Cruise Line Security Keeps Passengers Safe

June 17th, 2022



There are many businesses in Chico, CA that use security cameras to protect their investments. Though cruise ships are not often the first business that one thinks of when it comes to security, they have a unique need for protection. The fact that they contain restaurants, shops, entertainment, and sleeping quarters makes them almost like a small floating village. Keeping an eye on everything that happens is essential to providing everyone on board with a safe and secure journey. This is why a security camera system can be so important to good business. 

4 Benefits Of A Security Camera System 

  • They help prevent crime. Security cameras help deter crime. When a criminal knows they are being watched, they are less likely to engage in malevolent activity. In cases where crimes have been committed, cruise ships with security cameras in place were able to capture the crime in action. This helped law enforcement officials solve the crimes.
  • They capture evidence. When an event takes place, such as a crime or an injury, security cameras capture the event. This can be monumental in providing evidence when a lawsuit occurs.
  • They can help fight terroristic acts. Cruise ships can go a long way from Chico, CA. When they float out into international waters, they can be accessed by anyone from any country. This makes them an easy target for terrorism. Security cameras can monitor the potential for danger.
  • They monitor staff. There is always the potential that an employee can do something they’re not supposed to do. When an area that is so large, and so many people are on board, you can’t always watch over every employee. Security cameras allow you to view everything that happens on the ship from one central location.

Ready For Protection

Are these benefits enough to convince you of the importance of a cruise ship surveillance system? If so, you’ll need to keep a few things in mind. For example, if your security guards already monitor specific areas of the ship, installing a security camera in these areas would be redundant. Concentrate on areas that are not already monitored. In addition, remember these important tips. 

4 Important Things To Consider  

  • Any area where money exchanges hands needs surveillance. Keep an eye on casino and gambling areas, cocktail bars, and dining rooms.
  • Is there a specific area on the cruise ship that is more prevalent for accidents and injuries? Think about places like the slippery pool deck or stairwells.
  • If there are areas on your ship where cameras could easily be tampered with or vandalized, install them high out of reach. You could also consider tamper-proof models.
  • Respect the privacy of your passengers. Never put cameras in bathrooms, bedrooms, locker rooms, or other areas where privacy is important.

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."
