Commercial video surveillance systems give you the ability to effectively be two places at once. They provide peace of mind and give you the ability to monitor everything that is happening in and around your property from virtually anywhere with a smartphone.

The numbers don’t lie

It is estimated that there are millions of commercial security systems installed in businesses from coast to coast. Of these, only about 20% have a commercial video surveillance system connected with their security systems. Each year, over 2 million burglaries and break-ins occur throughout the country costing business owners billions of dollars in lost property.

Of these crimes, only 13.6% end up with an arrest. In polls with criminals who have been caught for their crimes, up to 60% indicate that they avoid businesses with security cameras because it increases the likelihood that they will be caught. Indeed, studies have shown that commercial video surveillance systems are highly effective at deterring crime and causing criminals to pause before they commit either violent or property crimes.

Wired versus wireless commercial video surveillance systems

The security cameras associated with your commercial video surveillance system can be wired or wireless. While wired systems delivered a high resolution picture, they are harder to install and once installed they are permanently fixed in place. Conversely, wireless security cameras can be moved about as your monitoring needs evolve and change. This gives plenty of monitoring flexibility. Today’s technology allows for high resolution images with wireless commercial video surveillance systems that are comparable to that of wired systems.

Things your security cameras cannot do on their own

Security cameras cannot physically stop a crime and they don’t dial 911 when something happens. While motion sensors attached to the camera can notify you when something is moving about, it is still up to you to review the video feed and make a determination as to whether or not police, fire, ambulance need to be contacted. Commercial video surveillance system monitoring can take a lot of this stress off of you and help give you peace of mind.
