We have all witnessed the rapid changes in video technology and how it shapes our lives, in the last decade alone we have seen HD footage become industry standard, as well as tablet and smartphone devices making video a part of our everyday lives. Video has never been more important. With this in mind then maybe it is time to give some thought as to how video can benefit you in protecting your property.
There is a growing argument that video technology is far more cost-effective than having more Police on the beat or manned security staff on site. With advances in technology making the equipment more accessible and it is fair to say you could potentially save money on man-hours.
We also appreciate that it can be difficult for some businesses to have someone on site 24/7, the main reasons here, aside from cost, can be location. If your asset is within a remote area it can be difficult to source out of hours security workers.

A viable business solution could be using video technology to protect your property with a 24/7 monitoring station remotely monitoring activity. Video surveillance will enables you to have eyes on your asset at all times when manned security simply isn’t an option, regardless of your location.
So how will video stop crimes from happening?
A video verification alarm gives you the presence you need when you’re not there. The biggest argument in using video surveillance technology is the deterrent effect it has on criminals, after all, would you be more or less likely to commit an act of wrongdoing knowing that there’s a good chance of recorded camera footage being used against you?Studies have shown that people who know that they are under any kind of surveillance will display pro-social behaviour. Simply put, it can help to prevent crime and damages.
Using video in fact goes much beyond putting off criminals and cost cutting. It can be just as, if not more effective as having a guard on site and lead to quicker response and arrest rates, ultimately protecting your property from repeat attempts.
Aside from this, video can be incredibly versatile and geared towards any niche requirements, going way beyond the standard requirements of protecting a vacant property. If you need an asset protected, there is always a way to have a camera in place to do so.
As video technology continues to advance, it will continue to improve its use to everyone as a highly effective method of security. One thing’s for sure, we will be watching closely to see what comes next.
