Along with a video security system, hidden cameras provide an additional form of security for any company. Companies depend on hidden cameras to enhance a pre-existing video security system and monitor staff behavior, prevent criminal damage and thievery, and improve overall basic safety. There are a variety of camera locations that are beneficial for providing optimal hidden surveillance coverage for companies.
Here are the best locations for hidden security cameras in a business environment:
1. Reception Areas: The reception desk is the first point of entry for employees and visitors at your office. Placing a camera in this high-traffic location will help you monitor who enters and when. A well-designed covert camera is easily concealed in office environments and is virtually undetectable. A picture frame or clock radio hidden camera works well for a reception desk and provides an effective surveillance solution.
2. Break Rooms A hidden camera placed in an employee break room can help improve employee safety, deter vandalism of vending machines, and monitor employee behavior for safety, as well as provide video evidence for harassment and accident claims. An air purifier camera blends in well inside a break room and is a great choice for monitoring the area undetected. A covert camera can be a powerful tool to monitor and stop inappropriate behavior and reduce liability.
3. Office Supply and File Rooms Keep sensitive documents, office supplies and equipment secure by installing a video camera in file and supply rooms. A hidden camera can help you keep an eye on employees to see who may be stealing office supplies such as printer cartridges for personal use or accessing files and records that are confidential. A ceiling mounted hidden camera such as a smoke detector or sprinkler head can provide a wide angle 360° view of these areas and offer an effective security solution.
4. Loading Docks Loading docks are prime targets for theft. A hidden security camera placed near a loading dock enables you to monitor deliveries and inventory coming in and going out of your facility. Monitoring a loading dock enables you to deter theft, improve safety, and protect your business from false worker’s compensation claims. An electrical box camera or floodlight camera is ideal for monitoring loading docks.
5. Warehouses Protect valuable inventory by installing a hidden camera in your warehouse. A hidden camera disguised as an exit sign enables business managers to keep a watchful eye on warehouses to deter inventory theft, monitor employee behavior and improve safety.
The Chamber of Commerce estimates that employee theft costs employers between $20 billion and $40 billion a year. Warehouses are prime targets for employee theft, and a hidden camera can catch dishonest employees in the act.
6. Dumpsters Why is it important to monitor dumpsters and trash receptacle areas? It’s common for employees to steal by throwing various items in the trash and returning later to retrieve those items. You can install a hidden camera floodlight, electrical box or loudspeaker to capture video of unwanted activity near dumpsters.
Tips to Consider When Choosing a Hidden Camera Now that we’ve highlighted the best locations to install a hidden camera at your business, here are a few tips to help you choose the right hidden camera for the job.
When choosing the right hidden camera to help secure your office, there are a few other things to consider. Assessing your needs and selecting a camera that works for your application, will ensure that you’ll end up with a hidden camera that meets your specific surveillance requirements.
1. Choose a hidden camera that blends in well in your environment Consider where you’ll be putting your hidden camera. Is the location indoors or outdoors? Could the activity move, requiring the covert camera to move as well? Choosing a concealment that won’t attract suspicion in an office environment such as an adapter, electrical box or thermostat, is key to a successful covert operation.
2. What level of detail do you need to see? How detailed of an image do you need to capture for your surveillance needs? Is a hidden camera that produces black and white images satisfactory? Do you need to capture images in the dark or in constantly-changing lighting conditions? Do you need just enough detail to let you know that “something” happened, or do you need a positive facial identification?
3. Do you need to record video? If you want to record video with your hidden camera, then in addition to the camera you’ll want to purchase a micro DVR. Micro DVRs are about the size of a pocket camera and are easy to conceal. These can be purchased separately, or you can purchase a covert camera that includes a built-in DVR for an all-in-one solution.
4. What are your desired hidden camera capabilities? Technical details make a big difference in what you may spend up front. It can also make the difference in the durability of the item. Remember – if you suspect stealing, any investment you make now in security equipment is likely to pay for itself in the long run. When safety is at stake, the cost of equipment cannot compare to the peace of mind that comes to a high quality security solution that enables you to monitor your business, improve safety and reduce theft
5. Don’t forget about the details Do you need a power supply for your hidden camera and is there a power supply where you plan to place the camera? Will the camera fit in your intended location? Do you need backup power for your camera?
Hidden Cameras Provide an Effective Security Solution for Your Business By placing hidden cameras in key locations, and choosing the best set of features for each location, businesses of all sizes can improve safety and security at their offices and protect their valuable assets. Adding a few hidden cameras at your location to complement an existing surveillance system provides effective overall security solution.
