Home CCTV is already in place across many properties in the UK. If you are considering installing it too, you’re probably focusing on home security above all else. The idea of preventing and deterring burglars from picking your home is very appealing.

However, did you know there are other things you can keep an eye on too, if the circumstances demand it?

Workmen who might have access to your property

It’s not always practical to be at home when workmen are getting work done there, whether it is in your garden or inside your property. We can’t all arrange time off, and sometimes it is necessary to give them a key and trust they will get everything done on time and without causing any problems.

Mostly, this is exactly what happens. But if you have CCTV at home anyway, you can check everything is progressing as it should be. Cameras that can be accessed via the internet, maybe on your smartphone, for example, are ideal. You can check in and see what is happening whenever you like.

Delivery drivers

We’ve all heard stories of delivery drivers throwing parcels over fences and gates, and on occasion even the roof of a property. CCTV cameras monitoring your front door and driveway can provide evidence of any nefarious goings-on a delivery driver might get up to. Then, if you ever have cause to complain, they cannot deny what happened.

Babysitters

Do you have young children? If you hire a babysitter to look after your kids, it is only natural you will want to keep an eye on them and make sure they are acting responsibly. If you have cameras inside your property as part of your CCTV arrangement, you should let them know. Chances are you will have an excellent babysitter who doesn’t cause any issues, but as you can see, it can be useful.
