Closed circuit television (CCTV)

CCTV systems are an effective and useful tool for crime prevention and can help with the investigation of crime. However, careful consideration must be given to placement and management of any CCTV system.

For the system to be effective you should take the following advice:

Placement

Make sure the camera faces towards the main doorway/entrance so you get a clear head and shoulders image of everybody entering and leaving the premises.

Make sure there is enough light for the camera to give a proper picture.

Place CCTV signs and public warning signs that they are being recorded around your building/s and inside reception areas.
