Things To Look For When Acquiring A Security Surveillance System

By Beulah Lima


Before investing on security surveillance systems or any other equipment that costs a lot, it would be better to make sure that it serves your purpose and needs. Make a list of the objectives you are trying to accomplish and compare it with the system's features. To help you make this list, here are some suggestions:

1. Lowers theft and robbery incidents.

2. Reduce or eliminate vandalism to assets and property

3. Provide video evidence for workman compensation and safety issues

4. The ability to monitor entry and movement inside your area.

After that, you will need to set a budget for the system. Your financial budget should be in accordance with the worth you feel that the system will add to your institution or business. You should also consider any return on your investment that may come from the system (i.e. lower insurance costs, lower workman compensation claims, reduced shrinkage, etc).

Now that you have your objectives clearly spelled out, you can now begin to look for the best system that suit your needs. It is very important do some research by yourself before talking with different security firms. Also ask friends and colleagues for suggestions and to see if you can see their surveillance systems.

Researching the terms and features of the different security surveillance systems will make you confident of the things to discuss with the security companies. You need to select the firms based on how well they fit your needs. Preferably they should have experience in your industry; they should have outstanding testimonials or references from past clients, and should have finished tasks of comparable size.

Each of these companies will be using products that will meet your objectives. Search for items that provide the following important characteristics:

- Special or non-branded equipment Make certain that any products you buy is commercially accessible. Selecting products that lock you into one firm is a formula for tragedy.

- Name brand manufacturer. Aim to select manufacturers that have name brands or possess a substantial time in the industry manufacturing surveillance products.

- The capacity to see the system in action. A key element with video surveillance is viewing the video and the quality it produces in similar applications. Looking at a camera shown in a conference room does little to inform you how it will work covering a parking lot during the night.

Once you have proposals from each of the businesses carefully evaluate them. Make inquiries till you feel completely comfortable with the firm you want to choose. Always remember that there's room for negotiations. Don't select an inferior company simply because the price is right.

Lastly carefully review the purchase or lease terms of your contract. Make sure you know if you'll own the device or you'll be renting it. If you are renting the system know the buyout terms? Ensure you can meet the payment terms and there are established milestones for whenever payments will be made.
