CCTV systems are one of the most effective ways of protecting both domestic and commercial spaces. Extensive research has shown that CCTV helps to deter criminals from targeting a property while high quality CCTV can go a long way to helping the authorities catch an offender if a home or office is broken into.
Although in general Norwich is a very safe place, the Eastern Daily Press did report a 12% increase in the number of burglaries that took place in the area between 2015 and 2016. If you don’t want your home or workplace to be targeted, it’s essential you act now to keep it safe and secure.
Why is CCTV such an effective security measure?
One of the main benefits of CCTV over other types of security is that it deters burglars from targeting a property in the first place. As soon as would-be thieves see the blinking lights of the cameras, they’re likely to change their minds about attempting a break in.
Burglars know that, even if they keep their faces covered, there’s a much higher risk of being caught out on CCTV. This will help to prevent your property from suffering damage and will help to keep your home and workplace out of harm’s way.
However, if you own a Norwich property it’s essential that your CCTV system covers all of the vulnerable parts of your property. If there’s a door or window that isn’t covered by a camera, burglars could use it to access your home or office.
Designing a CCTV system
Working out exactly how to design a CCTV system to make it as comprehensive as possible isn’t easy. You need to ensure that all possible exits and entrances are covered by the system and that there’s enough light for the images captured to be useful. The best way to ensure your CCTV system is worthwhile as both a deterrent and an aid for catching thieves is to have it designed by an expert company.
A business with experience in designing and installing CCTV systems will know exactly where to place each camera for maximum coverage. They’ll also know which accessories you may need to invest in in order to make your system as comprehensive as possible.
Types of CCTV system
There are a number of different types of CCTV systems available. From basic cameras that cover one entrance and exit to integrated systems that are monitored 24 hours a day, CCTV comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The best way to work out which type of system is right for you is to talk to your specialist provider. They’ll be able to use their years of experience to guide you through the process, ensuring you choose the product that suits you perfectly.
