Commonly deemed a business expense, digital surveillance actually IMPROVES the financial bottom line for almost every business and industry. A typical digital surveillance installation not only covers the cost of the installation, but also actually earns a tangible financial return. Very few business investments offer this type of return!

Increase Employee Productivity- According to the SBA, the average employee works only 32 minutes per hour.  Think about this fact for a moment.  Your employees are at work approximately 50% of the time that you are paying them. Just image the increase in employee productivity with their knowledge that you are monitoring the workplace 24/7. 

Reduce Inventory Shrinkage- Inventory shrinkage, a combination of employee theft, shoplifting, vendor fraud and administrative error, cost United States retailers over $31 billion last year according to the latest National Retail Security Survey report on retail theft, which analyzed theft incidents from 118 of the largest U.S. retail chains. 

According to University of Florida criminologist Richard C. Hollinger, Ph.D., who directs the National Retail Security Survey, retailers lost 1.7 percent of their total annual sales to inventory shrinkage last year. The surveyed portion of the retail economy transacts over $1.845 trillion dollars annually, making the loss worth over $31.3 billion.

Where Inventory Shrinkage Happens

Source of Inventory Shrinkage	% of Loss*	$ Lost
Employee Theft	48.5%	$15.1 billion
Shoplifting	31.7%	$9.7 billion
Administrative Error	15.3%	$4.8 billion
Vendor Fraud	5.4%	$1.7 billion
Total Inventory Shrinkage		$31.3 billion

Digital surveillance has been proven to reduce shrinkage by over 75%. Reduced shrinkage means a more profitable bottom line.  It's a pretty simple concept.

Armed Robbery Prevention- A little known figure touted by the FBI is this: Over 90% of individuals who commit armed robbery actually scope out their crime scene BEFORE they commit a crime: usually several times. With an installed digital surveillance system by DSC, these criminals will know they will be caught in the act before your establishment is robbed. Our surveillance systems are the biggest single deterrent to this type of theft!

The overall benefits of an effective digital surveillance system transcend the financial benefits.  Not only does your financial bottom line improve, but you have the piece of mind in knowing that your business and your employees are working in a safer workplace.
