How will the CCTV system help secure my warehouse?

The benefits of having a CCTV system extend beyond simply recording footage. Here's how it can improve your warehouse security.

1. Comprehensive Surveillance

Your CCTV system records everyone who enters your property, providing important documentation of all activity within and around your facilities. Whether it's staff, guests, or possible invaders, every movement is recorded and saved for future reference.

2. Footage Storage

Your CCTV system can preserve footage for 21–30 days, ensuring that no incident goes unreported. This extended storage time enables you to efficiently analyse previous incidents, track patterns, and collect evidence, thus improving your overall security situation.

3. Legal Evidence

In the event of a security breach or unlawful activity, your CCTV footage can be used as solid proof in investigations and legal actions. 

4. Real-Time Alerts

Stay ahead of potential hazards with real-time alerts sent directly to your smartphone. Your CCTV system can send a 20-second video clip to your device, immediately notifying you of any unauthorised activity on your property, through the night.

5. Emergency Response

In critical situations, such as a burglary in progress, your CCTV system allows you to take rapid action. By dialling 111, you can alert emergency services such as the police and send a quick response to deter burglars and protect your business.
