Mostly companies think of CCTV as preventing just thefts and don't think of all the other crimes that they can guard against. For example CCTV can also prevent people from vandalising your property which will be expensive to fix, and from being aggressive towards your clientele. Furthermore CCTV can even help you to prevent other crimes within the local community so improving your company's standing within it.

The ways in which it prevents crime are also varied and are not limited to just enabling you to spot people pocketing your items. Below we'll look at some of the ways CCTV lets you prevent crime.

- Criminal acts deterrent:
CCTV system is not only good for catching crimes in action, but is very advantageous for actually preventing crimes as it improves the possibility of the criminal getting caught which makes your building less of a target.

- Helping police investigation:
is an extra highly beneficial and also humanitarian use of CCTV cameras. This affects your own store primarily and helps you to get your stolen goods back - if a CCTV set up doesn't manage to deter a crime from occurring in the first instance, it can usually still capture a sufficient enough amount of it so that you can aid in the emergency services in their investigations. This can then improve the probability of the criminals getting caught, and so in turn would improve the likelihood of you regaining your money or property, and lessen the likelihood of a second offence (criminals often return to the scene of their crime as is common knowledge with forensic investigators so it's important for your security to catch those who commit crimes against you once).

If nothing else, it will then help to take a criminal off of the streets where they could also be a danger to others and where they could rob from other businesses or households. This way you are thus aiding the local community and in this way it can be considered humanitarian - and it will give you and those involved a sense of justice if the criminals do get a sentence which can if nothing else make you feel better. It can even help you to prevent crime against others that occurs within your premises, for example if two customers should have a fight your CCTV can help the police to ascertain the guilty party and can help you to go to their aid quickly.

- Stopping employees taking money from the till:
CCTV is not just beneficial for stopping crime perpetrated by the general public – in fact just as often it can help you to stop and recognise employees who are perhaps less honest inside your own company.

As you can see then CCTV prevents crime in a number of ways – it protects against both the general public and your own staff, and it prevents all manner of crimes. It is at once a prevention, an alarm and a solution.
