Many companies install a CCTV security system when they first start up in a new premises but fail to update the system regularly to take advantage of new innovations that may be available such as remote control or voice access controls. A CCTV system monitoring a business premises is an essential security feature along with an alarm system and high quality doors and locks but unless it is kept up to date it may be able to be breached.

Another factor concerns how good the footage is from the CCTV system cameras. Can it actually identify thieves and be used as evidence in court? Newer cameras are now more sophisticated and produce images of a higher resolution, so the footage is sharper and clearer even at night.

Security systems on a business premises must be of high quality because you may be trying to prevent possibly thousands of pounds worth of goods being stolen from the premises so buying a good quality CCTV system is vital. Getting the security system installed professionally is also important as a security specialist will be able to advise you on where to site cameras and which security features are going to be particularly useful for your company’s needs.
