If you want to ensure that your business runs smoothly and successfully, you don’t just need to bring customers through your door and make sales, you also need to protect what you have earned. You’ll find that many business owners overlook a good security system, but having CCTV and other security features can be invaluable.
Throughout this article by S & J Electrical, we’ll tell you about the benefits of a good security system and CCTV — it can actually do much more for you than just improving your security.
Improved Security
Let’s get the most common benefit out of the way first, the main selling point of any security system is to improve your security. For the year of 2012, retail crime in the UK cost businesses approximately £4.7 billion, which is an increase of 6.8% compared to the year before. [1] Apart from cyber fraud—which accounted for £280 million—all of these crimes could have been prevented, or at least diminished, with the help of a good security system. This can not only act as a deterrent to thieves, but it can also help thieves get caught when they do commit a crime and this would ultimately prevent damage being done to another business.
A Sign of Professionalism
As well as improving your security, having CCTV cameras located around the walls of your business can be an excellent way to demonstrate your professionalism. These cameras will show your staff and your customers that you take their well-being into serious consideration. In addition to your staff and customers thinking highly of your business when they see security cameras, they’re also going to feel much more safe and secure, we’ll talk about this more in the next section.
A Safer Environment
A good security system can provide your employees with a much safer working environment; security footage captured over time can be invaluable when it comes to staff training i.e. teaching staff how to react in a dangerous situation. In addition to this, it can also help you adhere to health and safety policies.
By installing a security system you’re not only going to be benefit your employees, but also your customers. How do you think your customers would feel if they were in your store and a robbery took place? Do you think they would feel safe to come back? If you had a good security system in place, they might take solace in the fact that the situation has been handled accordingly.
