Business nowadays has big problems in security. There are many cases presenting that crimes and fraud are attacking if the business were already closed and the business establishment have not enough security to prevent a particular crime. Security is one of the important things to consider in a business. It is important across all walks of life to ensure the overall safety and possessions of all individual are comprehensively protected. Closed Circuit Television is a situational measure that enables locale to be kept under surveillance remotely.
This makes it possible for the police, and other law and regulatory agencies such as private security, to respond to incidents when alerted, and to have information about what to look for what they arrive. The storing of images means that post-incident analysis helpful to an investigation can be facilitated. The presence of CCTV as integrated security solutions can also be important for the customers in a particular establishment to feel them secured. As their safety and wellbeing can be placed under threat by an individual who carries out violence or a criminal act, it is vital to integrate adequate protection.In doing so, it can play a fundamental role in catching any perpetrators who steal or damage valuable products or property.
Background of the Study A combination of perceptions and fears of increased street crime and advances in technology has seen an upsurge in the use of closed circuit television (CCTV) as a tool in tackling crime in public places. Many private companies and a number of local government authorities have initiated trials in the use of CCTV. Closed Circuit Television could reduce crime by increasing the likelihood that present offenders will be caught, stopped, removed, punished and therefore deterred.It is also could reduce crime by deterring potential offenders who will not want to be observed by CCTV operators or have evidence against the captured on camera. The presence of Closed Circuit Television provides confidence to the public and makes them less fearful about becoming a victim of crime. According to NSW Government in Sydney, because CCTV is relatively new, it is still not clear how effective it is in deterring or reducing crime.
Research evidence so far suggests that it can be an effective strategy in situational crime prevention at a local level, but only as one of a range of crime prevention strategies.It appears from the research that CCTV may be effective in addressing property crime and some types of assault and robbery. Evidence also suggests that the benefits of CCTV surveillance fade after a period of time, and that displacement may occur, that is, the crime may simply move to other areas away from the CCTV surveillance, or there may be a shift to different sorts of crime which are less susceptible to CCTV surveillance. For these reasons, CCTV on its own can do little to address long term crime prevention.CCTV should only be considered as one part of an integrated crime prevention strategy and should be installed on a trial basis subject to rigorous evaluation as to its effectiveness.
Cited at Australian Government Initiative, Closed Circuit Television has both a set up cost and an ongoing recurrent operating cost. These costs can make it expensive to implement and maintain. Furthermore technology is constantly improving requiring ongoing decision making as to whether the equipment being used will need to be upgraded.
