Business Camera Systems Can Improve Robbery Prevention

By Mark Mahaffey


Even though nobody wants it to happen to them, the hard reality is that employees sometimes steal from their employers. And it is not an infrequent occurrence! Billions of dollars are lost each year because of employee theft. What makes it even worse is that this happens by people whom you trust - after all, you hired them!

One of the first steps you should take is to mount security signs or stickers at all the windows and doors of your business. This is to let potential thieves know that you are protected by a security system. Lots of robbers would rather not break into a business that has a security system, so these signs may keep you safe.

Security lighting is also important. Often security lighting can refer to the lighting that is installed outside a business. But putting security lights inside is important too, and here's why: if someone breaks into your building at night, you want it to be very bright in side you store. This will ensure that people outside notice the robber and can maybe call for help.

Another smart thing to do is to keep an eye on your employees and their personalities. If one of them lies a lot, that could spell trouble. Also, if one of them or abuses drugs or alcohol, you may need to watch him more closely.

Another thing to keep an eye out for is if someone habitually breaks the rules and policies that you have set up. One way that you can know about this is by using plenty of business security cameras. These cameras can keep watch over your employees at all times, and will let you know what they are up to.

Pressure mats are another great idea. Burglars know that money is often inside cash registers, and so naturally they will try to break into them. You can put pressure mats around that area, though, so that you will be alerted if someone approaches the cash registers.
