Camera monitoring is often most useful when it forms part of a preventive security plan. Rather than waiting until an incident occurs, users can identify potential weaknesses in their surroundings and take steps to reduce risk. For example, reviewing camera coverage may reveal an entrance that is poorly illuminated or an area hidden from view. Users can respond by improving lighting, adjusting the camera angle, or installing an additional device where appropriate. Motion alerts can also help draw attention to activity near important entrances.
