There are three reasons for doing so:

  1. Crime Prevention. The visible presence of cameras outside and inside is often enough to stop a crime before it happens.
  2. Documentation. When a crime does occur, a quality video surveillance system will be able to provide pictures of the criminal, possibly in the act.
  3. Remote Access. Electronic Systems Consultants LLC (ESC) can connect your video surveillance system to your smart phone or laptop so when you’re out and about you can look in on things.

Crime prevention is perhaps one of the most important aspects associated with CCTV implementation because it seeks to stop crimes from happening in the first place. For example, the very sight of a camera staring you in the face when you walk into a retail store tells the would-be criminal that chances are that he’ll be caught doing his ill deed. The idea is that he’ll then go elsewhere, where he knows there are no cameras.

Public cameras help fight crime by documenting who comes and goes on the streets of a town. In this manner, if a crime does occur, law enforcement can pull the video up to see where a specific vehicle-assumed to be driven by the perpetrator-has gone.

Documentation is also an important part of security because it assures us that when something bad does happen. law enforcement will have a full accounting of it on film, so to speak. Of course, today’s video surveillance systems do not use photo-sensitive film to record images on. Instead, analog images are converted into digital data and then they are stored either within a solid-state memory device or on a hard drive in a digital video recorder, for example.

Remote access to your video surveillance system allows you to see cameras in action in real time as well as review recorded video clips. Best of all, this capability allows you to see them from anywhere in the world. In years past this feat was performed over a standard telephone connection using a modem of some kind. Today’s DVRs do this through the Internet.
