Video Surveillance Signs

Professional video surveillance signs printed on Dibond aluminum composite. High-contrast bold colors work better than threats—your brain processes "bright yellow camera icon" faster than "trespassers will be prosecuted" in Helvetica.

  • Dibond aluminum composite construction—two aluminum faces with polyethylene core.
  • 3mm standard thickness (6mm heavy-duty available).
  • Full-color UV printing, single or double-sided.
  • Weatherproof: outdoor-rated, waterproof, rust-proof.
The story Surveillance Footage Captures Robber's Existential Crisis While Clerk Locks Him In Store Berkeley, CA —

THE NEWS IS PLAYING SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE OF A ROBBER trapped inside a jewelry store, begging through the glass like a goldfish who just realized what a bowl is. The clerk? She just walked out. Locked his a** in. Didn't even look back. Cut to my neighbor on TV explaining crime statistics while three kids behind him are doing that thing where they pretend to pick their nose and eat it. The whole disaster captured in 4K because someone had the foresight to mount cameras and—here's the kicker—actually put up signs saying they were recording.

My neighbor's still talking about "community safety initiatives" while one kid's now pretending to strangle one another. The robber's pressing his face against the glass making promises to Jesus, Buddha, and the Tooth Fairy. The news anchor's voice cracks trying to stay professional. This is what happens when surveillance becomes performance art—everyone's suddenly aware they're being watched but nobody knows their lines. The signs weren't just warnings; they were invitations to the most honest theater you'll ever see.
