Protect Your Business from Unforeseen Events
You want your business to be protected, but there are many situations you cannot foresee.
If your business is open to the public, you expect some amount of shoplifting and some employee theft or even vandalism.
Most businesses purchase security camera systems based on foreseen circumstances. But there are many situations owners do not anticipate, which can cause great stress and unexpected expense.
Security cameras help reduce this stress by providing strong evidence of the events that actually occurred.
Today, there are many people who take advantage of a situation and make money off of it. For example, a bar owner was slapped with a lawsuit when a customer claimed he was assaulted by a bouncer after his group was kicked out of the bar. Cameras provided clear evidence the bouncer did not assault the patron and that the patron was in fact fine as he walked away down the block.
The fake “slip and fall” is another scam that it is becoming increasingly more common.
In this link two women were caught faking a slip and fall and requesting compensation from the store.
Without security cameras, there would have been no proof these women were lying and the store owner would likely have had to provide them with some sort of compensation.
In another similar case a man in a local fast food restaurant was caught on the security CCTV system purposely spilling his beverage, walking through it, and then pretending to slip and fall. Again, without a camera DVR system, the restaurant owner would have not known it was a set-up.
Security camera systems can also provide evidence for workplace accidents.
It helps the business, the employees and in some extreme cases, the insurance companies assess more accurately what happened.
A workplace explosion was caught on CCTV and provides an impactful example to workers why safety training is so important. Because this is an actual incident, employees are more likely to follow the safety standards to avoid devastating consequences.
In cases like this forklift accident , the security camera footage can become a valuable tool to help train staff on what to do and how to avoid accidents.
Security cameras can be used as a tool that goes far beyond its intended purpose of monitoring for theft. By having a professionally designed and installed system in place you can protect your business from unforeseen circumstances by providing actual video evidence that will identify scams and the culprits in action, and hold up in court.
Protect your business. Protect your employees. Protect your profit!
