    4 Commercial Security Tips to Help Keep the Monsters Out of Your Store This Halloween

    business security systemApproximately 38% of inventory shrink is the result of shoplifting, a crime that plagues retail businesses of all sizes around the world. However, some seasons are riper for theft than others. Halloween season is an especially popular time for these tricksters to invade your store.

    Fortunately, a properly maintained business security system can help keep shoplifters out, and not simply by catching them in the act. Even the presence of CCTV cameras and other business security systems can deter shoplifters. Here are a few essential commercial security solutions to help you keep shoplifters from haunting your store this Halloween.

    Proper Lighting
    If there’s a dark spot in your surveillance video, there’s an open opportunity for thieves to step in. Before you declare your business security systems foolproof, make sure you’re inspecting the video feed properly to ensure all areas are well-lit.

    Access Control Systems
    There’s an old adage that locks only keep the honest people out. If you’re using traditional locks, it undoubtedly applies. However, access control systems eliminate traditional locks with PIN numbers, access codes, and access cards that are used to securely open doors. Without the ability to duplicate a key or pick a lock, thieves won’t be able to break in so easily. Even better, you’ll have a log of exactly who went where in case something is amiss.

    Business Alarm Systems
    Having an alarm system for your business is basically a no-brainer, but it’s more than just a precautionary measure to keep burglars out. Thanks to modern technology, your alarm system can also function as a smoke and fire alarm system. This is especially beneficial if arson is a concern for your business.

    Safes
    The key to having a safe in your store is choosing the right kind of safe. If you store important paper documents and financial records in your safe, it’s important to make sure it can withstand not only fire, but brute force attacks, as well. In fact, it may even be a good idea to invest in a safe that has additional smart features.

    Keeping the baddies out this Halloween season has never been easier than it is now, thanks to the high quality alarm systems and commercial surveillance available. Don’t hesitate to protect your business now, and every time of the year.
