Churches may be desirable places for burglaries because they are often quiet and isolated from general traffic. There may also be a lot of valuables and expensive equipment in your church. Production departments often have expensive equipment. For these reasons, every church needs to protect their church with security cameras.<\/p>\n
Not only are burglaries an issue with churches, but other personal crimes which seemingly should not happen in churches, do, in fact, take place at churches. These include rape, sexual assault, fondling and child molesting.<\/p>\n
The best and most effective way to prevent crime and secure your church is to install security cameras to deter crimes and protect your congregation.<\/p>\n
There are many locations at every church where crimes could potentially take place. These areas need protection. Securing large churches can require many security cameras. Some churches prefer to protect all areas during the initial installation. Other churches select one primary area at a time and add cameras in phases.<\/p>\n
The important thing is to take action and start a plan to secure your church one step at a time.<\/p>\n
Entry and exit doors are the main place where people flow in and out of a church. All entrances should have security cameras to protect them. Not only do security cameras protect your congregation, but security cameras can record any illegal activity coming into a church.<\/p>\n
Many churches have many winding, hidden, secluded hallways. These secluded locations become easy targets for crimes. It is important to make sure all hallways are protected, especially if there are multiple rooms or classrooms nearby.<\/p>\n
Surprisingly, theft occurs among church staff. Church staff may be tempted to take what does not belong to them. Trusting staff may leave valuables at their desk or work area. Sometimes purses are left accessible. These unexpected situations are easy to deter.<\/p>\n
While it may not be possible to place security cameras inside a bathroom, it is important to place cameras at restroom entrances. This deters crimes from taking place in private locations.<\/p>\n
Many churches have separate youth buildings for their youth groups. Whether your youth group meets in a separate building or an adjacent room, youth need to be protected. Security cameras not only protect the youth, but also provide valuable recording evidence if there is ever a disputed situation.<\/p>\n
