If you run a business that sells merchandise, or if you have cash on hand, you probably need a Closed Circuit Television system. The question you must answer is “How much do you want to spend on it?” There are a lot of choices out there, from eBay sellers like this, to corporate solutions like American Dynamics , Checkpoint, or Pelco

Remembering that you usually get what you pay for, it would pay any business owner to shop around, do their homework, and then make an informed decision about what solution best suits their needs.

Small brick and mortars my opt to use a single camera system, recorded to a time-lapse VCR or, even better, to a DVR system. Larger business sites may need multiple cameras, recording simultaneously through a multiplexer. It depends on the need.

There are some obvious reasons why cctv makes sense:

  1. Cameras are proven to deter theft.
  2. Cameras can provide you with evidence that could help you recover losses, if a theft does occur.
  3. Cameras provide evidence that can protect you against liabilities and lawsuits.

If you own/operate a small or even medium sized business, do you use cctv to protect your assets? If not, why not? Is it cost? If that’s the case, maybe you should look at some of the less expensive, yet still effective, solutions out there.
