Security surveillance

Security surveillance systems greatly reduce the likelihood of a break in ever occurring. Even if a burglary occurs, a functional system can provide the added benefit of catching it on film. This can be used as evidence, or simply as an educational record of security weaknesses.

The way that security surveillance is set up in a home or business may be described as overt or covert. Overt systems are easily recognized, while covert systems are hidden. Each has its own particular benefits.

Because an overt security surveillance system is easily spotted, it can be used primarily to discourage people from engaging in any criminal behavior. Such a set-up may not even need to be functional to serve most its purpose. A hidden system, on the other hand, may be best used if it is necessary for people to remain unaware that they are being watched. Such cameras may be used to monitor employees or housekeepers who may not be entirely trustworthy.
