| Benefits of
Security Cameras
Prevent Employee Theft
Many people are shocked to find out that the number one
reason for inventory shrinkage is employee theft.
Employees handle your money. Employees handle your
products. The temptation to take inventory is just too
great for many workers. According to the 2006 National
Retail Survey, 48% of your inventory shrinkage is due to
employee theft. That translates to $15 billion in losses
each year for U.S. companies.
An Employee Training Tool
Video systems can be used to monitor employee behavior,
not only for inventory loss issues, but for employee
training as well.
Prevent Harassment
Harassment in the workplace can take various forms and
not all of it is reported. Complaints about harassment
in the workplace are becoming more common. How do you
know who’s telling the truth? Video surveillance systems
can record both video and audio.
Can Reduce Insurance Premiums and Taxes
Video observation systems can reduce your insurance
premiums. Check with your insurance agent. Video
security systems can also protect insurance companies
against false claims. Businesses are now allowed to
deduct up to $100,000 in equipment purchases. This makes
security system purchases 100% tax deductible for many
companies.
Reduced
insurance premiums at one school district: “these type
of losses have nearly disappeared and the district’s
insurance premium has yielded a $700,000 savings.”**
Prevent Vandalism
Monitor the outside of your business to help prevent
vandalism of your employee’s and your personal property.
A properly placed security camera can deter many crimes.
Cost Effective
The cost of video surveillance has fallen in recent
years. In many cases, the cost of one observation system
will be far less than the cost of one employee theft.
Many home owners are now implementing security cameras
in their homes to watch children, the elderly, the
swimming pool and more.
Prevent False Workman Compensation Claims
Many companies have loss due to fraudulent workman
compensation claims. With security cameras you may be
able to reduce the amount of fraudulent claims and catch
real accidents on video.
