Keeping your eyes on all aspects of your business is the best way to keep things ticking over smoothly.

It's undeniable that installing CCTV cameras in any space instantly improves security and reduces the likelihood of illegal activities and vandalism. This, understandably, makes CCTV systems an appealing option for workspaces and offices, where business owners and managers need to keep their property safe. Besides the obvious security benefits, office CCTV systems also allow employers to monitor the productivity of staff.

External Office CCTV Systems

Installing CCTV cameras around the perimeter of your office is a sure-fire way to protect your property. The camera itself will act as a deterrent to anyone who is considering trespassing on your property, vandalising it, or committing any other illegal activities. There are few people who would be brave enough to commit a crime in full view of watchful eyes! 

Besides preventing criminal activities, external office security systems can be used to observe the people using the office car park, as well as clients and other members of the public entering and leaving the premises. This keeps your visitors and your employees safe at work. 

Internal Office CCTV Systems

If you are a business owner who is often away from the office, installing CCTV cameras for the office is a great way to keep your eye on what goes on behind closed doors! You can observe how well your employees are managing their time, whether they are working efficiently, and you can keep a record of office behaviour in case any office disputes occur.

Of course, if you want to install CCTV cameras in the office, you will need to notify your employees that they will be recorded. You can read more about data protection and using CCTV inside your business premises here

how does CCTV work

A CCTV system, or closed-circuit television system, can be used for a variety of purposes and in a variety of places. Typically, CCTV cameras are installed in places where there is a higher than usual security risk, allowing an operator to keep a physical record of all of the events that take place there. In this blog, we'll take a look at how CCTV systems work, along with some of the different types available and the most common uses.

CCTV Analytics Systems

Surveillance technology is becoming smarter and smarter and as CCTV cameral technology matures so does CCTV analytics. CCTV analytics systems allow us to retrieve a superior amount of data than we have previously had access to. Here at IDS, we have top-of-the-range CCTV analytic systems that can help you to protect your property. To view all of our CCTV services you can click here

Rather than having to sit through hours of footage, CCTV analytics can let us know where we need to look and what this footage can tell us. Event-driven analytics relieves the burden that operators have previously had to deal with. Now CCTV analytics can tell us when something has happened on camera, for instance when there has been movement that may signal an intruder. 

With scalable systems, we can now efficiently monitor larger areas with far more ease. This not only gives us more effective data that is easier to gather but it also requires a lot less manpower which will save you money on your security system. By integrating automatic analysis, detection and alerts CCTV analytics systems give us the added security that we won't miss a thing. CCTV software can now initiate recording, alarms and a range of other actions automatically, making them far more intelligent than ever before. 

This CCTV software is intelligent enough to detect a wide range of information. Our CCTV analytics systems can detect: 

  • Intruder detection
  • People counting
  • Queue analysis
  • Gender recognition
  • Kinetic mapping of in-store traffic
  • Dwell analysis 
  • Heat mapping
  • Forensic analysis

Warehouse Interior
 
If you store your company's products in a warehouse - no matter how big or how small that warehouse is - it's a good idea to make sure it's as secure as possible. That means keeping it locked overnight and making it difficult for trespassers to gain entry in the first place, but it's also a good idea to install a security camera system to ensure that any break-ins / thefts are caught on film.
 
Here at IDS Security Systems Ltd, we supply, install and service a range of CCTV systems that are ideal for a warehouse environment. Safeguarding your warehouse with a series of security cameras will deter potential intruders, as well as making it easier for the authorities to investigate any robberies that do occur.
