Loss of assets and time due to theft is a growing cancer
on our society that eats away at the profits of every
organization or business, be it government, retail, service,
or manufacturing. The size of the organization makes no
difference to the thief. The larger the organization, the
more the theft occurs and the greater the opportunity for
losses. The more valuable the product, the greater the
temptation for a thief to steal it. A properly designed and
applied video system can be an extremely profitable investment
for an institution to cut losses. The prime objective
of the video system should not be the apprehension of
thieves but rather the deterrence of crime through security.
A successful thief needs privacy—a video system can
deny that privacy.
