How can /could we maximize CCTV cameras usage?

How could we maximize the efficiency of duties of security officers every moment of the day?

Evidently, private firms are the best users of cctv cameras given that they deploy staff solely dedicated to minute by minute, or moment by moment monitoring of cctv cameras in dedicated spaces.

In some firms, cctv camera terminals end up in screens installed in some senior management staff offices with the spaces serving as monitor offices.

.. The managers monitor the screens as they go about performing other light tasks well aware that monitoring the screens is one of their core and crucial everyday duty.

… The managers can even monitor entry and exit of all people into the premises and can raise alarm immediately they notice any odd movements or moments.

Essentially, this is the real purpose and value of cctv cameras.

And with increasing insecurity including in schools & colleges among other high security areas, the 24- hrs monitoring of cctv cameras should be immediately considered and adopted.

Dedicated security officers (or watchmen in common lingua) ought to be deployed to pay close attention to the camera monitors so that they can notice any security threats including breaking in or intrusion of any kind or even the starting of fires from arson or electric faults in real time so that remedial measures can be taken up immediately.

Security officers may also need to be more professional and dedicated to ensure close, keen & dedicated moment by moment supervision of the premises they guard.

Consequently, such guarding will enable the guards to take action immediately they notice unusual movements or realize there is danger this ensuring real time response.

The deployment of other security devices including heat or drastic temperature changes sensors or smoke sensors may enhance  faster responses from those concerned.

Without doubt, CCTV cameras footage reviews help with investigations after crimes are committed or after reported occurences as the cases may be.

Yet fuller use of this technology through real time, continuous monitoring may make more sense in high security situations such as in hospitals and schools or even prisons or police cells where danger lurks every passing moment. .
