The Cost of Not Having CCTV

Do you think you might need a CCTV system for your business? It can seem like an unnecessary extra cost, but it can give you extra protection for your business. And in the long term it can be well worth the capital outlay.

There are benefits to opting for that extra cost. Here are three to consider.

1. Proof of Issues and Events

If you regularly have problems happening around your business, CCTV can provide extra proof. It is difficult for police to capture criminals without descriptions unless they happen to get caught causing disturbances and breaking the law somewhere else. With camera footage, you can offer a view of the person/people involved.

Police can often use CCTV from others to protect businesses. They will gather footage to monitor the activity of known individuals or problem areas.

2. Discourage Crimes and Criminal Behaviour

If you know that you’re being recorded you are less likely to commit a crime. While you may not have had any intention, there’s that knowledge that there is more chance you would be caught if you did. This goes on in the minds of criminals.

Rather than assaulting you or breaking into your business, the criminal will move on. It keeps you safe, and means your insurance costs are not increased because of claims and valuables are also kept safe.

3. Keep Your Costs Down

Briefly mentioned above, insurance costs can be lowered with cameras on your business premises. You’re adding the extra protection, so reducing the risk to yourself and your business property or home. Insurance companies know they are less likely to pay out, so will reduce your premiums.

In conclusion, adding CCTV to your property is definitely worthwhile. Yes, there is an initial cost, but think of the peace of mind and extra protection you get. If something does happen, assailants are more likely to get caught and you save money on insurance costs, as you’re keeping your business property, or home, as protected as possible.

LED There Be Light

The lighting industry is continuously improving and developing new products geared toward reducing energy use while meeting the illumination requirements of any given space.

With the recent rapid development of LED’s perhaps your lighting is in urgent need of a makeover.

And what makes this an even more attractive proposition is - if you are using old lighting technology - you really are paying a high cost for it!

To understand the kind of savings new technologies yield, consider that a 65-watt incandescent bulb produces roughly the same amount of light as a 15-watt CFL or an 11-watt LED, assuming that each is using the same fixture.

So in simplistic terms for example 

• The 65 watt incandescent costs 65p a day to run.

• The 15 watt CFL costs 15p a day to run.

• The 11 watt LED costs 11p a day to run

* (All depending on energy costs)

Newer technologies do more than slash energy consumption and utility budgets. Modern lighting systems also can reduce maintenance costs by delivering longer lamp life and easier replacement methods.

Boom! It’s a no-brainier. But wait there’s more…

With all the dust, dirt and light depreciation in older buildings, new energy efficient lighting also can improve the appearance. It makes a space look the way it is supposed to look. You get clean new lamps with an upgrade, and all of a sudden it looks new again.

Many facility managers look at lighting upgrades as just changing lamps or upgrading the ballast from magnetic to electronic. But there are other considerations. When selecting from the wide array of new technologies, factors to consider across a number of products include:

• Efficiency improvements (lumens per watt)

• Efficiency standards

• Environmentally conscious products

• Long-life products

For example, if a facility manager is considering an LED product based on the fact that it delivers high efficiency and long life, it is also important to consider the kind of fixture it requires for successful operation. 

It's bad for the environment if you have to throw away all of the lamps in a building every time it fails.

It's only a matter of time before the replaceable light engine feature of some LED fixtures becomes a requirement rather than a nice option.
