I had no idea about commercial CCTV systems before I installed one of my own. I had never encountered them aside from seeing them at the odd Tube station or high above the streets. I own a small coffee shop so I never figured I could find a use for CCTV camera systems. I only realize now about how wrong I was.
One day on a slow afternoon a young man came into my shop and pulled out a gun on me and my staff. We were shocked. He demanded that I empty the cash register and give him all the money. I did what he asked me to fearing for our own lives. He even took a dozen muffins along with him when he left.
Later when the police came in they took the details. They told us off for not having CCTV cameras systems installed, and informed us on the huge difference the presence of CCTV camera systems would have made. First thing, anyone would have thought twice about robbing us if they saw the cameras. Second we would have had visual evidence. The thief was caught later, but I had already learnt my lesson.
I contacted SecurityCam immediately and had commercial CCTV installed. The commercial CCTV cameras have made a big difference and we feel much safer now. I advise that every commercial establishment should have it installed and avoid learning its importance the hard way like I did.
