Business continuity refers to all actions and planning measures taken to prevent your business from coming to harm or experiencing any serious disruptions. There are many tools and processes involved with ensuring business continuity. AST London explains how CCTV cameras and surveillance can play a central role in your business security, which contributes to the maintenance of your company’s continued operations and success.
The Functions of CCTV and Business Continuity
CCTV cameras are there to provide 24-hour surveillance of your business premises. In so doing, they don’t merely capture images of criminals. This is their primary function, but as they provide much-needed visual evidence and deterrence, they are actually carrying out several key business continuity functions at the same time.
They capture incidences of outside theft, which enables you to prosecute offenders more successfully. In turn, your improved capacity to prosecute these infringements acts a deterrent to future attempts. They also help to prevent and reduce losses due to in-house theft or negligence. The simple installation of CCTV cameras will often serve as an effective deterrent against theft.
Cameras are also there to monitor company safety. When risks or potential problems occur, they can be spotted immediately and steps can be taken to mitigate them. In situations where a safety event could not be prevented, the footage from the CCTV cameras can be used to analyze the event and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
In all of those ways, CCTV cameras act as an aid to business continuity, effectively reducing the potential harms that can befall a company, such as theft and safety events.
