4 Reasons Small Business Needs Security

Running a business is hard work, and no one cares about your business as you do. We get it.

No, really. We do. We’re a small business too. And while growing this business is one of the most amazing accomplishments, it can also be stressful. Business owners have to wear multiple hats, all day, every day.

The responsibility can be overwhelming and many entrepreneurs run themselves ragged ensuring their business is as successful as possible.

Luckily - the robots are here to save us.

(Kidding)

But technology really is advancing quickly and can be a powerful tool for the busy mogul in training. A quality video security system is a valuable asset to any business owner’s peace of mind, but your business’s video cameras can also be used as a tool that can help you get OUT of your business so that you can work ON your business.

Let’s dive in on 4 unique things small business owners can do with their video security system:

1.Monitor and Control, even from afar.

A video security solution allows business owners to have eyes on their business 24/7, even while on vacation! Owners and managers can use their smartphone to remotely view live and recorded footage from any location.

Another interesting feature is event notifications – users can set up customized notifications for certain activities such as hours of operations. For example - if a retail business is closed between the hours of 7 PM and 7 AM, an alert can be set to be sent to your device if there is motion detected outside of those hours. Access your footage in live time to investigate and take action.

2. Review incidents and determine fault.

High-quality video footage allows small business owners to access and review footage in order to understand what really happened. For instance, if there are concerns about the cash register or items missing from a retail store, then the ability to get eyes on the incident are critical to understanding exactly what transpired and who the culprits are.

Video surveillance is also a valuable tool from a liability perspective – especially in the case of a workplace injury or slip and fall claim. Having objective evidence helps all parties in the event of a lawsuit and provides protection to the business owner in the event of a false claim.

3. Save time with customized multi-user access.

Multi-user access levels allow owners to delegate authority to managers – increasing security, safety, and efficiency without disrupting the chain of command. These features can also help your bottom line as you can grant temporary access to your security provider so they can troubleshoot any issues (we recommend scDataCom!)

4. Utilize technology platforms and partners to grow your business, not just protect it.

Technology is quickly evolving and today’s video surveillance solutions are cost-effective, user friendly, and offer small business owners much-needed flexibility and insights.
