Residential and commercial properties are both vulnerable to burglars, vandals, and thieves. Crime rates are surging all over the nation, so many home and business owners are taking action. Investing in a security system is a necessary step in protecting your investment, family, and workforce from harm. With this increase in need, more and more high-tech solutions are being introduced to the security market. CCTV (an acronym for closed-circuit television) monitoring is at the forefront of the industry. Read on to learn more about how CCTV systems deter intruders of all kinds.

How Do CCTV Systems Deter Intruders?

No burglar, vandal, or potential thief wants to be recorded in the act. One look at an indoor or outdoor security camera can prompt an intruder to run for the hills. Invest in a system with night vision and a good hard drive. A hard drive with a lot of memory is important when you need to record long periods of time. If capturing every square inch of your property is not in your budget, consider a realistic-looking fake camera. This can have the same effect in scaring off intruders, at a fraction of the cost. Remember, though, that a real camera is ideal, especially when prosecuting any intruders who do gain entry and cause damage or harm.

Safety in Numbers

Neighborhoods with a high number of security systems are undesirable targets for burglars, vandals, and thieves. Even homes and businesses without their own CCTV systems have been found to be less susceptible to crime if in the vicinity of properties that do.
