Installing Security: What Are They Doing? Your CCTV System Knows

Many chain businesses have sites that are not contiguously located. Many sites are separated by tens of miles. How can managerial staff adequately know what the staff at the remote locations is doing? The answer is to have a CCTV installation at each site. The CCTV system can transmit video over the Internet to the main office and provide the ability for the managerial staff to monitor all of the activities at the remote sites. That is why it’s important to include this when installing security systems.

Modern CCTV systems have the ability to access the Internet. This accessibility permits the manager of several remotely located stores to monitor those stores from the home office. This remote monitoring can be utilized in performance evaluations of employees, determination of traffic flow in the store and potentially the flow of traffic outside of the store. This data is transmitted in real time and without the knowledge of the employees or the customers in the store.

One of the major factors of the profitability of a store is the employees and their interactions with customers. Through the utilization of remote CCTV monitoring this interaction can be viewed and recorded. Employees who do not interact with customers in a friendly and courteous manner can be provided remedial training to increase customer satisfaction. The utilization of a field supervisor to monitor the employee is ineffective since the employee knows that the field manager is present and their actions may be different than when the field manager is not present. So be sure to include effective measures when installing security for the company.

Remote monitoring of a location also provides the manager of the stores the ability to move personnel from a store that is “slow” to one that is “in the weeds”. Without the ability to remotely monitor locations, the manager of the stores will never know which store is understaffed which consequently leads to customer dissatisfaction due to slow service. Remote monitoring permits the manager to utilize available floating staff to rapidly move from location to location.

A CCTV installation will reduce the amount of shoplifting that goes on in any store. The ability to remotely monitor the store provides management the opportunity to view the day to day operations of the store without being physically present in the store. A reduction in shoplifting, increased customer satisfaction and the ability to identify underperforming employees will make the profit margin of each store increase so that’s why you should consider CCTV when installing security.
