Tips For Business Safety Using Outdoor Security Camera Systems

By Mark Mahaffey


As a general manager of a pharmacy, you are likely familiar with the risk that your workers face as they oversee the drive-through window. It is not surprising that pharmacies are places that criminals like to steal from. The reason pharmacies are such tempting places to rob is because they house medications that many 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.

But by installing video cameras at each window, as well as security surveillance signs, the crooks will be less likely to get away with their crime. In order to save on electricity as well as wear and tear on the cameras, consider installing the type of cameras that are equipped with motion detectors. These cameras will only turn on when motion is detected.

Perhaps you would like to use outdoor security camera systems, but you have not budgeted for the expense. Until you have saved up the money that you need, you could simply install fake cameras. These look like real cameras, but actually just fool crooks into thinking they are real.

If someone thinks they are being videotaped, they may decide it is not worth the risk of being caught. They may leave your pharmacy without ever carrying through with their robbery.

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.
