One of the primary advantages of commercial CCTV systems is their deterrent effect on criminal activity. The presence of visible cameras acts as a powerful deterrent, dissuading potential thieves, vandals, or trespassers from targeting the business premises. Knowing that their actions are being recorded significantly reduces the likelihood of criminal incidents.
By strategically placing CCTV cameras in high-risk areas such as entry points, parking lots, or storage areas, they create a perception of constant surveillance. This proactive approach can help safeguard the business from external threats and minimise the risk of theft, vandalism, or unauthorised access.
