Covert (spy) Cameras
Covert CCTV systems prove there worth
With the ever-increase in losses to business, caused by theft, damage and loss of production, many companies turn to overt CCTV systems as a solution. But is this really the answer to their problem?
The camera mounted on the wall, outside the office, shop or factory, is a deterrent to the would-be opportunist. However, it does not really give true value for money. In the majority of cases it is really a crime relocation device. Shoplifters quickly identify the areas covered by cameras and move to another area of the shop to commit their crime.
Unscrupulous employees can easily identify ways of committing theft without appearing on camera, as do the vandals of this world. However, a quality covert camera linked to a video recorder with time and date facility obtains that necessary evidence to effect successful prosecution.
With the technology available to fit a covert camera into almost anything, success rates are very high. Over 95% of covert systems fitted by us have justified the expenditure within four weeks.
Crime detection is just one area where covert cameras have proved useful.
Health and Safety in relation to the use of equipment is another area where cameras have proved their worth. Many end-users never reveal the fact that they are in use; they utilize the information gathered on them to improve security in work practice and stock control.
