Proper Positioning of Video Surveillance Cameras
There are different reasons for businesses to decide it’s time to install video surveillance cameras in their buildings or outside on the property. One big reason is to reduce and prevent theft, and some want to monitor employee behaviors. Some businesses have been able to improve productivity by installing video surveillance cameras, especially factories. In the retail sector, video surveillance cameras have resolved many disputes that arise between employees and the public. Whatever the reason is for your need in putting video surveillance in your business, the first decision is where to position them.

This scenario refers even to the stores that are located in what are deemed ‘good’ neighborhoods. If you want to deter the criminals from targeting your business, you need a video […]
