Installing surveillance cameras in the workplace isn’t just about catching wrongdoing—it’s about creating a safer, more transparent, and accountable environment for everyone. But before jumping into installation, business owners should take a few important steps.

Start by creating a clearly defined monitoring policy that complies with local and state laws. This policy should be included in your employee handbook so that staff, managers, and leadership all understand when, where, and why surveillance is being used. Once that’s in place, you’re ready to install cameras—or partner with professionals like CPSS to help design and deploy your system the right way.

Here’s why this investment pays off:

Surveillance Cameras Help Weed Out Bad Seeds

Employee theft costs U.S. businesses nearly $50 billion annually. Cameras positioned over cash registers, entrances, exits, and supply areas not only act as a visual deterrent, they also provide indisputable evidence when theft or misconduct occurs.

For an even stronger deterrent, CPSS offers cutting-edge AI Deterrence, which uses smart analytics to identify suspicious behavior in real time and trigger automated warnings—before a crime even happens.

Employees Feel Safer When Cameras Are Present

Surveillance isn’t just about catching the bad guys—it’s about protecting your team. Whether it’s a late-night employee walking through a dark parking lot or someone working alone in a quiet back office, visible cameras send a powerful message: you’re not alone.

Pair your system with AI-Powered Monitoring that can instantly alert security teams to unusual activity, ensuring someone is always watching—even when no one’s on site.

When your employees know their well-being is a priority, it builds a stronger workplace culture rooted in safety and trust.

Avoid False Injury Claims and Frivolous Lawsuits

Not all workplace claims are legitimate—and without evidence, even a false injury report can lead to costly settlements. With surveillance footage, you gain an accurate record of what happened, helping your legal team disprove false claims or validate real ones quickly and confidently.

It’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce liability and protect your business from fraudulent losses.

Add a Layer of Protection with Access Control

Surveillance covers what happens—but Access Control helps determine who is allowed where and when. Integrating access control with your camera system gives you complete control over your facility’s security.

With access control, you can:

• Restrict entry to sensitive areas
• Monitor comings and goings in real time
• Prevent unauthorized access to inventory, records, and assets
• Instantly revoke access for former employees or contractors

No more lost keys. No more guesswork. Just a smarter, more secure building.

Don’t Wait to Secure Your Business

A great security system is proactive, not reactive. It deters crime, protects your people, reduces liability, and gives you real-time insight into your workplace—without adding stress to your day.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade an outdated setup or design a brand-new system, CPSS offers the expertise, technology, and support to protect what matters most.
