In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the market for video surveillance cameras has boomed, not only in the U.S. but around the world.
There haven't been any more major terrorist attacks in the U.S., but there are an estimated 30 million more security cameras than before the attack. Some suggest this was truly the first time that businesses realized they were vulnerable.
Since 9/11, there have been technological advancements that have made it more cost-effective, allowing for businesses of all sizes to implement surveillance cameras and monitor them.
According to 2007 figures from the Security Industry Association, video surveillance alone is a $3.2 billion industry, representing about one-third of the overall security market.
Businesses are using surveillance cameras for other reasons than terrorist attacks. Whether it's tracking down the common criminal, work-place employees, etc...every business should consider adding video surveillance systems to protect their people, property and profits. Call Security 101 today!
