As a business owner, you should always make sure that your resources are well protected. There are many reasons to have video surveillance for your business. From accidents to robberies and employment theft, a video surveillance system will be your best friend when it comes to insurance and legal matters.

The following practices should be followed to make sure that neither you nor the video surveillance system will miss anything.

Consider Blind Spots

When you are thinking of installing a video surveillance system, it would only make sense to ensure that the cameras are being installed in locations where there aren’t any blind spots, where movements would go unnoticed and people would be unseen. Always consider that the perspective of the camera might be different from your own, and arrange cameras accordingly so no area goes uncaptured.

Consider Placement

While your cameras should be set up to surveil most areas of your business, you should pay special attention to entrances and exits, storage areas, break rooms, and places of monetary transactions. These are the areas where most workplace accidents and crimes usually occur. You should also avoid placing cameras in restrooms, changing rooms, and other areas that might infringe on privacy and potentially break laws.

Think Of Lighting

There is no value in having a functional security system if there isn’t enough light to see what the camera is capturing. Your security system should always be backlit to ensure visibility during all hours of the night. Your camera should be able to see at night or otherwise be provided outside light in order to catch movements 24/7.

Test Your Video Surveillance System Live

You don’t want to realize that your video surveillance system could have been set up better when it is already too late. Once your security system is set up, you should test the system live to make sure that it is functioning well, that it can capture every important area, and that no object or lack of lighting is preventing your security system from capturing certain areas.
