As a business owner that likely wears many hats, you are often pulled in various directions and sometimes have less than 5 minutes to really think about your business operations. Thankfully, customizing a wireless surveillance system that is applicable for a small to large-scale business is something you don’t have to worry about. 

At Communications Technology Associates, Inc. (CTA), we are happy to customize wireless surveillance systems for your business needs. Read on to learn more about why you need to have a customized surveillance solution? Let’s dive in.

Why a Surveillance System is Necessary for Modern Businesses

According to figures from the FBI, there are around 7 million property-related crimes reported each year, adding up to over $3,000 worth of damage to small businesses. 

Another report stated that theft is getting worse and worse in small retail stores, with more than half (56%) of all small retail businesses reporting some type of theft. Of course, this is just a sampling of what’s going on in retail stores alone and doesn’t even get into the incidents that impact not only employee but guest safety throughout the other types of businesses across the nation, like offices, facilities, and repair shops. 

It’s safe to say that surveillance systems are no longer a luxury that a business might consider but should be thought of as a necessary part of running a business today.

In addition to theft and incidents happening on a business’s property, commercial surveillance systems can also protect businesses against attempted breaches. As more and more businesses are embracing digital tools and software, this has become an even greater threat. A system, including cameras and more, is necessary for virtually any modern business of any size operating anywhere. 

What Does it Mean to Customize a Surveillance System?

No two businesses are exactly alike in the way they operate, serve their customers, or produce their products, although there are generalities. In our opinion, every business should customize its surveillance system to best address the most applicable risks associated with its company. 

Thankfully, CTA is all about offering customized solutions for all businesses. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We believe in integrating the kind of system that makes the most sense and provides the greatest service to each of our clients. The following are a few ways that a system can be customized to address a business’s specific and individual needs:

Wireless Camera Placement and Types of Cameras

Security camera placement is immensely important when it comes to setting up the right kind of surveillance system. Getting this right is key to ensuring that there are no blind spots that will be left unmonitored. Choosing the right camera for each business is also important, as this will go a long way in determining the visual ability of each camera and the overall protected area. CTA, serving Wichita, KS, offers a variety of camera system solutions to suit various businesses’ needs, including the following options:

• Dome Camera: This can be used both outside and inside.
• Anti-Vandal Camera: Perfect for high-risk areas, durable and reliable.
• Bullet Camera: Great at monitoring long distances.
• PTZ Camera: Advanced pan-tilt-zoom cameras provide dynamic and complete coverage.
• Covert Camera: Hidden camera, ideally suited for surveillance with discretion. 

All CTA security systems come equipped with software that is user-friendly and accessible through mobile apps and more. This allows you, as a business owner, to monitor your building and the entire security system from anywhere at any time, giving you complete control over your system. 

Security Camera Installation

Another important factor when creating a customized wireless surveillance system that will meet your needs is the camera installation process. While you might think this is something you can handle on your own, at CTA, our professionals take care of this for you and ensure that the cameras are properly placed to give you the best views possible, leading to the greatest level of protection. In fact, proper installation can make or break a camera surveillance system, making even good cameras less than helpful or virtually useless. At CTA, we do the following when completing your camera system installation:

• Choose optimal placement based on your feedback, concerns, and problem areas. This will ensure you are getting the best coverage.
• Install the system properly to prevent potential video quality issues.
• Help you seamlessly integrate this camera system into any current systems you might be using. 
• CTA also provides training for all those using the system (who have access to the system) as well as ongoing support to ensure you get the most out of your wireless surveillance system. 

Allowing us to install the camera system for you will help you prevent problems before they even occur. This can save you a great deal of money down the road. We also help you ensure that you are maintaining regulatory, compliance and insurance requirements so you won’t have to worry about being fined or accidentally committing an infraction that could have lasting negative implications for your business. 

Data Storage

Another customizable factor for surveillance systems is the data storage aspect. Thankfully, you can choose how much footage or data you want to keep and learn how to access it if situations occur. Having the right amount of data storage, spanning 15, 30 or even 90 days, requires sufficient and reliable bandwidth, along with an uninterrupted connection. Thankfully, at CTA, we can evaluate your current set up and determine if you have what’s needed to run your system. If not, we will upgrade the equipment and/or software along with your internet to meet the requirements of your new surveillance system.
