Liquor Store Security Cameras
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Liquor store security cameras are a smart choice for business owners – as, unfortunately, liquor stores are often seen as "easy targets" for criminals and vandals. Loss prevention in liquor stores is vital to protecting a store's assets, and liquor store video surveillance systems play a major part in that loss prevention.

Risks Associated with Liquor Store Security Cameras |
|
| |
While the benefits far outweigh the risks when it comes to liquor store video surveillance systems, there are
certainly some risks that need to be taken into account prior to setting up such a system.
- Tampering and theft. Surveillance cameras are valuable, and may become part of a robbery target.
More than liquor and cash can be lost during such a crime. It's a good idea to have the cameras set up in such a way that they cannot be grabbed or painted over to avoid damage and to get the recording you need in the event of a crime.
- Privacy laws. Some privacy issues apply to employees and to the general public. Ensure that only
public areas are covered with surveillance to protect privacy liability. Of course, this also means there will be "blind spots" for criminal activity. Make sure the public areas are fully covered to protect both assets and personnel.
- Power surges and outages. Damage to liquor store security cameras can be done during power outages and surges - causing gaps in recording or further damage.

Benefits Associated with Liquor Store Security Cameras |
|
| |
Despite the potential issues that can arise, as listed above (remember, nothing is 100% fail-safe!), liquor store security cameras give an abundance of benefits to store owners.
- Ease of use and installation: the new liquor store security cameras install quickly and easily, and are
simple to reconfigure should the size or layout of the store change.
- Loss prevention. Theft and vandalism are two of the biggest problems liquor stores encounter, and it costs dearly. Not only do cameras help to discourage would-be criminals and vandals, but they also help clearly identify perpetrators who decide to cause trouble.
- Safety benefits. People who abuse alcohol can become belligerent and take out their frustrations on
employees. A camera increases employee safety and can help identify perpetrators.
- Chain stores are safer with the addition of networking. Network Video Recorders can be set up for several surveillance cameras, and offer remote viewing. This makes it easier for you to check on your chain stores all at once.

Considerations for Liquor Store Security Cameras |
|
| |
Finally, there are six major considerations when setting up liquor store security cameras:
- What are your biggest security threats? How will a surveillance system help with these threats? Will
they boost up what is already in place, or replace them entirely?
- What is the neighborhood like where your store is, or stores are? What is the criminal element in the
area (vandals, robberies, etc.)? How do other stores in your neighborhood fare with crime?
- Who are your most frequent customers (college students, elderly people, etc.)? Have alcohol abusers
caused problems in your store?
- How many customers do you serve, and how big is your store?
- How many employees do you have, and what is your turnover rate?
- What are the local regulations concerning security for your store, and have you had trouble with selling to minors in the past?
These considerations can help you decide where and how you should set up your liquor store surveillance cameras. Know your risks, laws, and benefits, and choose carefully – it can save your business.
