3. Reduces crimes....The presence of
CCTV camera system reduces
crimes . the memories of Mumbai
attacks still persists, CCTV
Cameras exposed the entry of
terrorists to Mumbai railway
station, all news and channels
showed footage collected from
CCTV camera that how those 10
terrorists trickily entered in our
territory .
5. If a video monitoring system is installed in a hotel
there has to be a determination how it is to be utilized.
If the facility is not large enough to support a full time
security employee to conduct live, real time viewing of
what the cameras are pointed at, the security value
decreases. There are benefits of having a system that
records certain areas of a faculty 24/7 regardless if it
is not constantly manned. There are criminology
studies that demonstrate that the mere placement of
an obvious video camera in a visible location can
have a deterrent effect on certain criminals. It has no
effect on a criminal who cannot be deterred or who
simply knows that wearing a ball-cap low over the
forehead will prevent identification and therefore
possible criminal prosecution. There are also studies
that demonstrate that it does not have a deterrent
effect on criminals at all.
7. In many newly constructed properties
CCTV systems include camera
placements in hotel elevators and in guest
corridors. If used properly these camera
views can be helpful in several ways. The
guest is also very aware of these cameras
and their response will vary from pleased
that there appears to be good security to
wondering why a hotel needs to see when
I leave my room and return?
9. Asset protection: Monitoring the front desk and
lobby.....Regardless if the lobby is locked down during dark
hours or it is a 24/7 access, the lobby, front desk, recreation
areas, indoor pools and spas are quickly becoming areas
where hotels install cameras. The benefits of reviewing
activity that has occurred in these areas can not only improve
security, it can also improve operational efficiency if utilized
correctly.
It often isn’t recognized that internal theft and fraud can and
does occur at the front desk. An example would be when
front desk clerks have sold rooms and not entered them into
the system, allowing the clerk to pocket the cash. In some
instances clerks work with local prostitutes by providing them
a place to go for a percentage of the profits in return for
anonymity. And of course in today’s world of terrorism the
ability to see who checked in under a certain name or who
left a bag unattended in the hotel lobby can be critical and at
times needed quickly.
11. Installing and utilizing cameras in these
areas can assist in the detection of
internal crime and help provide guest
protection. It is rapidly becoming a best
practice in all environments
