When you go shopping for something – and this could literally be anything – you probably read the packaging before you buy. You probably also focus on the features displayed on the packaging.
But is that the best way to shop, and to choose the right item for you?
There is a better way to shop, and this applies to buying CCTV kits as well. It means focusing on the benefits of a CCTV system rather than the features.
What is the difference between a feature and a benefit?
They might sound similar, but in fact they couldn’t be more different. A feature is a fact about the system. So, for example, if a camera has night vision, that is a feature. 24/7 recording capabilities is another feature, as is the ability to pan a camera from one position to another.
Now, let’s transform those features into benefits. Firstly, the night vision feature has the benefit of allowing you to view an area easily even in pitch darkness. That means you get full round-the-clock protection you can rely on. Secondly, the 24/7 recording feature means you will never miss a thing. If something happens at any point, you know your cameras will have footage of it. This means you get better protection and the chance to capture evidence at any moment.
Finally, let’s focus on the ability to pan your camera. A static camera only focuses on a fixed view. However, a camera that can be panned from one area to another gives you greater capabilities, since you can cover a wider area and stand a better chance of capturing essential images if someone is caught in that area.
