Know Your Objective When Purchasing A Video Surveillance Solution

When looking for a video surveillance system for your business you need to have a firm grasp on what your needs are.

Are you interested in a crime deterrent? Do you need to see fine detail for facial recognition?  Do you need to see if an employee is putting something in their pocket? Do you need to see in the dark? Do you need to see outside or inside?

There are a wide range of systems out there today from the Do-It-Yourself  kits you can purchase at your local office supply store to professionally installed high -quality solutions from respected manufacturers like Panasonic and others.

If your motive to do is to deter crime by hoping that potential shoplifters will be discouraged by visible cameras and don’t care about capturing a usable image, the Do-It-Yourself kits are the way to go. Just remember you always get what you pay for.

We had a client that wanted to track the route of their employees down a 150 aisle –obviously a Costco kit isn’t going to accomplish that, but a quality Panasonic iPro solution with PTZ capability and long-term storage fit that bill.  You should ask yourself “What is the cost of the loss I am looking to prevent?”

Professional installation is key to correct placement, recording options and focus, so that if and when you need to retrieve an image it’s there.
