Don’t Let CCTV Blind Spots Cost You – Here's What to Check
When it comes to securing your business, missed areas in your CCTV setup aren’t just inconvenient, they can put your staff, premises, and peace of mind at risk. They create openings for theft, damage, and even data breaches. That’s why a well-planned CCTV systems installation should be a business priority, not an afterthought.
Here’s what to check, and why Cube Communications is trusted to get it right.
Are you confident your CCTV covers the right areas?
Many businesses assume their cameras are doing the job until they aren’t. We’ve found that systems often miss key areas like side exits, shared access zones, or internal stockrooms.
At Cube Communications, we work with you to understand how your premises operates. We look at how your staff move, when access points are most used, and where incidents are likely to happen. This forms the basis of an effective CCTV systems installation that protects your business without gaps.
Our process includes:
- A walkthrough of your site
- A design that ensures camera overlap for full visibility
- Selecting the right lenses and angles for your space
With this approach, your CCTV works the way you expect. For more information, visit our CCTV systems installation page.
Why CCTV blind spots are a real business risk
You might think one small area out of view doesn’t matter. But in practice, that could be the exact spot a theft occurs or where an insurance claim hinges. Here are just a few of the risks:
- Missed incidents: You lose visibility over unauthorised access or suspicious activity.
- Insurance complications: Lack of footage can weaken your claim or void it altogether.
- GDPR issues: If your cameras unintentionally record private spaces (like neighbouring properties), you could be liable.
Effective CCTV systems installation means these problems are addressed before they happen.

What does a professional CCTV installation include?
A good system doesn’t rely on guesswork. At Cube Communications, we make sure every corner is covered through:
- Detailed site surveys
- Tailored positioning of cameras
- Field-of-view planning to avoid overlaps and gaps
- Adjusting for lighting and obstructions
Our CCTV systems installation process builds systems with the future in mind, ensuring they keep pace as your needs shift. That means we’ll check how any expansions, layout changes, or new equipment might affect visibility.
How do CCTV systems vary by business type?
Every site is different. What works for a warehouse won’t suit a retail shopfront or a GP clinic. At Cube Communications, we tailor every CCTV systems installation to the way your business operates.
- Shops often need cameras at checkouts, entrances, and delivery areas
- Warehouses need wide coverage and night-vision capability
- Offices benefit from internal corridor monitoring and server room security
A one-size-fits-all solution can leave serious gaps. We help you avoid that by designing around your priorities.
Are there areas businesses typically miss?
Even well-meaning DIY installations often miss these:
- Stairwells and side exits
- Outdoor bins and service yards
- Corridors between departments
- Internal zones like server rooms or file storage
We bring a trained eye to spot the gaps and correct them through our tailored CCTV systems installation services.
Will your system still work as your business grows?
What worked two years ago might not cut it now. You may have taken on more staff, changed shift patterns, or moved equipment. We help clients upgrade their CCTV setups with:
- Extra coverage in new access points
- Smarter storage options
- Flexible systems that link with alarms or door controls
That way, your system grows alongside your business. Our scalable CCTV systems installation keeps you ahead of change.
Should you upgrade your legacy CCTV system?
Many businesses still rely on older CCTV systems that haven’t been reviewed in years. These often lack remote access, high-definition clarity, and reliable backup.
If your system doesn’t let you check footage off-site, lacks clear night vision, or takes too long to retrieve clips, it might be time for an upgrade.
Our team at Cube Communications helps businesses modernise their setup without overhauling everything. We integrate new tech with your existing setup where possible, giving you better coverage and smarter features.
A proactive upgrade can save you time and avoid headaches if an incident occurs.
Can you trust add-on camera kits to protect your site?
When systems are bolted on over time without a plan, they often leave blind spots. A joined-up design from the start ensures:
- Better coverage
- Easier footage retrieval
- Clear, compliant storage practices
We help you avoid disjointed setups that create problems during critical moments.
