codes can be shared between unscrupulous employees.
Reduce Theft
Theft costs Australian businesses around $3 billion annually. Therefore, there is a very good chance that “customers” with mild behavior will have a real negative impact on your business’s bottom line.
Legal Protection
One lawsuit can be enough to devastate your business. Whether it’s a workplace injury or harassment claim, potential settlement and related legal fees can quickly pile up.
Unfortunately, not all claimants and lawyers are honest when filing a lawsuit. Some may exaggerate situations that have resulted in injury, while others may invent a far-reaching harassment scenario to obtain payment. And without solid evidence, it can be difficult to prove them wrong in court.
Monitor Productivity
While most employees put in 110%, there may be a time when employers need to remind employees on their performance. When dealing with sensitive situations like termination for poor performance, this can be a legal minefield and the consequences of unfair dismissal are dire.
