CCTV ACCESS

Advances in CCTV technology are turning the video surveillance into one of the most valuable loss prevention, safety/security and management tools available today. Retailers use CCTV to monitor for shoplifters and dishonest employees, compile recorded evidence against bogus accident claims and monitor merchandising displays in stores that may be hundreds of miles away. Manufacturers, governments, hospitals and universities use CCTV to identify visitors and employees, monitor hazardous work areas, thwart theft and ensure the security of their premises and parking facilities..

Security Applications

• Observe and record theft or violence by overtly monitoring retail floor space, office buildings, building perimeters, warehouses, loading docks and parking garages
• Monitor sensitive areas where infrequent activities occur (i.e. confidential records, safes, etc...)
• Monitor point-of-sale exceptions (cash register voids, over-rings, etc...) reducing cashier theft
• Observe and record shoplifting activities.
• "Walk a beat" by programming a moving camera to pan, tilt, and zoom within a defined pattern.
• Perform covert surveillance (where legally applicable)
• Integrate with access control systems to provide video of persons entering and leaving the premises Complement asset tracking systems to provide video when a tagged asset leaves the premises.

Safety Applications

• Allow operators to see into areas where the environment is hazardous to life or health Monitor potential accident areas.
• Monitor residence halls, common areas, or high-risk areas to ensure safety of an educational institution's students and faculty.

Management Tools

• Train employees, check stock on store shelves and monitor retail sales floor coverage, production lines, etc.
• Demonstrate management's due diligence towards protecting employees, clients, and visitors, and perhaps avert or minimize litigation and negative publicity
• Document video images on magnetic tape or optical hard drives to record events. This information may be reviewed and later presented as evidence for prosecution of criminals, or as a training tool.
