If the potential perpetrators realize they will be caught on camera (for instance if they see a security camera somewhere on the premises) they may be less likely to commit crime against the property. In the event a crime is committed, CCTV security systems can be useful because the image of the perpetrator and sometimes footage of the crime itself will be available on camera.

Business or home owners who have a CCTV security system installed can often save money on insurance. CCTV security systems are also helpful because the footage they gather is stored in a digital format, which can then be viewed easily on a computer.

One thing you will have to consider when installing a CCTV security system is the cost. Many things will factor into the overall cost, and there are many decisions the potential consumer will have to make. If you want to use an IP (network) system, this will be more expensive than an analog system. The number of cameras you want to use will affect the price. The more cameras used in your system, the more expensive the system will be. If you want or need to back up your footage, you will need to take that into consideration because you will need to pay for discs or USB drives on which to save your footage.
