Serve as a visible crime deterrent while recording incidents as evidence is correct. At a neighborhood sorting hub the primary security objective of video surveillance is to deter theft and vandalism by being visible and to capture reliable footage that can be used as evidence after an incident.

Visible cameras reduce opportunistic crime because potential offenders see the system and often choose not to act. Recorded footage also supports investigations and law enforcement responses when it is preserved with proper procedures and chain of custody.

Record footage to support insurance claims is not the primary purpose. Insurance documentation can be a secondary benefit of recordings but the main goal is to prevent and document criminal activity for security and legal reasons.

Provide operational analytics such as foot traffic counts is incorrect as the primary purpose. Modern systems can deliver analytics and those outputs are useful for operations, but operational metrics are generally a secondary use and not the main security rationale for visible cameras at a hub.

Log employee attendance for payroll purposes is wrong as the primary purpose. Time and attendance are normally managed by dedicated systems and using surveillance for payroll raises privacy and accuracy concerns that make it an unlikely primary justification for installing visible security cameras.
