Benefits of Alarm Systems & Security Cameras

Prevent Employee Theft
Many people are shocked to find out that the number one reason for inventory variance is employee theft. The temptation to take inventory is just too great for many workers. According to the 2002 National Retail Survey, 48% of your inventory shrinkage is due to employee theft. That translates to $15 billion in losses each year for U.S. companies. Employees handle your money and they handle your products.

An Employee Training Tool
Video systems can be used to evaluate employee behavior, not only for inventory loss issues, but for employee training as well.

Can Reduce Insurance Premiums and Taxes
Security systems can reduce your insurance premiums. Check with your insurance agent. Security systems can also protect insurance companies against false claims. Businesses are allowed to deduct equipment purchases, this could make security system purchases tax deductible for many companies. Consult your accountant to see if you would qualify.

Prevent Vandalism
Monitor the outside of your business to help prevent vandalism and attempted break-ins of your customer’s, employee’s and your personal property. A properly placed security camera can deter many crimes.

Cost Effective
The cost of alarm systems & video surveillance has fallen in recent years. In many cases, the cost of one observation system will be far less than the cost of one employee theft. Many home owners are now implementing security cameras in their homes to watch children, the elderly, the swimming pool and more.
