Crime Prevention - Systems, Programs, Tips and Articles

This Article is about Preventing Crime - Not about generating Crime Evidence only

 

The unstable future perspective, created by the finance crunch and the frequent reporting about it, has caused Crime Rates to go through the roof. The Government as well as the majority of the press are trying to 'Keep the lid on it', but reports of unusually rough and frequent break-in's, cases of vandalism, assaults and thefts are coming in from every side.

Crime Prevention Programs

Every Business should develop a Crime Prevention Program. The finincial tight market situation seems to logically call for savings. Yet the costs caused by undetected staff-theft and intrusion, is often the 'Straw that broke the camel's back'. A few basic modifications to your premises could save you much money. Even more advanced systems usually save a multiple more than they cost. A proper financial forecast, including crime costs, as well as crime-prevention costs, will show this very clearly.

Crime Prevention Systems

Ideal CCTV recommends to consider the following measures for medium to large businesses with occasional to regular crime-costs. Not all of them are needed in all situations - Please consider the following a help and inspiration:

  • Motion Detection enabled Megapixel IP Cameras and CCTV Warning Signs at Fire-Exit Doors
  • If a Burglar-Alarm System is installed, set all Side and Fire-Exits to 'Chime' as well
  • Create every possible extra 'discomfort and barrier' to possible thefts by staff and visitors
  • Metal Bars for Windows?
  • Steel Shutters for Doors?
  • Motion Detection Spotlights? (Not effective in exclusively industrial estates)

 

Advanced Burglar and Intrusion Prevention Systems

Megapixel IP Security Camera installations carried out by Ideal CCTV can incorporate the following features:

  • Thirty times more detail and  higher resolution than standart analogue CCTV Cameras
  • Automatic E-Mail and Mobile Phone notification (including picture) upon Motion Detection in certain areas outside of business hours. This allows Crime-Prevention, rather than Crime-Evidence only.
  • Two-Way Audio Communication and External / Internal Speakers to warn intruders (Automatic Messages can be broadcasted too)
