Security

Life used to be simpler

Long gone are the days when the owner of the business ran the cash register and several hands helped out with other duties. Gone are the days when you could fully trust the people that work for you. These days it is hard to trust your business to anyone but yourself.

What is your business doing?

In today's market it is hard to imagine running a business without some sort of a security system in place. Some businesses have employed tactics such as fake camera placement and posting signs warning customers that they are being recorded. While these are somewhat useful if you are a business owner and you are not protecting that investment with surveillance then you might be setting yourself up for future problems.

You mean employees steal?

No matter how much you trust your staff, employee theft is at an all time high. It is very likely that if you let anyone handle money in your fast-casual, quickservice or retail store, you are being stolen from.

"According to U.S. News and World Report, 34 percent of all 18- to 29-year-old employees believe it is justifiable to steal from their employer. And the Department of Justice reports employee theft increases by about 15 percent each year. That along with the FBI’s findings that the number of robberies nationwide rose 7.2 percent (to 447,403) in 2006, makes restaurants and specifically quick-serves with their late-night hours, quick turnover, and high-traffic surroundings ripe for potential loses."

The future is here

The "good news" is that the last 10 years has seen a great advancement in the technology that drives the CCTV/Surveillance industry. It is now possible to record digitally and search that data for a given transaction 24/7 x 365 days a year. It is possible to view your store remotely over the internet and to easily save data in a format that is ready to be used by investigators.
