CCTV is used by many organisations in many sectors, from experience we have collated a list of typical use cases by organisation.
- Bars, Clubs and Pubs - To monitor customers and staff in and out of the premises.
- Building sites - To protect the building site, machinery and tools.
- Care homes - Monitor elderly residents and care staff.
- Colleges and Schools - Monitor staff and students, detect and deter unwanted visitors and intruders. We work closely with colleges and schools to protect buildings, students and staff against intrusion. Remotely monitoring hallways and entrances can help protect staff and prevent bullying.
