SMART SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEM
Best Locations to Install Security Cameras for Better Commercial Security
1. Parking Lots
Anyone who visits your premises is likely to enter through the parking lot. So, using a commercial or corporate security surveillance system in open areas such as parking lots is a smarter choice. Make sure to adjust the field of view as it helps to maximize the area you are monitoring. Also, these security cameras can be used to zoom in to the point that license plate recognition is possible if there ever were an instance that it was needed.
2. Employee Lounges
The employee lounge or break rooms are often the first and last places the employees visit in their shifts. Also, these locations are quite common for workplace disagreements or harassment. This makes it essential to consider installing surveillance cameras in such locations as it provides evidence should you need it, while not upsetting employees.
3. Reception Desks
As one of the highest traffic areas of individual workplaces, installing the commercial or residential security systems in your reception helps ensure better surveillance security and footage of virtually anyone visiting your business. You may want to cover the security cameras with an additional shield to make sure the cameras are not visible to visitors or customers. Also for added protection, if at any time there is a robbery that takes place in your business is will help ensure they can’t see the security cameras you have. Covering these security cameras or merely getting the ones that are designed smaller will help if any situation may occur.
4. Dumpsters
Another excellent place for the placement of commercial or corporate security cameras is the dumpster area, which is usually secluded and away from the main building. Installing cameras in these areas is also essential, as dumpster areas are often overlooked when designing a surveillance system. When these areas are neglected, it also makes the area more vulnerable for employees to steal from their workplace and to become victims of possible robberies. Using the security cameras in these areas with effective audio recording can provide additional evidence when no one is around to witness any criminal acts or misconduct.
5. Office Supply Room
This area is one of the most critical places for business owners. Though items in this area may seem small and insignificant eventually, they begin to add up, even the most minor things like pens or paper can add up when you look at annual losses. Using 360 degree overhead cameras in such locations is a great option to monitor the stored items, and to make sure the security of expensive equipment stays in the office.
