Monitoring a workforce and member of the public

Employee monitoring is a method where employers use to survey their workforce. These methods include employee monitoring software, time clocks, CCTV, GPS systems, and biometric technology.

CCTV cameras

A closed-circuit television camera can produce images or recordings for surveillance or other private purposes. Most businesses and organizations use CCTV cameras to keep track of their employees and customers. CCTV has been around for decades, however recent improvements in technology (Micro-controllers and Internet) mean that CCTV can now be easily, cheaply, and securely streamed across the internet.

Uses of CCTV Cameras

·         Crime prevention, such as theft

·         Safety – check for fires

·         Checking if employees are at their desks

·         Vehicle monitoring to help with traffic flow

GPS Tracking Systems

GPS tracking systems are one of the most widely available tracking systems available, largely because most smartphones now have the technology fitted as standard.

GPS is used for:

·         Tracking employee locations for safety purposes

·         Keeping track of vehicle location for planning and crime prevention purposes.

·         Stop employees using vehicles for personal use.

·         Location tracking for fitness apps.

·         Emergency location finding (e.g. breakdown services)

·         Live traffic and accident tracking (if the GPS signals from multiple vehicles on the motorway stop suddenly then there is either a traffic jam or an accident!
