Ideas For Businesses: Outdoor Security Camera Systems For Increased Safety

By Mark Mahaffey


Do you manage a pharmacy with a drive-through? If so, you are likely eager to improve the level of security you currently have. A pharmacy is a place that lots of crooks would like to burglarize, for the simple reason that there are so many medicines contained there. And these medicines are those that hold so many in the clutches of addiction.

Because these substances are controlled and regulated so strongly, it is relatively hard to get them, so people have to resort to violence and burglary. It would be very easy for a crook to drive up to a pharmacy window, pull out a gun and demand medications.

However, you can reduce the likelihood of this happening simply by hanging video cameras at each window of the drive-through. And in order to be a good conservationist, you can choose to buy cameras which come with motion detectors on them. They will only turn on when there is activity around them, and this conserves electricity.

Does the cost of purchasing several outdoor security cameras seem too much for your current budget? If so, you can buy some dummy cameras. These look like the real thing, but are only meant to fool customers into thinking they are real.

Often people will engage in less criminal activity if they think that a video camera is recording their actions. If you do not have a large budget for security, you can put in a few real cameras, and also put up a few dummy cameras. This will allow you to actually be able to monitor some areas, but for the areas that are less important to watch, you can just use dummies.

The important thing to remember is that you fake cameras need to be very visible to customers. This ensures that you use them to their fullest advantage. Install them so that they are very noticeable to everyone who drives up to the pharmacy window.
