Firstly, whether a business has experienced a criminal act on their property or not, all businesses want to protect themselves from criminals. CCTV monitors help record and survey both internal and external areas, resulting in a robust security solution. If a business owner, security guard or employee is suspicious of a potential crime, the surveillance tapes can be used to observe and check for any suspicious activity. Secondly, the thought of a business having a CCTV monitor can make a criminal reconsider the crime they are going to commit. Regardless of who the criminal is, no one likes being watched. As CCTV monitors are usually very visible, if a criminal is aware of a security camera being present around the property, there is a higher chance of them turning around and removing themselves from the scene before committing the crime.
