CCTV Video Surveillance
A Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system from Sievers Security is a valuable tool for the safety of your employees, and your bottom line. CCTV has been shown to act as a powerful deterrent to crime against employees as well as shrinkage from both inside and outside your organization.

Here are a few of the many ways video surveillance can be used in your business:

• Deter violence against employees during open hours and vandalism and theft after hours
• Monitor the factory floor for unsafe practices and work performance
• Verify transaction at cash registers
• Deter (or verify) shoplifting
• Deter (or verify) stock room theft

System Components and Capabilities
Advances in technology have made commercial surveillance easy and affordable. Wireless cameras allow for easy installation and send a signal to a receiver up to 300 feet away. Standard receiver units include 4, 8, and 16 camera inputs. You can stack these units and view all video images at once, view selected images, or view only one at a time.You can also view your premises online over the Internet or through your cell phone for maximum convenience and safety.

The type of cameras you choose depends directly on your reason for surveillance. For deterrence, you'll want overt (visible) cameras to scare away would-be criminals. However, to covertly (secretly) monitor activity in your business, you'll want hidden cameras.

Overt or Visible Cameras Sievers Security offers a wide range of standard, recognizable video cameras for every area of your business. Whether indoor or outdoor, day or night, we have cameras to meet your every need. And because these cameras can be mounted prominently throughout the interior and exterior of your business, they are an excellent deterrent to crime. A surveillance system from Sievers Security will deliver clear images of many areas of your business including: checkouts and registers access doors sales floors high value items rear or remote doors interior and exterior stock areas warehouses parking lots and gates time clocks process areas production lines individual machines

Covert or Hidden Cameras
Covert cameras are smaller than a dime and can be hidden in everyday objects such as exit signs, clocks, smoke detectors, and ceiling sprinklers. These systems are most frequently used to monitor the activities of one or more cashiers. A hidden surveillance system from Sievers Security will provide the assurance you need that employees are recording all transactions properly.

Access to recorded images and storage capacity are critical in commercial installations. You can review previously recorded video at the same time a current video is being recorded. Standard storage capacity of 150 days can be extended to over 1,000 days.

Today's cameras can be programmed to deliver the images you want, when and where you want them. Many camera domes have built in units that pan, tilt, zoom, and focus via PC software. From any PC anywhere in the world you can aim any one of your cameras and zoom in to view a specific location. The dome units can be programmed for tour duty, meaning they will automatically pan, tilt and stop for a pre-determined time, zoom in and record, then move to view another pre-programmed site. An example is a camera to view the back door and zoom in for 1 minute then go to a overhead door then to a gate.

Motion detection is another feature that can significantly reduce recording time and storage space. Simply stated, cameras equipped with motion sensors only record when motion is detected. After a short delay in activity, recording is suspended until activity is once again detected.
