According to an article in the Jacksonville Business Journal, the cost of workplace crime exceeds the amount Southern Florida businesses spend on office space and commercial rentals each year. Perhaps the solution to this situation would be a good digital video camera security system to monitor employees.

The Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics performed a study from 1992 – 1996 which determined that approximately 2 million Americans a year become workplace crime victims. According to a study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health the number one cause of death for women at work is murder, and it’s the number two cause for murdered men at work, with an average of twenty-one Americans murdered each week at work. A digital video camera security system may not be able to stop any of these things from happening, but it can be a very strong deterrent.

Did you ever think you would be able to watch your business from home?

The 2009 Forbes magazine ranked Miami as number 9 in the Top 10 Most Miserable Cities in the country. The ranking was based on nine different factors, one of which was commute times. Not that Southern Florida is the only place in the country that has long commute times, however Orlando and Tampa also made the top ten worst commute list. Wouldn’t you like to able to stay at home on those really bad commute days and watch your business from home?

Pan-tilt-zoom or PTZ cameras have the freedom of mobility to move about a horizontal and vertical axis thereby increasing the field of view for the camera. In fact in some situations one PTZ camera may be able to perform the work of two or more stationary cameras. In addition, the zoom function allows combination’s of lenses to create telephoto enlargements for better clarity of objects that may be too far away from a normal camera lens.

A business security cameras system is a must for businesses in Southern Florida. It can protect a business from both external and internal adverse events.

According to an article in the April 5, 2005 Jacksonville Business Journal, the Florida Attorney General (at that time) Charlie Crist said, “Whether it’s a business unaware of an internal fraud problem or an employee afraid to walk to her car every night, crime takes a serious toll on Florida’s workplaces . . .Fortunately, much of this crime is preventable. . . . businesses need more information about their security risks and how to reduce them.”
