Why You Need Retail CCTV Monitoring for Your Store

Article Image

As a store owner, protecting your livelihood is one of your top priorities. You need to ensure that your store, stock, and staff are safe at all times. This requires security systems paired with reliable security services. Of these, retail CCTV monitoring is one of the most effective. Retail CCTV monitoring involves live monitoring of your store's CCTV cameras by trained security professionals. Read on to learn why your store needs retail CCTV monitoring.

Theft deterrence

Deterrence is perhaps the most effective way to prevent theft. Before stealing, shoplifters weigh the risks against the potential gains. With retail CCTV monitoring, shoplifters know they're being watched at all times. This greatly increases the risk of getting caught, which is enough to dissuade most people. If you want to prevent theft in your store, the deterrence provided by retail CCTV monitoring is a valuable tool.

Monitoring customers

Retail CCTV monitoring also keeps track of customers in your store. This allows you to take action to stop shoplifters and remove them before they can do any damage. Other than retail CCTV monitoring, the only ways to achieve this would be to monitor the CCTV yourself or have your employees keep an eye on customers. Unfortunately, both of these options have significant drawbacks. Monitoring CCTV feeds yourself takes time away from other, more important tasks and will inevitably leave the feeds unmonitored at times. As for having your employees watch customers, this won't always be possible, especially in big stores. The best way to ensure that shoplifting doesn't go unnoticed is to use retail CCTV monitoring.

After-hours security

Another reason that your store needs retail CCTV monitoring is that it provides security after hours. There is a limit to the protection other security systems and services can provide when you aren't there. Other retail security systems, such as alarms, are great for alerting you of break-ins, however, they don't provide details on the situation. With retail CCTV monitoring, the team monitoring your store can provide you with all the necessary details to effectively deal with a break-in. Many security companies even offer planned security responses, ensuring an immediate response. With retail CCTV monitoring, you can trust that your store is protected 24/7.

Loss mitigation

The final reason that your store needs retail CCTV monitoring is loss mitigation. No security system, no matter how good, is flawless. Because of this, it's important to have contingencies in place to mitigate losses. With retail CCTV monitoring, you have a detailed record of any damages you receive. This gives you more options for recovering from these damages. Of these options, the two biggest ones would be claiming insurance and banning offenders. Claiming insurance lets you recover some of the money you lost. With the evidence provided by retail CCTV monitoring, you have a much better chance of making a successful claim. On the other hand, banning offenders prevents them from stealing from you again. As long as you have an image of their face, your employees can prevent them from entering the store in the future. With these two things, retail CCTV monitoring helps you recover from damages and reduces the chance of future damages.

Security Camera Systems
I was introduced to Isaac when I was renovating my house. He installed all the audio-visual, security and camera systems. It has been useful in detecting crime (really) and I love my home cinema with 4K HDR vision. I recommended them to friends who have also enjoyed their service.

Recommended Security Company
We recently moved into a house that had an old/broken home alarm. Melbourne Security helped us to replace the old system with a brand new home alarm and for a really good price. The service and communication was great, and the work undertaken was top quality.

Security Cameras Installaiton
I wish I had known about Isaac before I installed my first security cameras. He installed additional security cameras for me and data points and all cables were concealed within the cavities of my solid, double brick home. The earlier company I engaged said it couldn't be done - Isaac did!

Security System Upgrade
Isaac was recommended to upgrade the security system. He was very helpful and even helped with other little tasks around the house. Later our neighbour's car was stolen and then i upgraded our system to a monitored one. Janine's response was very quick. All done in no time. Lovely people.

Hired Professionals
Isaac kept us involved continually while making every effort to hide all cables so as not to disturb our newly painted external walls. Any conduits were hidden. He chose appropriate equipment and gave us his opinion as to what was necessary and what was not even at his own personal cost.
