Premier Security Camera Installation in Seattle WA | Focus Security Group
Businesses in the Seattle, Washington region need security cameras to protect the assets that make continued prosperity possible. The civil unrest of 2020 shows how quickly unforeseeable events can destroy vital capital, leaving a business struggling to survive.
​
Security cameras, both covert and overt, play their parts in keeping businesses safe from burglaries, thefts, vandalism, and arson. A security solution such as video surveillance equipped with a motion detector and automation can create legal records of events and provide employees and visitors with assurance that they are in a safe place.
The Benefits of Commercial Security Cameras
Focus Security Group provides security camera installation in Seattle WA, for all commercial surveillance systems from top-rated manufacturers. These systems are designed for large coverage areas and provide specific benefits:
Evidence Against Wrongdoers
Law enforcement bases many cases on security camera footage. Whether a property crime or violent crime occurs on your premises, you will have a record of the event.
Crime Deterrence
Security cameras, security systems, and alarm systems are great crime deterrents. Having a robust business security system and alarm system can protect your business against crime, and reduce liability and accidents on the premises. Video Surveillance systems and security cameras can be paired with a smoke detector, control panel, motion sensor, and other important security equipment. Some of your security cameras should be highly visible to deter crime, and should contain automation software to alert the authorities quickly. Vandalism-proof cameras ensure against attempts to disable surveillance.
Rapid Response
Focus Security Group offers cameras that link directly to a central station that provides 24/7 monitoring. Advanced camera options detect motion, heat, and other indicators of an emergency. When trouble arises, the central station contacts emergency services for an immediate response.
Legal Records
Businesses face many types of liability. When litigation ensues, security cameras provide compelling evidence. For example, if a complainant files a slip and fall lawsuit or worker’s comp claim against the company, security footage may assist in the defense. A robust security system along with high quality security cameras can protect your business from many types of incidents.
Dispute Resolution
Often, companies must resolve complaints and disputes. Security footage often helps management make the right decisions.
Employee Supervision
As much as companies like to think their employees always behave responsibly, many misconduct incidents, such as sexual harassment and employee theft, tell a different story. When employee misconduct occurs, security footage proves invaluable in discovering and resolving the matter.

Intrusion Detection
Intrusion detection systems sense movement inside the building when there should be none, triggering either silent or sound alarms, central station live camera viewing, and an emergency services response.
Access Control
Though standalone access control systems are available for companies on a budget with low-security needs, they work best when paired with security cameras and alarms. Security cameras record all activity occurring at the access control point while documenting any breaches and unauthorized activity.
