Editor Introduction
Security systems are often seen as an investment, but usually not one that pays dividends. However, newer technologies are enabling end users to extend their efforts to cost-justify a security system beyond the mirage of “measuring what didn’t happen.” Nowadays, security systems provide quantifiable benefits that yield a return on customers’ investments. We asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: How can security systems maximize return on investment (ROI)?

Security systems can maximize return on investment when the camera system owner can be sure they will have the evidence they expect to have if a security incident occurs. This includes selecting the right partner to understand your location’s specific needs so they can select the right security cameras. It also includes creating a plan to monitor that the camera system is actually working; that all the cameras, NVRs, and servers are “live” on the network, recording, and that the view from each camera is clear and free of obstructions and that none of the views are tilted. A program like this offers peace of mind that the camera system is working and the evidence will be there when it is needed.
