No matter what business you’re in, a high-quality surveillance system can be the key to protecting your facility, customers, and employees. If you own a store, having cameras can cut down on losses due to shoplifting and employee theft, and offices may need equipment that limits access to sensitive information. If you’re thinking of installing a new surveillance system or upgrading a current setup, there are a few important pieces of advice to keep in mind.

Digital Offers Higher Resolution

Traditional analog security cameras are capable of about half a megapixel resolution, which makes it almost impossible to see identifying features like tattoos and scars. If the perpetrators are far away from the cameras, then you might not even be able to see what they are doing. New digital cameras, on the other hand, catch every detail and give you a full view of the area with remarkable clarity.

Today’s Systems Let You Monitor Remotely

Old-fashioned CCTV surveillance systems usually record to a single location, meaning you won’t get to view the tape until you get there. New IP security systems use cloud technology that allows you to view recordings from any location and on any device. The video playback tools also have features that make it easy to find the footage you’re looking for.

High-Quality Surveillance Is Affordable

A skilled security contractor can design solutions designed to fit your business and budget, so you won’t pay features and equipment you don’t need. If you already have analog equipment, they can even create a hybrid surveillance system that includes new technology and lets you upgrade over time, making the tools more affordable.
