Introduction to CCTV and Security Patrols
CCTV is an acronym for Closed-Circuit Television, and refers to video surveillance. A CCTV system involves broadcasts that are transmitted to a closed number of monitors. With CCTV solutions, you can monitor business activities remotely, allowing you to detect and deter criminal activities.
Meanwhile, security patrols can come under security guard services, which involves groups (or an individual) of trained and experienced security personnel who patrol certain areas to deter crime and ensure security.
Benefits of Combining CCTV and Patrols
Both security patrols and CCTV solutions have their own set of benefits for businesses, but combining them as one service (which is possible with All Time Security) can improve overall security and safety.
In fact, here are some of the benefits that you can expect by combining both security patrols and CCTV remote monitoring:
- Deterring crime – Visible CCTV cameras and security guards patrolling the area can be effective in deterring criminals and intruders. Potential offenders are less likely to commit vandalism, theft, or other criminal acts within your business if they are aware of security cameras and guards.
- Evidence collection – Should an incident occur within your business, having CCTV cameras and security patrols guarantees that you have key evidence and witnesses to the crime/event.
- Fast and immediate action – By monitoring CCTV feeds remotely, while also having security personnel on the premises, any suspicious activity can be addressed swiftly and efficiently, as those watching the feeds can instantly report potential threats to the security guards on patrol.
- Increased safety – Being able to monitor for any potential threats and/or hazards can significantly improve the safety and wellbeing of both customers and employees, facilitating a secure and safe environment for all.
- Loss prevention – As your business can be monitored 24/7, as previously stated, this is likely to deter criminals. In turn, this can prevent the loss of expensive and important items or assets.
Latest Innovations in CCTV Technology
CCTV solutions continue to evolve, which only means that your business’s security is further ensured. Recent advancements in CCTV technology include better footage quality and smart features, making evidence collection and intruder detection easier.
For example, you can now find many CCTV cameras designed with artificial intelligence (AI) and other smart features (motion tracking) which can provide clear and detailed footage, guaranteeing that crucial moments (and faces) are captured.
Effective Security Patrol Strategies
When it comes to effective security patrols within a business, here are examples of practical strategies that can be implemented:
- Fixed posts – This type of security patrol simply involves assigning a security guard to a specific post. They will be stationed at this location, and monitor the area from their post, serving as a visible crime deterrent.
- Random patrols – Security patrols that are random consist of an individual or groups of security personnel following random and unpredictable routes throughout the business premises. This can make it impossible for potential intruders to predict the security patrol pattern.
- Routine patrols – Security guards will follow a predetermined route or schedule, designed to allow them to patrol specific areas at specific times. These schedules should be adjusted from time to time.
