When it comes to keeping a watchful eye on hospitality buildings, security cameras are important in maintaining the safety of guests and employees.

Those who manage facilities in the hospitality industry know how important it is to have proper security. Even with members of a security team, no one can be every place at once so security cameras help put “eyes” where others may not be.  There are many advantages to having security cameras installed at your facility and when you notice the key benefits, you can't help but think of how CMMS Systems (Computerized Maintenance Management Software) have similar goals than CCTV Systems (Closed Circuit Televistion).

 

Guest Security

One way to see a return on your investment in security cameras is with your guests' sense of safety. This is an excellent selling point because guests are more likely to stay at a hotel, motel, or condominium if there is security provided. It allows you to see specific areas such as darker hallways and areas like the parking lot or common areas that security personnel can't always be.


Employee Safety

Employees will also feel and be much safer with the use of security cameras. It helps them feel more at ease walking to where they are parked or in areas away from the main gathering area.


Ease of Use

Security cameras come in a variety of setups. Many even have remote viewing capabilities which allow users to access the camera even when they cannot be there. This allows them to send someone on duty to the area if someone has been compromised or there are issues that need addressing. It also allows you to give better data to the authorities if a crime has been committed.


Deter Theft and Unwanted Guests

Security cameras ensure that your staff remains more honest because they will know that they are being watched or something they do that is unsavory will be caught on tape. Another issue in the hospitality industry is unwanted guests. Whether it's non-guests sneaking in to use the pool or people using the parking lot that is designated for guests, security cameras allow you to see those people who may not belong on the property.
