The use of surveillance cameras by both large and small businesses has soared within recent times in the wake of an increase in crime, but while this may seem to be the ideal security option President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Lance Hinds believes that careful thought should go into such a move.
Stabroek News spoke to a number of businesspersons around the country and they all held firm that cameras are their best mode of protection.
Speaking to Stabroek News recently, Hinds said that there are competent companies that are providing this type of service and there have been no complaints from members of the Chamber who have installed surveillance cameras about the quality of service provided.
Asked about business people who opted to buy the cameras on their own rather than going to a local company which sells them, Hinds advised that the best business practice is to seek professional advice. “To me, if I am the owner of a business, I am looking for a security solution …it is not much what type of CCTV solution I should find. It is what kind of security solution I need for the business that I have,”
