SAFE CCTV: for security, stock protection - and much more

There are many reasons why companies and individuals install CCTV systems but the following are the most common reasons, and S.A.F.E. will try to provide the best advice with regards to your needs.

Prevention of Customer Theft or Shoplifting

New figures released by the Centre for Retail Research showed that the value of goods stolen from UK retailers had risen by 20% and is predicted to reach in excess of £5bn this year! 

A well planned, professionally installed CCTV system is one of the most cost effective ways of reducing / eliminating theft from your business. CCTV systems create a sense of doubt, leaving a potential thief to wonder if they are being watched / recorded.  This invariably results in them seeking a softer target. CCTV is an excellent deterrent, and in most cases the installation of such a system pays for itself within a short space of time.

Prevention of Employee Theft

According to the latest figures, 36.8% of “stock shrinkage” in UK businesses is down to staff. The report also estimates that theft by staff cost businesses in the UK £1.6bn in the last year. 

But what is employee theft?

Employee theft can be obvious things, like the taking of stock or selling goods “by the back door”. However, staff wasting company time by arriving late for work or staff not doing what they’re supposed to be doing can be equally detrimental to the fortunes of your business. 

Visual Remote Monitoring

All S.A.F.E CCVT systems allow remote monitoring. The latest technology enables you to monitor your business and staff whilst you’re out of the office. Providing you have an internet connection, you can access your CCTV system from anywhere in the world via your PC, laptop or smart phone. Your system can be also be set to send you “trigger event” messages, giving you a great deal of flexibility with your monitoring protocols.  

Protection of Staff

A professional CCTV system will help you to ensure the correct compliance of your business to appropriate health and safety legislation (use of Hi Viz equipment, hard hats, hygiene procedure etc). CCTV systems can be an effective tool in helping to train your staff.

In addition to this, CCTV can prove invaluable in protecting your staff from potentially unpleasant workplace scenarios that are prevalent in certain market sectors (such as assault, bullying, accusations of inappropriate behaviour etc).

There are obvious benefits to installing CCTV. It is an excellent deterrent, helping you gain control of situations that would otherwise occur, and in most cases the installation of such a system pays for itself within a short space of time, especially when it is installed by an experienced S.A.F.E Engineer.
