In the past, CCTV was an expense only considered worthwhile by large companies protecting their stock and assets. In recent years, security camera technology has improved massively. Cameras are smaller and discreet, the technology is cheaper, and the cameras can be monitored on a smartphone. All these improvements have resulted in CCTV systems that are ideal for homes.
If you live in a high-crime area or have many valuable assets in your home, a home CCTV system is perfect for your needs. No burglar wants to be caught on camera as this evidence can be used in court so having a security camera is a fantastic deterrent. If someone does break into your home there is a good chance that the camera will catch them. Not only will the police use this evidence to find them and prosecute them, but you may even get your valuables back. At Safe Simple Secure in Edinburgh, some of our customers have even used this as evidence against delivery companies. We know of people who haven't had received their deliveries but the company claims they have delivered to the correct house. As there is no footage on the camera, they have proof they never received the goods.
Not every home will need a CCTV system, but we do believe it is a worthwhile investment for many homes.
