Security Systems Can Reduce Your Property Insurance
Some insurance companies will reduce your premiums once you have a security system set in place. Protecting your establishment may ensure your goods are protected and could result in lower premiums for your policy.
Can Prevent Internal And External Theft Or Robbery
Not only do security systems keep burglars at bay, but if an intruder can see that your establishment is well secured and you have cameras or alarms, they may be discouraged to target your business or store. This is true for employees and customers within your business as well.
Customers May Be Attracted To Your Establishment
People are comfortable when they are in secure premises. Having security and surveillance systems will make your customers and employees feel at ease when they are within your establishment.
CCTV Systems Provide Added Security To Your Premises
Having guards within your premises may reduce theft and suspicious activity in your business, however, on the ground security cannot monitor everything. It is important to have security cameras and monitors to keep track of people constantly flowing in and out of your premises. This is especially important for busy establishments like retail shops, warehouses, and factories.
A Great Way To Gather Information
CCTV may not prevent all theft and robbery attempts, but it is a great tool that can be utilized if someone successfully steals from you or threatens your workplace. Security cameras enable you to document activities and events that may happen within your establishment. Having helpful information about the people who enter your business can help identify the culprits and help the police find them faster.

IP CCTV SYSTEMS
An IP camera is the evolution from an analogue signal to a digital signal. IP cameras are based on the same networking technology used to connect computers (PCs) to a network switch. The term IP camera is an acronym for Internet Protocol. IP cameras are also commonly referred to as HD cameras, High-Definition cameras, and Megapixel Cameras. Megapixel means millions of pixels.

IP cameras achieve a higher resolution than analogue cameras. The more pixels in a picture allow for a sharper, clearer image.

HOW WILL IP CAMERAS BENEFIT YOU?
IP cameras are based on a digital IP system this allows for higher image resolutions and clearer images. The installer can also access the camera directly and set up the camera from a PC in the control room.

Most IP cameras can have an SD card slot where recording can take place on the camera, thus allowing for failover of recording should the server be compromised. IP cameras that have audio can also record audio over a single cable.

Installation time can be minimized due to IP Cameras only needing 1 cable for power, video streams, audio and any i/o switching.

The advent of High-Definition cameras over Analogue Cable (HDTVI/HDCVI) has allowed for the entry-level installation of HD cameras.

The limitation of analog technology is the highest resolution it can record is 2 Megapixels. All audio, power, and I/O have to be run on separate cables.
