Discover how hidden video camera’s can double the effectiveness of your security system.

Like it or not, your losses from employee theft are likely to be almost double that from shoplifter’s. In fact, base on a recent study published by the by the University of Florida 47% of all retail loss is due to employee theft ……. and for businesses without a retail presence, virtually all loss is employee related.

So what should a local business owner do? I suggest getting all James Bond 007 and sneaky! You can call a local company like us to give you a free quote on a video security system which you can also record all live events – watch live from any location or follow some of these helpful tips listed below.


Some employees and customers will be determined to steal
To deal effectively with these individuals, consider adding one or two hidden cameras to your system. These cameras are built into what appear to be common items that you might find in a business setting – the may look like smoke detectors, wall clocks, electrical boxes, even sprinkler heads.

Hidden Cameras

No one but you ( and us ) will know these cameras are there

The best part about hidden cameras is they can be placed so that none of your employees will know they are there. ( After business hours installation is available)
One very successful strategy for using hidden cameras to increase the effectiveness of your security is to deliberately leave some areas of your sales floor and storage rooms uncovered by your traditional system. This gives employees and shoplifter’s the idea that get away with stealing in those parts of the store. Then you position your hidden cameras to catch the unsuspecting individuals in the act.


Time to record you

We design them to work with your system… or on their own

All of our hidden cameras are designed to easily integrate with our pre-configured systems, or with a system that you customized for your specific application. Or they can be used separately to give you backup coverage in case your regular system is somehow turned off or disabled. (We suggest UPC Battery Back-Ups for all Systems) And like traditional security cameras, hidden cameras provide high-quality video that can be turned over to the authorities for prosecution. When used effectively, these cameras have been known to help retailers put an end to thousands of dollars off additional theft and discourage remaining employees from stealing in the future.

Are hidden cameras legal? You bet your Profit’s they are!

That’s right – hidden cameras are completely legal. Of course, you must adhere to the same privacy laws that you would for traditional cameras. The general spirit of most state laws is that cameras that (both hidden and traditional style) cannot be places in areas where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. These laws can vary slightly and change over time, so we recommend that your consult your legal counsel if you have any questions or concerns on this matter.
