Does a Church or Mosque Need CCTV?
Quick answer

Churches and mosques hold sound equipment, instruments, offerings and vehicles, often in buildings left empty during the week. Cameras on the entrance, the equipment store, the offering or counting room and the car park protect those, and a burglar alarm on the sound and instrument store closes the biggest gap. Keep footage private and put up a sign.

06Frequently asked questions

What do churches usually lose?

Sound equipment, instruments, cables and cash are common losses, and often from an unlocked or weakly locked store.

Should the sanctuary have cameras?

Many place cameras at entrances and the stage for security and streaming. Be sensitive about recording worshippers closely.

Can the same cameras help with live streaming?

Some IP cameras can feed a stream, but streaming cameras are usually separate from security cameras.
