A CCTV Solutions and Installation Helps Reduce Lawsuits

In an imperfect world, nuisance lawsuits are a fact of life. Some nuisance lawsuits have been won on the fact that “Caution Coffee May Be Hot” was not printed on the takeout coffee cup. Everyone knows that coffee should be hot but since it was not printed on the cup the lawsuit was won. Businesses are subject to nuisance lawsuits every day. One method of reducing the number of successful nuisance lawsuits is to have a CCTV installation at each store.

The and Installation in and around the store provide the store owners the ability to defend against unwarranted lawsuits. Recording the store and its surrounding environs provide documentation of the actions in the areas of view of the cameras. These recordings are invaluable to the attorneys for the owners of the store.

When images from the cameras located in and around the store are recorded the time and date that the image was recorded is inserted onto the video. This image when combined with an accurate time and date provides incontrovertible evidence that a person who has initiated a nuisance lawsuit was either not there or not injured at the store.

Some nuisance lawsuits involve the actions of a clerk and a customer. Should a person claim that a clerk harassed, accosted or otherwise injured a customer, the and Installation will show the actions of both the clerk and the customer. Should the video show no acts that could be deemed improper to the customer, the simple presentation of the video to the customers’ attorney should remediate the matter quickly.

When evaluating a potential CCTV installation in a store, the cost of the system often comes into play. The cost of the system however will provide a healthy return on investment through reduced shoplifting, the ability to monitor employees during the work day and the potential savings of defending against a nuisance lawsuit. Nuisance lawsuit awards often range into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The ability of a CCTV installation to avoid that judgment makes is a worthwhile investment for the business owner.
