OnGuard Camera Systems: A Different Approach to Security Cameras in Small Businesses

Why Choose OnGuard Camera Systems for Your Small Business

There are a lot of security camera companies out there that will sell you a security camera system without really understanding why you want one in the first place. At OnGuard we do a few things differently:

We take the time to understand why

It sounds obvious, but sometimes it’s not. Most businesses acknowledge that they need one or more forms of security; and security cameras are the first place to start. We’ve found that many small businesses are seeing other uses for security cameras – it’s our job to seek to understand those needs and facilitate them.

We stay in our lane

We offer an array of approaches to security camera installations and the right equipment for each approach, but when a customer has a request for something that is not one of our strengths, like any good professional, we refer them to another trusted security camera company that’s better positioned to suit their needs.

We provide options rather than just focus on the sale

Safety, high quality, and excellent service are not just a hallmark of a great security camera company, they should be the minimum expectation. Laying out effective options and realistic expectations is the easiest way to a satisfied customer.

Track and Empower Employees. Cameras don’t have to be considered “Big Brother” by employees. Businesses are now using them as coaching opportunities to recognize employees taking initiative, coming in early and staying late, and following the right protocols.

Keep up with multiple business locations. Because none of us can be in two places at once, well placed security cameras are the next best thing to being there. Now a single app can keep multiple businesses and even home security cameras in one place.

Liability Reasons. Security cameras are one more tool that can help businesses show they did, and do, things the right way. Unfortunately, businesses are too often targets for false accusations and claims. Security cameras help dissuade would-be perpetrators and provide video as proof of how things really happened.

Gather Evidence. Using security cameras to show indisputable evidence after a crime takes place is the main reason most people and businesses want security cameras. The first thing law enforcement officers ask when they show up to the scene of a crime is “do you have security cameras?”. Studies have shown, and prosecutors will tell you, that having video evidence can make or break a case. Smoking guns are hard to find, but security cameras are readily available and can often tell the whole story.

So What Else are Savvy Small Businesses Using Security Cameras for?

With so much happening in today’s world, security cameras are viewed as a necessary tool in small businesses. Some of the other ways security cameras are being used in small businesses are:

Better Business Efficiency. Monitor assets and merchandise flow. Having security cameras around a business enables managers and owners to know what’s going on when they are not present. Security Cameras provide both real-time assessments of inventory levels and comparisons of levels over a thirty-day window. This provides a better understanding of how merchandise and assets are being used.
