If it has a resale value then thieves will try to steal it. Not just the obvious things like computers, cars and electricals. Take a building site for example. Not a target? Wrong. Even here there are valuable items like power tools being used that could attract opportunist thieves looking for a quick pay day. Security measures have to be put in place to protect the site and keep them out.
Things like fencing will work up to a point, but increasingly companies are finding that security cameras are the answer. Thieves like an easy target. If a site is heavily protected, patrolled and surveyed by cameras then they will move on.
CCTV systems act as a deterrent. The cameras are highly visible and off putting to anyone thinking about breaking in. Should an incident occur then the tapes can reveal vital clues and details for police follow up, like car registration details and close up shots of the suspects for example.
Times are tough economically right now and one of the unfortunate consequences of this is an increase in crime. Police numbers are being cut and this could add up to an unfortunate mix. Security measures need to be reviewed and stepped up. Security cameras have a big part to play in this process.
CCTV systems are surprisingly affordable. And the investment pays itself back in the form of reduced crime rates and fewer break ins. They are increasingly becoming a must have rather than a nice to have.
Digital Direct Security can help any organisation better protect their sites with camera systems. They discuss customer needs first before recommending a solution that is right for that particular site and organisation. CCTV can have a dramatic impact on site security. Perhaps it’s time to invest in a system.
