Video Surveillance Buyer's Guide
Updated: August 2008
From a single camera and monitor to complex video surveillance systems with hundreds of cameras, multiple operators, and digital recorders, closed circuit television (CCTV) systems can provide security for a wide range of businesses.
A good video surveillance system can make your business safer, more efficient, and less prone to theft and accidents. Specifically, video surveillance can provide many benefits:
- reduce shrinkage by catching shoplifters
- deter potential thieves
- monitor cash registers
- record evidence to prevent bogus accident claims
- identify visitors and employees
- monitor hazardous work areas
- increase security in and around business premises and parking lots
- meet insurance requirements
The most basic CCTV setup would be a single camera connected directly to a monitor and a recorder to store the video. While a setup like this could help security in some cases, it is unlikely to be enough for most businesses. Most situations call for multiple cameras. In some cases, you may even want a moveable camera to cover a large area. This BuyerZone Video Surveillance Buyer’s Guide will help you understand what goes into a video security system, how to compare CCTV vendors, and how to make a successful purchase.
