How To Enhance The Benefits Office CCTV

14/6/2020 Uncategorised

There are many benefits to having an office CCTV system installed, and, with a little effort, you can enhance the performance and effectiveness of your system. Here’s how.

Keep cameras clean

Dusty, dirty CCTV cameras can never be fully effective. In the event of a break-in, the images may be blurry and unclear, making tracing the culprits extremely challenging for the police. Keep your CCTV cameras clean by carefully wiping over the lenses once a week with a clean, damp cloth.

Install signs

Potential burglars will think twice if they can see that your premises are protected by CCTV cameras. Make sure that you display clear signage, warning visitors that you have CCTV installed.

Install security lighting

CCTV footage is only truly effective in catching criminals if the images it provides are clear. Installing movement-activated lighting in the vicinity of your cameras will provide clearer, well-lit pictures, as well as act as a deterrent.

Correct date and time

In the event that you are the victim of crime, your CCTV camera footage may be required as evidence in court. For this reason, it is essential that the correct date and time is displayed on the film. If your cameras are not calibrated correctly and are showing the wrong date and time, you are effectively providing intruders with an alibi!

Sometimes the date and time setting can be thrown out by a power cut or a power surge, so make it a habit to check the settings on your office CCTV system at least weekly. If you can’t figure out how to correct the settings, your supplier will be able to change it for you.

In conclusion

A CCTV system offers many benefits to your business in terms of security and crime prevention. Keep your cameras clean, display warning signage around the outside of your building, and make sure that the date and time settings on the cameras are correct; these simple tips will enhance the benefits of your system.

In addition, it is important to have your CCTV system properly maintained and serviced annually. For more information on this, contact our helpful team today.

This company is the only company I would use for all my home security and air con requirements. I have had three air con units fitted. The installation team go to great lengths to minimise disruption and to clean up after themselves. They do not leave until the customer is happy with the installation and that the customer knows how it works. Booking a service is easy and the staff are Polite and knowledgeable. Customer service is a priority for this company. Well done and thank you.

We recently had a new camera and alarm system installed by I-HT in our office. The service was excellent and the install and set up was done in less than an hour. I can control everything from my phone which is fantastic. I would highly recommend I-HT.

Excellent company to work with. We have recently upgraded our CCTV with I-HTT as we were happy with the service we received with our original equipment they provided. If ever we have a problem which is usually operator error rather than the equipment we have made a call and the response and help is arranged very quickly, either over the phone or a technician comes to our premises. As a company we have no negatives. It's always a relief when a company offers a service and they actually meet there promises. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent service over the years that we have been with them, Lee and the engineers have always responded quickly to any problems or queries that we have had.

We stumbled across I-HT CCTV a few years ago now and, quite simply, have never looked back! Professional advice and support ensuring you get the best product possible! I have never known a Company who are so committed to being customer-focused and ensuring that their customers are happy. Whether it be the Installation Team or Admin Team, their polite, professional service is second to none. As our Company has grown, I-HT has become and integral part of our safety & security arsenal - I really have no idea how we managed before them. Thank you Lee & Team for all you do in keeping our wheels rolling!
