Info: CCTV

[Ranger Security Solutions]

Ranger does not sell CCTV, but are you thinking of buying some?

Make sure the system informs you of a concern immediately.

If you are not notified straight away, then it is just as good as a sleeping security guard (we don't sell them either!)

And make sure you have a plan prepared if you find criminals on your property!

The plan has to keep you safe and keep you legal.

What are YOU going to do if it happens to you?

How CCTV should work...

Speaking of CCTV, this is an extract from my "Rural Security Handbook". Point one is the main and most important function of CCTV - and also the most overlooked and ignored. Even by CCTV sellers.

3.3.2.1. CCTV

With regards to CCTV, this is a very useful tool but is too often misunderstood or mis-sold and is not used appropriately or effectively. There is nothing worse than arriving at work, to find that you have been burgled and the ATV's, GPS' and other tools, equipment and vehicles have been stolen. While a member of your team has to ring round your clients, giving them the disappointing news that you can no longer deliver your products or services as promised, you sit and review the CCTV footage of the criminals getting away with your Assets. This is not an effective use of CCTV.

The functions of CCTV are:

i. Alert to the presence of suspicious activity
ii. Support the analysis of an alarm (is it correct or a false alarm?)
iii. Assist in the response of an incident (direct security staff or police to criminals’ location)
iv. Gather images to be used as evidence

If your CCTV is not informing you that something may be going wrong, at the exact time that it is possibly going wrong, then you’re CCTV is not reaching its maximum value.

Most people use CCTV for point four only, and this is not just wrong, but a waste of good money. If you're not using CCTV properly, you may as well hire a security guard, and buy him/her a nice comfy bed to sleep in.
