Are you aware that most employees are the greatest culprits of profit loss in most business especially the ones who are getting their hours cut due to the severe economic recession/depression. Many savvy employees are very knowledgeable on how their employer’s business functions day in and day out. Employees can steal data or goods and sell them on the street for an illegal profit. Or they can generate illegal data, like an employee using your Web server to host child pornography on the sly.
Did you ever think maybe those people are stealing food to feed there family’s! If they want drugs they wouldn’t be stealing meat!
Employees can be affected as far as wages even to the point of not being able to get raises. Let’s be very clear here that more theft is often done by employees rather than customers. Employees would inadvertently allow in malware which could put the entire business at risk, or cripple the systems. Employee theft sums were more than 5.6 times greater per incident, averaging $1,842. The total value recovered, including customer and employee theft, was $3 billion.
Internal shrinkage is one of the the biggest culprits of why business go bankrupt, employees are layed off, and benefits and bonuses are cut. Internal shrinkage can be anything as little as taking office supplies home or eating food you are not suppose to. All these little things, aside from common product or cash theft, add up and make a significant impact in a company’s profit margins.
Making businesses more safe in this day and time is made easier with surveillance camera systems. Theft happens in every kind of business from retail to road repair. Also, people come in establishments today and shoot or disable people for life. Take a look at the the Reverend Fred Winters who was conducting a service in the First Baptist Church in Maryville when the seemingly inexplicable happened. “Gentleman walked down the aisle, spoke with the pastor, the pastor then killed him in cold blood at point blank range. Cameras can cut way down on all these crimes.
With the economy at near depression level, businesses need to be careful with their losses. Whether it is supplies or products stolen by employees or goods stolen by customers, theft cost businesses billions of dollars every year. This affects profits that can affect stockholders as far as their dividends sometimes. Employees can be affected in several ways. For one, they may lose their job. Or get their wages reduced without the possibility of ever getting a raise again. Again, more theft is often done by employees rather than customers as employees know when and what to steal.
Also, CEO’s and business owners can’t oversee their business 24x 7. This is where the surveillance and hidden camera systems come in. They act like round the clock security guards watching employees to commit theft and other crimes. They also keep a visual permanent record of all that goes on. Video surveillance camera clips can help prosecute when these crimes occur.
In these recessionary times, it is too tempting for customers and employee’s to just take what they need through shoplifting. Some things may even wind up being auctioned off on eBay or pawned for the money in a pawn shop. Theft does not just happen with customers either. Many times employees steal office supplies and bring them home for their kids. Also, retail employees steal merchandise; often times carry stuff out the back door thinking they won’t get caught. Waiters and Waitresses steal food in the restaurants they work. Surveillance camera systems are a must.
Now we also have these systems in banks and have caught those criminals that have robbed these institutions. The systems also have helped catch murderers in the act. Too bad we could not get Jeffery Dalmer on a video surveillance camera as he drilled into his victims heads! Convenience stores use surveillance systems to help prosecute robbers in hold ups.
Today you have many choices in video surveillance camera systems. There are ones designed for exterior use such as parking lots and exteriors of buildings and surrounding areas. There are peep hole door cameras that watch people come and go.
As far as interior cameras, there are even register cameras and wireless cameras. There are the hidden cameras that can be used where needed too.
Hidden cameras usually are wireless and transmit the video to a receiver and the output of the receiver to a DVR, but many hidden cameras are self contained with internal DVRs that record onto a Secure Digital card. You have to think about what type of surveillance camera systems will suit your specific needs. Whether it is for business surveillance on customers or whether it is to watch your employees these systems will go far to protect your business and maybe your life!
