CCTV is an integral part of business security and provides a range of benefits. It allows you to monitor your premises and keep track of any suspicious activity. The local council in Springvale, Noble Park and Dandenong operates a Safe City public space CCTV Installation system which aims to improve community safety in and around the suburbs.
Protect Your Property
Whether you’re a residential property owner or run a business, CCTV can help protect your assets. It can also deter criminal activity in the first place, especially if people know cameras are present. CCTV can be installed near letterboxes, car parks, rubbish dumping areas, and retail sales floors to deter theft.
CCTV can also be used to monitor and manage disasters, such as fire or flood. It can be a vital tool in emergency management to assess issues in real time and decide on the best ways to handle them.
Many businesses and residences have already begun using CCTV cameras. In Victoria, mum-of-two Alli Galliott’s CCTV system has captured cockatoos gnawing and nibbling timber in her backyard – structural beams, wooden play equipment, and anything they can get their beaks on. She estimates the cockies have caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to her family’s home. The footage from her CCTV system has been crucial in identifying the culprits.
Reduce Loss Costs
CCTV can save businesses a significant amount of money both by deterring crimes and helping police to solve them. A well-designed CCTV system can cover all areas of a property without any blind spots, and remote online access and recordings document events to help investigators uncover evidence quickly.
For business owners, CCTV also helps to reduce the cost of insurance. Many business insurance providers will offer cheaper rates for businesses that have quality CCTV systems, as it shows that they take proactive measures to prevent and resolve liability claims.
CCTV can also assist with other types of workplace misconduct, including fraud, sexual harassment, and workplace bullying. It can also help to reduce staff turnover and improve company culture, by making it a safer and more pleasant place to work.

Detect Unauthorised Intruders
Traditional CCTV systems rely on someone constantly monitoring footage to alert security companies and property owners of a breach or intrusion. This can be expensive and open to human error. Surion (pronounced Sure-ion) installs the latest AI-powered technologies to upgrade legacy CCTV equipment, CCTV company dandenong provides the best security systems in Australia, making it smarter and keeping you and your property safer. If unauthorised activity is detected on site CCTV cameras will detect the event and send live footage to a remote monitoring station. The operator will work to identify the cause and, if necessary, escort any suspicious persons off the site or notify key holders and police of the incident. An audio warning announcement will be heard at the site and this will deter most criminals from attempting to gain access to your commercial premises. In this case, the intruders were escorted off the site by security operators before they could cause damage or enter the building. This process is carried out in line with the site’s agreed response plan.
Stay Informed
CCTV systems provide businesses with a live feed of their premises so that they can keep an eye on what’s happening. This can help to make informed business decisions and create safer working environments for their staff members. CCTV systems can also be used to monitor customer activity in shops and retail outlets, ensuring that they get the best service and are kept safe while shopping.
Council’s Safe City Public Space CCTV system has been funded by Council since 2009. The public space network has grown to over 270 cameras and operates under a Council-endorsed Public Space CCTV Policy and strict Code of Practice and Protocols.
