New Jersey business owners have taken steps to protect their inventory as well as protect their employees and customers with the use of surveillance cameras. New Jersey is a densely populated state. According to state statistics, it is as densely populated per square mile as the city of Hong Kong. With such population density and multitudes of shopping malls and large-box department stores located in this state, surveillance cameras in New Jersey have become as important as having someone to answer the phone.
Though surveillance cameras are more popular in urban areas, they have started to become important in many land ports in northern and central New Jersey where acres of warehouses are located that store goods to be trucked to businesses throughout the state. The losses from stolen goods in New Jersey increases each year but is expected to decrease for the first time this year due to the use of this technology. As an example, according to the NJ Attorney General's office, stolen property amounts to more than $12 million dollars annually. Crimes of larceny and theft are committed on the average of 1 every 41 minutes. In New Jersey, the individual business owner is responsible to provide security for their business; it’s not provided at the State of Local levels. Installation of a system is estimated to save a business owner 70 to 80% in losses due to employee theft as well as 30 to 40% in losses due to retail theft.
