How to Choose A Retail Security CCTV Camera System in 5 Steps
Theft is one of the biggest threats for retailers. Thieves can target your products, takings or even your customers. In any case, it has a negative impact for your business. The solution? A comprehensive retail security system.
There are a number of things to consider when choosing the security system that’s right for your site. Fortunately, we’re here to help. Read on as we look at 5 key steps to take when choosing a retail security system.
Read on as we discuss the ins and outs of alarm system batteries.
1. Picture quality
Rather than big break-ins, the biggest problem for most retailers is shoplifting. As a retailer, you can’t lock the door and choose who enters. So, there’s always a small chance somebody will enter your store with bad intentions. The best way to protect yourself against this is with cameras – but they need to be the right quality.
High-definition should be the first check box in your security system search. With a resolution of 720p or 1080p, you will have a better chance of catching people in the act or identifying culprits after they have stolen something.
2. Appearance
As well as the picture quality, you have a choice between different body styles of interior security cameras. If you’re looking to keep cameras discreet and covert, dome cameras are a good option. Their sleek appearance blends in with surroundings and can be customised with a tinted dome to hide the direction of your cameras.
Alternatively, you can choose bullet cameras, which are easier to spot. These are a better option if you want people to notice your cameras, to deter them from theft.
3. Outdoor Risk
Indoor shops situated within shopping malls are mainly concerned with indoor surveillance. However, for standalone shops or those within outdoor precincts, it’s good to choose a security system with outdoor surveillance. If this is the case, it’s also worth taking measures to protect that outdoor camera system.
4. Night time
For many retailers, the main threat is shoplifting. However, others may be at risk of intruders breaking in and stealing lots of their products at once. If your store is at risk of breaking and entering, intruder alarms are a must.
They can alert people around your site, yourself or even the authorities if you choose the right system. On top of that, the presence of an intruder alarm will act as a deterrent for potential intruders.
