The most obvious and the most utilized portion of CCTV services is a deterrent against shoplifting. CCTV cameras can be placed to monitor the more “desirable” products displayed in the store and these cameras can monitor for shoplifters. One product that has become desirable in recent times is the meat counter in the grocery or super store. The theft of meat (steaks and roasts) from that area has become more and more prevalent during hard economic times.

How many businesses actually know what their busiest days and hours are on the store floor? Through the use of CCTV services the customer traffic flow can be monitored and charted. Through the use of this monitoring and charting, staffing in the store can be optimized to provide the most staff at the busiest times. This leads to greater customer satisfaction and repeat customers.

When owners and management are on the sales floor or in the stock areas, employees are always “on their best behavior” knowing that the boss is out and watching what is going on. When the owner or management return to the office, they have no idea of what the employees actually are engaged in. Just as CCTV services monitor customers, the same system can monitor the actions of employees when management is out of sight. Through the use of a CCTV system, owners and managers can monitor the employees at any time without the employee being aware of the monitoring. This assists in identifying productive employees and non-productive employees.

There is hardly a business in existence today that has not been threatened by a nuisance lawsuit. A customer claims that a slip or fall on a wet floor or on ice outside the business caused them serious injury. It is extraordinarily difficult to prove that the plaintiff is lying about the slip or fall without actual evidence. CCTV services can provide that evidence. The time/date stamp on the video can show that the plaintiff did not slip and fall at the time that they stated they did. This evidence is incontrovertible and highly admissible in a court of law.

Courts of law are often bogged down with nuisance lawsuits. These nuisance lawsuits can prove to be difficult for the owner of a business to deny. Through the utilization of a well designed CCTV system, the business has the opportunity to review the images from the location that the plaintiff stated they received an injury. The use of this data often is the first line of defense for a business against a nuisance lawsuit. This data, which includes both date and time, can be presented to lawyers and in the courts thus negating the nuisance lawsuit.
