What is remote security CCTV?
Remote security CCTV systems are a type of CCTV system with internet connectivity. This internet connectivity allows you to view (and sometimes control) your CCTV system remotely, usually from your mobile device or computer. Depending on the system you're using, the remote viewing software may be provided by the CCTV company. Some other systems will require you to find third-party software. If you want to use this feature immediately, it is recommended to find compatible viewing software before buying your remote security CCTV system.
What are the security benefits of CCTV cameras?
CCTV systems have many security benefits. The first benefit of CCTV is deterrence. Just the presence of CCTV cameras alone is enough to deter most would-be trespassers. Secondly, if someone does intrude on your property, the CCTV footage can be helpful when making insurance claims or reporting an incident to the police. Finally, by using CCTV monitoring services, you can get early warning of anything that gets caught on your CCTV cameras. This lets you take immediate action to minimise the potential damage of any security incident.
What benefits does remote security CCTV have over regular CCTV?
In addition to the benefits listed above, there are also several benefits that remote security CCTV systems have over regular CCTV systems. For one, the ability to check your CCTV system from anywhere can give you peace of mind that your property is secure. In a commercial or retail setting, this peace of mind extends to confirming that your employees are being productive. On top of this, you can check your property to confirm if things like deliveries or tradespeople have arrived on time. Being able to check this remotely lets you take action early when someone or something hasn't come. When you are relying on goods or services arriving before a specific time, this can be extremely useful. Because of all this and more, it is absolutely worth choosing remote security CCTV over regular CCTV.
