As we approach Christmas nearly everyone seems to be in a better-than-normal mood (weather permitting) which can lead us all to lower our defences when it comes to security, especially those involved within the retail market. Shop assistants who are normally very vigilant, tend to become more chatty with customers, and it is in these split seconds when your guard is down, a good thief can rip you off for hundreds of pounds.

It was recently reported that small business will spend more on their water coolers than on security for their properties (thirsty work running after shop thieves). With Christmas just around the corner the retail segment is heading into its busiest patch of the year. Thieves will be targetting businesses with none or very little security. Once a business has been singled out as ‘an easy touch’ it’s not long till word spreads. Shoplifters from near and far will start taking advantage and money that should be going into your pocket will be literally walking out your front door.

In today’s ‘hard economical’ climate many businesses simply have not got the money to have expensive security systems fitted, one way round this is to ‘fool’ people into thinking you have state of the art cameras fitted.

The Chaperone® Internal Dummy Camera with Mains Powered Pan Motor is one of the best look-a-like cameras on the market and at a fraction of the cost of a proper security camera installation – this dummy camera will save your company thousands of pounds.
