If you’re considering self-installing your own surveillance system, there are many reasons to reevaluate. Important drawbacks to consider include:
In light of the recent attack in Boston, video surveillance has risen to the forefront of national attention. Video footage obtained from local retailers enabled the FBI to identify, publicize, and swiftly apprehend the attackers.
“Organized Crime” isn’t just for mobsters anymore. Prearranged pranks and assaults are an increasing threat to both the restaurant and retail industries. Often referred to as “Flash Mobs” (not the dancing kind) or “Wilding,” this type of disturbance predominately consists of groups of unsupervised teenagers that surprise attack individuals or businesses.
