Video surveillance as a supplement to the alarm system

Video surveillance stands for more security in your home and has many advantages. This allows you to quickly locate threats and reliably protect your home. Often it is not directly related to the material damage that a burglar inflicts, but rather with the violation of one’s own privacy and the lost feeling of security in one’s own home.

It is therefore essential to find a solution to protect against it. A good way to keep burglars away from your property is to buy an alarm system or a video surveillance system. The alarm system can be optimally combined with a video surveillance system. Thus, you can benefit from a combination of both security measures to counter theft and optimize on-site operations.

Video surveillance for house and apartment: a safe feeling

Burglary belongs to the most common crimes in Switzerland. Especially in the dark season, burglars break into apartments, houses and business premises in order to steal valuable items. Because they don't want to be caught in the act, many don't take any chances. The greater the risk, the less likely it is that a burglary attempt will be made.
According to the Swiss police crime statistics (PCS) burglars strike an average of 107 times every day. That means about one every 14 minutes. Almost every theft is linked to a burglary and the number of burglaries per day continues to rise.
For this reason, the combination of an alarm system with a video surveillance system the ideal solution. Both security measures are often apparent to the burglar in advance and can thus prevent a break-in.

Alarm systems usually consist of many different alarm sensors. Depending on the type of sensor, they trigger an alarm tone in the event of glass breakage, movement, vibration or when a window or door is opened.

This alarm signal is often sufficient to make thieves flee. At the same time, the alarm can be forwarded to help services. If necessary, emergency forces are quickly on site, which increases the probability of picking up the burglar in the vicinity.

Video surveillance: Your home always in view

Videoüberwachung stellt eine optimale Ergänzung für eine Alarmanlage dar. Eine gut sichtbare Kamera kann ausreichen, damit der Einbrecher von Ihrem Haus oder Ihrer Wohnung absieht. Das ist jedoch nicht der einzige Vorteil von Videoüberwachung im privaten Bereich.

In addition, thanks to a camera, you always have your home in view. Modern systems make it possible to access the camera even while on the move. In this way, you can regularly check that everything is right - and then concentrate on other things with peace of mind.

A big advantage of surveillance with cameras becomes obvious even if there has been a burglary. Many burglaries are not cleared up, because without witnesses there is hardly any evidence for the identity of the perpetrator or perpetrators. This is often different with video surveillance. By filming the burglar, you make it easier for the police to find the perpetrator.

Video surveillance in your company: Protection against theft

Video surveillance in your company: Protection against theft

Video surveillance is not only a sensible measure to protect your home. Companies also often rely on surveillance cameras to increase security and deter thieves. The various tools for video surveillance make it easier to monitor your property from a central location. Activities are noticed by the corresponding recordings from your camera. You, your team or security forces can intervene immediately and prevent theft.

Applications that ensure the recognition of faces and license plates with high quality cameras play an important role in today’s modern land surveillance. This facilitates reconnaissance after a burglary or theft.

Video surveillance in your company is not only suitable for security reasons. If you work in retail, you can use cameras to follow the situation in the store in real time – from the office or on the road.

With video surveillance, you can keep an eye on the entrance area of your store or the cash registers. Warehouses, offices and car parks are possible areas of your business where security cameras can be used sensibly.

Data protection: Observe legal principles

Data protection: Observe legal principles

If you want to install video surveillance around your home or business, it must be done in accordance with data protection regulations. By taking pictures of people who are identifiable, you are processing personal data.

Depending on your individual situation, you may have to follow certain rules. For example, the video surveillance recording area must be limited to your property. You are not allowed to film public spaces or adjoining properties. In addition, surveillance by camera must be proportionate and appropriate. As the operator of the camera, you are responsible for handling the recordings in accordance with the law.

Video recordings must be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed. In most cases, a period of XNUMX hours is assumed if damage to property or personal injury can be detected within XNUMX hours. However, if this is not the case and there are important reasons for a longer storage period, there is the possibility of an extension based on the principles of data protection. In addition, you must clearly draw attention to your video surveillance. Anyone entering your property must be aware that they can be filmed. You may not publish the recordings without the consent of the filmed persons.

If you commission Telsec ESS Schweiz AG with the installation of surveillance cameras or other security solutions, you can be sure that the legal regulations will be observed.
