CCTV Cameras: Are they really enough?
The biggest misconception that comes up when discussing Mobile Patrol services is that “We’re Ok, we have CCTV cameras.” Which couldn’t be further from the truth.
What are Mobile Patrols?
Firstly, what exactly are Mobile Patrols? Mobile patrols are security officers situated in highly visible vehicles. Patrolling the interior and exterior of a business, the mobile officer monitors blind and hotspots for potential vandalism or break-ins. Our mobile officers make random or planned visits to these certain checkpoints, which are then listed in the report they create while on duty.
How different are CCTV cameras compared to Mobile Patrols?
There is a huge difference between the two. While CCTV cameras allow you to monitor certain areas of your business there are still lots of blind spots. A Mobile Patrol service aims to monitor the whole premises minimising potential security breaches. CCTV surveillance cameras are easily avoidable by intruders by moving towards areas which are poorly lit. This makes easy for an individual to slip in and out of frame without detection.
Mobile Patrols as a security service is currently giving its counterpart, manned guarding, a run for its money. As a cost-effective service, you are essentially receiving more than you bargained for.
After a careful study, using a Mobile Patrol service results cheaper than paying someone to just sit monitoring your surveillance cameras. There are many businesses that think they don’t need security services as they have surveillance cameras, however the hard truth is that it will still not be enough to stop an intruder or a vandal terrorising your property.
What can you do?
