Surveillance cameras are essential to prevent theft, monitor for unwanted visitors, and document any unexpected incidents involving the dogs or staff. It's really hard to keep watching the security videos like that. To watch meaningless clips constantly. I don't have the time to sit there and watch. I'm busy "


He explained that their office is a busy place with people coming and going, dogs being trained, and products being sold. Surveillance cameras are in place to prevent theft, monitor for unwanted visitors, and document any unexpected incidents involving the dogs or staff.
