How CCTV Systems Deter Crime

CCTV is both a deterrent and an evidence tool. Here’s why it works—and how to set it up correctly.

The Psychology of Deterrence

  • Visible Deterrent: Cameras in sight make criminals think twice.
  • Risk Assessment: Offenders avoid properties where they can be identified.
  • Evidence: Clear footage helps police identify and prosecute.
  • Real-time Monitoring: Immediate alerts enable quick response.

Key Areas to Monitor:

Entry Points
  • • Front and back doors
  • • Ground-floor windows
  • • Garage entrances
Perimeter
  • • Driveways and walkways
  • • Yard and garden areas
  • • Property boundaries
