How Outdoor Security Camera Systems Improve Business Safety

By Mark Mahaffey


If you are the manager of a pharmacy, you may be interested increasing the security at the drive-through window. Pharmacies are a place that many criminals would like to rob, because they contain so many of the medications that people are addicted to.

Because these substances are controlled and regulated so strongly, it is relatively hard to get them, so people have to resort to violence and burglary. It would be very easy for a crook to drive up to a pharmacy window, pull out a gun and demand medications.

However, the risk of this can be lowered simply by installing video cameras at the windows. It is also smart to put up signs that warn potential thieves that there is security surveillance going on. To conserve electricity, it is recommended that you purchase motion activated cameras. These cameras only switch on and begin recording when there is action detected by the sensors.

If you are interested in utilizing outdoor security camera systems, but are put off by the expense of installing and maintain a large number of them, consider using a few dummy cameras. Dummy cameras are cameras that are meant to fool people into thinking that they are being watched by a real camera.

The benefit of using dummy cameras is that just their presence may cause people to behave better. You can use real cameras in a few areas, and then use dummy cameras in areas where you do not need such strict monitoring.

The important thing to remember is that you fake cameras need to be very visible to customers. This ensures that you use them to their fullest advantage. Install them so that they are very noticeable to everyone who drives up to the pharmacy window.
