Covert cameras aid in combating crime

November 2002 Surveillance

With CCTV becoming increasingly affordable, even to the smaller operator, more and more employers are turning to this means of protecting their goods and property. Furthermore, according to Sesco Security, the widespread use of covert cameras in retail stores, factories, warehouses, hotels, etc, is now commonplace, reducing both employee and customer theft. As a result, the company supplies a range of covert cameras to suit most of the needs within the industry.
