shutterstock_295652027Home and business security will always be a priority. As such, home and business owners will continue to seek out enterprise-level security solutions to protect the property, products, and people they want to keep safe.

 

Increasingly, closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the first and most comforting security solution consumers are using to improve security. CCTV systems are easy to install and are relatively affordable, making them the go-to security enhancement for properties big and small.

According to Statista, almost 38% of homes in South Australia and 27% of homes in West Australia use security cameras to protect against burglary. Whether it’s an over-the-counter doorbell camera or a professionally installed, multi-camera system, CCTV is an investment more and more Australians are making.   

Not convinced? Here are five reasons why you need CCTV right now.

1. CCTV Improves Security

The National Council for Home Safety and Security reports that homes without a security system are 300% more likely to be burglarized. Don’t be a statistic.

CCTV systems instantly improve security. A common CCTV system is comprised of recording device, a monitor, and a camera or two. Even without a recording device, a reliable CCTV system gives the user an easy way to view multiple or hard-to-surveil locations.

Being able to remotely monitor various locations, whether in a home or at a business, makes it easier to address security concerns quickly and efficiently.

Bonus: Often, simply having CCTV cameras is a burglary deterrent. Potential burglars are more likely to avoid locations with easy-to-see CCTV cameras on the premises.

2. CCTV Increases Liability Confidence

Having the ability to record and revisit security or liability issues is one of the main reasons why home and business owners buy and install CCTV systems. It’s not hard to support your side of a legal argument, employee termination, or property incident when you have video evidence readily available.

CCTV systems increase liability confidence in the sense that with one in place you can rest easy knowing everything is being recorded and can be recalled if necessary.

3. CCTV is Affordable and Reliable

Long gone are the days of analog security systems that rely on video tapes and blurry cameras. No longer do you have to tape over yesterday’s footage to make room for tomorrow’s. Today, CCTV systems are digital, reliable, and more affordable than ever.

Home and business owners today are more concerned with how to choose the best CCTV cameras than they are finding the right videotape or DVD size for data storage, and that’s a good thing.

CCTV systems are an affordable and reliable way to improve security and increase liability confidence.

4. CCTV Systems Are Scalable

Being affordable and reliable, modern-day CCTV systems are often designed with adaptability in mind.

As a homeowner, you may start with a system that has a few cameras and no monitors, choosing to review footage through a remote dashboard on your phone or tablet. As a business, it may be a smart financial decision to focus your CCTV system on a few well-placed cameras that feed into a central monitor/data storage location.

Over time, as you acquire more home assets or grow your business, having the ability to add more cameras and expand your CCTV system is invaluable. Fortunately, many modern systems make doing just that easy and hassle-free.

5. CCTV Systems Complement Other Security Solutions

Affordable, scalable, and reliable are all great qualities to have in a CCTV system, but the perfect system isn’t perfect if it doesn’t play well with others.

Security savvy consumers want CCTV systems that can be integrated into an existing security or smart home setup. Experienced CCTV providers know this, which is why modern systems are designed to work seamlessly with your existing security solutions.

CCTV is Right For Your Home or Business

It makes sense that homeowners and businessowners would invest time and money into CCTV systems that improve security and peace of mind.

The global video surveillance market is expected to reach $63 billion by the year 2023. This is due in large part to the continued focus on home, business, and national security through CCTV surveillance.
