Tips For Businesses: Outdoor Security Camera Systems For Increased Safety

By Mark Mahaffey


If you are the manager of a pharmacy, you may be interested increasing the security at the drive-through window. Pharmacies are a place that many criminals would like to rob, because they contain so many of the medications that people are addicted to.

There are so many rules governing these drugs that people who are addicted to them have a hard time getting them. Therefore, in order to get them, people often have to turn to crime and robbery. Think about how easy it would be for someone to pull a gun out at a drive-through pharmacy window and command the worker to give him medicine!

However, you can reduce the likelihood of this happening simply by hanging video cameras at each window of the drive-through. And in order to be a good conservationist, you can choose to buy cameras which come with motion detectors on them. They will only turn on when there is activity around them, and this conserves electricity.

Does the cost of purchasing several outdoor security cameras seem too much for your current budget? If so, you can buy some dummy cameras. These look like the real thing, but are only meant to fool customers into thinking they are real.

The benefit of using dummy cameras is that just their presence may cause people to behave better. You can use real cameras in a few areas, and then use dummy cameras in areas where you do not need such strict monitoring.

Be sure, however, to put the cameras in places where your customers will be sure to see them. This helps to guarantee that you get the most benefit from the cameras. The idea is to make sure that everyone who drives up to your window will see a camera so they think they are being watched.
