Your house or small business represents a major financial investment on your part. Surveillance cameras help protect that investment. In addition, they allow you to manage your home or business better. Find out how.

Protect Against Crime

• Positioned in a prominent spot (yet high enough to prevent tampering – 12 feet above ground level is recommended), the presence of the camera itself deters spur-of-the-moment impulsive criminal acts, such as package theft or burglary.

• A carefully placed surveillance camera will also tend to reduce malicious mischief and senseless destruction of your property -- for instance, graffiti orsimilar types of vandalism.

• In your store, one or more surveillance cameras in strategic locations may catch would-be shoplifters as they leave the premises with unpaid merchandise.

• Surveillance camera recordings help you to provide accurate physical descriptions of criminals and even license plate numbers to the authorities.
