Health
and Social Clubs
Health clubs and
gyms are ideal candidates for video surveillance because of their continuous
flow of members. At certain country clubs or exclusive gyms, perceived wealth
of members can make them and their property, as well as club property, an easy
target for thieves. A carefully installed video surveillance system can keep
your members, staff and assets safe from theft, vandalism and violence.
Benefits
of Gym CCTV Systems
- Prevent
theft and vandalism Prominently installed cameras and monitoring
notices help prevent theft and vandalism to your facilities and your members
cars.
- Easy
installation Digital IP cameras are easy to install and re-configurable.
You can set the cameras up where you need them and reconfigure them at any
time, without professional help.
- Protect
members Cameras, especially in parking lots, can protect the cars
of your members and staff from break-ins.
- Improve
image Video surveillance systems, along with providing top-notch
security, also give a good impression on potential members and can help assure
current members that they are safe at your facility.
Risks of Health
Club Video Surveillance
- Privacy
In order to protect the privacy of your members in staff, surveillance
cameras should only be placed in public areas. Keep locker rooms and employee
break rooms camera-free.
- Outages
Electrical surges or power outages can damage your security system
or disrupt surveillance. Although these types of damages are rare, they do
happen. Make sure you have other security measures in place in case your security
cameras fail.
- Outdoor
damage Bad weather, stray tennis balls, and falling branches are
among the things that can damage your outdoor cameras.
Configuration
of Security Cameras for Workout Facilities
Gyms, health clubs
and country clubs all vary in size, clientele and security needs. Consider each
of the following when looking for a video surveillance system:
- Risks
- What kind
of security do you currently have in place?
- What is your
most important security issue and how will security cameras help to fix
it?
- Size
- How many
members belong to your gym or country club?
- Do you have
a space in a larger building or a stand-alone structure with a parking lot?
- Facilities
- Do you have
outdoor facilities like tennis courts, basketball courts, a playground,
soccer fields, or a swimming pool?
- Do you have
indoor facilities like a weight room, cardio machines, and fitness/dance
classrooms?
- Do you have
a restaurant or snack bar?
- Staff
- How many
staff members do you have?
- Do you hire
seasonal staff (e.g. life guards, camp counselors)?
- Events
- Do you host
events like golf tournaments, charity events, or swim meets?
- Do you host
summer camps where non-members may participate?
