Apartment Buildings Security Surveillance System

Apartment buildings often become the scene for a number of crimes for many reasons. One way to protect your business and your tenants is to have properly installed quality security cameras in, and around your building. As a start, installing cameras in and around your apartment building serves a number of purposes. You can prevent theft and vandalism; often times a would-be criminal sees a camera and thinks twice about committing a crime. Surveillance cameras at various entrances and in hallways may prevent or detect intruders or even violence or other criminal acts committed by your own residents. And if you used IP security cameras which have the remote access feature which gives you the ability to access your camera footage from almost anywhere. Either you are at home or at your office, you can get online, log in, and instantly see what your cameras are seeing, making it easy to check in on your building.

 

 

 

However, before setting up your security camera system, you will need to consider few things. For example, what kind of security is already in place? If you can’t afford to outfit your entire building with cameras, and you have a guard at a certain door, maybe you can skip that door and mount your cameras at other entrances. If you have problems with certain areas, maybe a stairwell or a particular hallway, you will need to consider putting cameras in those areas first. Other things you’ll need to consider are the layout of your building, where your tenants park, and how many buildings make up your complex.

 

To answer the previous questions, look at these tips so you can know where exactly to install your security cameras:
1. Place cameras in areas like parking garages, common areas, mail and laundry rooms, and other places where people often go outside of their individual apartment.

2. Place cameras in administrative areas, especially in those where rent may be paid. You never know when something could go wrong.

3. Place cameras at entrances, so when the wrong person enters your building, you have a good look at them and pictures for the police and media.
