One of the biggest benefits of having a video security system is to deter crimes. In 2013, UNC Charlotte conducted a survey on 422 convicted burglars to understand their decision-making to burglarize. The research found the presence of increased security, such as security cameras, played a significant role to discourage them from attempting a burglary.
Security cameras, when strategically placed, can be more than catching theft or deterring a burglary.
