The Benefits of Mall Security Cameras

April 11th, 2018



In this current time and age, it would be quite unusual to come across a mall in Chico, CA that has not installed any security cameras. For many, this may appear as a small easily overlooked measure but there are indeed numerous benefits to having security cameras stalled in a mall.

1. Prevention of theft

Of course, this may as well be the most obvious reason for installing security cameras anywhere. The cameras offer some form of accountability in that if any theft were to take place, there would be something to use to attempt to track the bandits. All parts of a mall - from the retail shops to the storage facilities and even on to the delivery areas are likely to attract thieves and so proper security measures are required besides merely employing security guards.

2. Prevention of Crime

Apart from identifying a thief, using security cameras one can observe suspicious activity from a specific individual or group of people and follow up accordingly hence averting a disaster. Such action may end up preventing crime such as kidnappings, terror attacks, fights and other acts of violence in Chico, CA.

3. Assisting in Crime Investigations

Should a crime take place, then the police and investigators would expect to be given the security camera footages so as to help in solving the crime. The footage is bound to reveal any suspicious persons as well as other aspects surrounding the crime which has taken place.

4. Coordination of Security Guards

From the monitors connected to the security cameras, the head security personnel can easily keep track of his staff. This is done so as to locate the guards and dispatch them accordingly should there arise a riot or any other need for extra security in a specific location in Chico, CA.

5. Increasing Customer Safety and Comfort

We all want to feel safe and secure no matter where we may be and so if shoppers are too frequent any mall, they have to feel safe there no matter what may happen. The overall level of security in a mall is increased once security cameras are put up and even so, people tend to behave themselves when they realize their every move may be watched.

This heightened sense of security may particularly come in handy if the mall has one or more 24-hour establishments or ATMs. You wouldn't want to withdraw a wad of cash only to keep looking over your shoulder as you walk to your car, would you?

6. Monitoring Employee Activity

As previously mentioned above, people tend to be better behaved when they are aware that they may be watched. The case is no different when it comes to the employees working in a mall in Chico, CA. Security cameras will prove to be beneficial if you want to keep an eye on a certain employee who may be stealing from you or to simply watch out for those prone to exhibiting certain improper conduct while at the workplace. Cameras may also reveal just how diligent an employee is in terms of customer service and the likes.

Essentially, it really isn't possible to overlook the immense importance of having security cameras installed in any establishment more so a mall.

What Our Customers Say

"I had the Alibi system installed several years ago. It has functioned flawlessly. The image quality is exellent both night and day and in all weather conditions. I particularly like the replay (which can be set at various speeds) and zoom functions of the system. Tech support from Crimefreeliving has been excellent. I have received quick responses to questions, and timely home visits — as when I changed IP carriers and my Alibi system needed to be reset. I have recommended Crimefreeliving to several friends."

Rich

"As a small business owner here in Chico we definitely saw the need for video surveillance. After expressing our needs and concerns Tim did an excellent job getting us set up with the set up with the appropriate equipment. He really took the time to address our concerns in a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend Tim for all of your business and residential video surveillance needs."

Ron H., Owner/Auto Doctor

"I have to say I love having my security cameras at my home. Tim Truby did a wonderful job of installing the five cameras. He is very neat and cleaned everything up after the installation. He explained to me how to operate the monitor, my phone and IPad. However, I have had to call Tim because I'm not tech savvy and forget what he has told me. He usually just helps me over the phone and then all is well. I'm 80 years old and enjoy the comfort of knowing I have these security cameras."

Gloria

"Tim Truby designed and installed a 32 camera system for us here at the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. We had received several other quotes from security system vendors, but Tim’s quote was the least expensive. Tim also installed the system quickly and has always been available when we needed him. We are very happy with our security camera system and we can highly recommend Tim Truby for all of your surveillance system needs."

D. Weseman, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District

Crime Free Living updated our old video system with a new 16 Channel HD Alibi Video Security System. The old system had been added onto by different installers which resulted in a cabling mess. There were cables that worked and cables that went nowhere. It was a mess. Tim sorted it all out and installed cameras that are very clear. He also installed a monitor for our cashiers to watch hidden areas, a monitor to watch the entry door, and a monitor that allows employees to watch the outside parking and gas pump area. All work was done on time and very professional! Will always recommend Tim and Crime Free Living.

S. AM PM Chico Arco Station

"I had Tim install an Alibi Video Security System at my residence and a couple business locations. The remote view option is invaluable to absentee owners or anyone who travels a lot. The clarity and quality of the cameras have allowed for viewing employee theft. The evidence provided from the HD video cameras was fantastic! Tim was professional and provided extra value from his law enforcement background."

J. Folsom Arco Station

"Tim, I want to thank you again for doing such a fantastic job on installing a wireless IP security camera system at our dream home. The extra time that you took to hide wires, and install a clean, professional system is much appreciated. I still can’t believe the clarity, quality, and ease of use of this new system. I wished that I would have met you before our original inferior system was installed by another company. Now, whether I am at home, or monitoring the system from around the world, I know that my home and family are safe and sound."

John M.

"In April of 2017, my husband and I made a phone call to Crime Free Living that turned out to be a smart and wise decision. Amazingly, in just a few hours, Tim installed four Dome Security Cameras, weatherproof enclosures, and hooked up into our home a 23" Full HD Widescreen Security Monitor. Even more than his professional expertise was the time spent with us in making sure that this system was working correctly and properly installed on our phones so that anywhere in our travels we can monitor our new home in Magalia."

Tieka and Don S.

"I have been using Crime Free Living for the last couple years ar work and at home and I really recommend this product. Tim is a very good service provider. If he can't figure it out, he's got good tech support with the system that he offers."

Gary D.

"I have known Tim for over 10 years. To date, Time with Crime Free Living has installed two separate surveillance systems for my company. With each system, Tim has listened to my needs and custom dsigned surveillance systems for my specific needs and within my budget. The equipment used is always state of the art, the workmanship is top notch, and Tim is the example of trustworthy. I would recommend him for any job."
