In a recent article, Sunstkitts.com published some security tips for business owners to do their part in the prevention of robbery:
Have at least two employees open and close the business;
Do not release personal information to strangers;
Keep purses and personal valuables locked in desks or lockers;
Install a robbery alarm and use it;
Place a surveillance camera behind the cash register facing the front counter.
Place excess money in a safe or deposit it as soon as possible;
Don’t use marked “moneybags” that make it obvious to would-be robbers you are carrying money for deposit, instead place it inside of some other bag.
They seem like good tips to me. What do you think?

I sell cameras and surveillance equipment and cameras are a must for any business. One above the register is mandatory but one near the safe is a good idea. There is one sort of theft that shouldn’t be overlooked by business owners and that’s employee theft. Put cameras throughout the business as well as the back rooms.
