The first goal of any surveillance system is to act as a deterrent; it is for this reason that having a sign indicating the existence of the cameras is a good thing. Dealing with all of the customers which come into your shop can be difficult, but through a surveillance system, you can monitor all of your customers covertly, and thereby not infringe upon their shopping experience.

When setting up you surveillance system, it is important that you remember to monitor as many angles as possible, if you don’t accomplish this effectively, you may become a target for shoplifters, who will try to find a weakpoint in your surveillance system in order to rob you. Having multiple angles being monitored, from a mixture of readily apparent and covert cameras, is they best way for you to protect your property.
