Industrial crime in the UK is remarkably high. That’s why it’s important to protect your site in any way possible. Finding the right industrial CCTV solution for your business is essential, but which systems are best and what are the benefits of high-level security?
Benefits of Industrial Security Systems
There are multiple benefits to investing in a CCTV system for your industrial site. If you’re still on the fence about whether to get a system installed, it’s time to get more decisive. The best industrial security camera available can:
- Protect your site and expensive assets from crime, potentially saving you hundreds if not thousands of pounds.
- Act as a deterrent, stopping potential thieves from targeting your property.
- Provide video evidence to the police should a robbery take place.
- Ensure staff remain safe in the workplace.
- Monitor the movement of visitors while they are on your site.
- Reduce vehicle-related crime such as vandalism in car parks.
At the most basic level, a CCTV system can provide business owners with added peace of mind whether they are on or off the premises. Running a company is stressful enough without having added security concerns, and a reliable system will support other measures to ensure comprehensive cover at all times.
What Type of CCTV Should I Invest In?
Many CCTV cameras have been specifically designed for industrial use. These include:
IP CCTV Cameras
IP CCTV Cameras convert video signal into IP packets which can be transmitted over the internet to a network storage device such as a server. They also tend to have much higher resolution than regular CCTV, making them a popular choice for industrial security.
Thermal Cameras
Thermal cameras turn heat energy from objects into an image. This image is based on the silhouette of a heat source making it easy to differentiate between vehicles and humans. Areas of heat can be seen through darkness, smoke and other heat-permeable barriers.
Ultra-HD CCTV
Ultra-HD CCTV provides high-resolution images which can be effectively used to prosecute criminals. 4k security CCTV, for example, offers more pixels for a higher quality image. Many HD CCTV systems can be linked to a mobile device for real-time alerts.
Perimeter CCTV
Catch criminals before they even enter your industrial site with perimeter CCTV. This can be used to monitor activity around a site’s perimeter and all footage can be viewed internally by an onsite security team, or offsite via the use of CCTV monitoring.
