Surveillance systems / CCTV

There must be a starting point for preparing specification so that it will reflect the reason for purchasing it. Make a statement of the problems that are to be resolved, such as:

• Vandalism in manufacturing industries, banks, oil companies, shops, office complexes and residential premises.
• Shop theft
• Industrial or commercial break-ins
• The target for the intruder, is it material goods or information? I.e. industrial espionage
• Danger to individuals from attacks
• Health and safety of individuals on the premises or site.
• To replace or reduce manned guarding.
• To supplement manned guarding, making them more efficient.
• To monitor persons entering and leaving the premises
• To provide visual confirmation of intruders activating an alarm
• To monitor a remote, unattended site.

The list is obviously endless in general terms, but for a particular site, there must be finite reasons for considering CCTV. If they cannot be listed, you probably do not need it.
