INSTALLATION OF CCTV CAMERAS IN SAKET.

Dear Saketians,

Ours is an extremely porous complex with multiple entry and exit points – 58 in number to be precise.

It is almost impossible to man all the points thru guards because it will require over 100 guards in 3 shifts and send the cost spiraling. As of now the society spends appx Rs. 30 lakhs on our security.

Recently, the state govt. has announced a decision to make installation of CCTV cameras for big complexes.

Our complex people have been victims of chain snatching and stealing of vehicles. We also witness that salesman and unwanted elements enter our complex routinely. On such occasions, whenever we have approached the police for aid, they have time and again suggested to us to install CCTV cameras in the complex.

Benefits of CCTV Cameras

For the society, CCTV is a very useful instrument for many reasons. Some of them are obvious: preventing crimes like thefts, helping the police and watching the employees.

·         CCTV helps prevent crime, of course. The hidden cameras are able to help investigators to identify how a crime happened and to spot it in action. However, they are more likely to prevent the crime from occurring simply by letting everyone know they are being watched.

·         CCTV is convenient for keeping records.. This may be convenient for law enforcement officials and security staff.

·         CCTV is able to inspire confidence, because it creates a safe feeling environment.

·         The most obvious benefit is that the unit is not subject to the failure of any type of wiring, because CCTV cameras use wireless technology in order to accomplish their task.

·         One more advantage of CCTV is the clarity of the images captured. Today, most of the wireless cameras produce a high-resolution image which makes it very easy to identify faces and other physical characteristics.

·         Finally, CCTV cameras are in most cases less expensive than people would think. Actually, today you can buy wireless units cheaper than many of the wired counterparts on the market. Taking into account that wireless cameras require much easier installation, it comes as no surprise that more and more people today are choosing wireless security cameras.

Other Benefits

·         It will be a one time investment which will help us reduce the cost of security.

·         It will help in better monitoring of the entire complex.

·         We will be able to trace and stop movement of unwanted elements in the complex.

·         CCTV security system technology and CCTV equipment can be used in both internal and external environments to watch over and protect people, property, vehicles and valuables.

·         .CCTV equipment can provide instant alerts when problematic trouble occurs, ensuring that crime against people, theft and vandalism are all substantially reduced and covered. And when crime does occur, CCTV security system incident recording can provide valuable evidence, improving the likelihood of a conviction.

CCTV security systems and CCTV security cameras can be bought in in an endless variety of configurations, sizes, and functions. We can choose our system based on our needs. In addition, it’s easy to expand the system for more coverage as and when we need it.

Saketians, your committee has interviewed over one dozen vendors and has shortlisted 3 people for final negotiations. The cost of installation of CCTVs at the entrance lobby of all 24 buildins, 3 gates and 5 other vantage points will be around Rs. 8 lakhs and we propose to recover the same by adding a small sum of Rs. 100/- for one year in the members monthly bill – so that members are not burdened at one time.

We seek your approval for the project so that it can be installed before monsoon sets in a big way.
