Top Seven Reasons to Use a Security Camera at Your Business

1. Employee Theft Prevention--Employees are the number one reason why your assets are disappearing. Cash and product inventory are just too much of a temptation for almost anyone especially if it is not protected somehow. A recent study showed that as much as 40-45% of your losses are due to employee theft.
   

2. Shoplifting Prevention--Next on the list is shoplifting by your customers. It accounts for nearly 30% of all your losses. You cannot hire babysitters for all your customers so a security camera makes more sense. A security camera enables you to watch both employees and customers-a twofer.Insurance and Taxes--Most insurance companies love security cameras and will give you a discount on your premiums. Costs are tax deductible. Security cameras can act as a loss prevention tool and provide valuable irrefutable evidence in an injury or other damage claim.

4. Product Cost Control--Part of any pricing strategy is to calculate the amount of losses due to theft and shoplifting into the price. If you can reduce or eliminate that expense you place yourself in a very competitive position to either maximize profits or reduce selling prices to gain market share.

5. Store Traffic Patterns-The backbone of store sales is product placement. Where do customers go and how do they get there. This is how to learn where to put your how items and your not so hot ones.

6. Vandalism Prevention-A well placed surveillance or security camera will send a message to the bad guys "don't mess with us." A camera may prevent vandals from destroying your property or catch them red handed if they do.

7. Employee Training-The use of cameras in employee training for development and improvement is really catching on. For example, in scripted situations where body language may conflict with verbal communications those conflicts can be easily detected.

There are many more good reasons to use a security camera at your business. Cost is no longer an objection because they are cheaper than ever and easier than ever to install and use. Technical assistance is usually available.
