Protect Your Inventory With a Business Security System
For every business, inventory is a valuable asset. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a clothing store with next season’s inventory in storage or a construction company that has valuable equipment stored on site; your business can face a significant setback if you lose your inventory. Protecting it with business security systems is a must.
Theft Deterrence
The Global Retail Theft Barometer published by the Center for Retail Research discovered retail stores in North America lose around $45 billion in inventory yearly. This is due to inventory shrink, meaning theft plays a significant role. A security system helps deter people from committing theft because they fear getting caught.
Security Alarms
Setting up alarms goes hand in hand with business security systems. Retail stores often have alarms near the doors that will go off when someone tries to leave the store with an item that wasn’t scanned. Other businesses can have alarms that will call the police if they go off, helping instantly catch burglars.
Restricted Access
Some security systems take things to the next level by providing access control. This means an employee will need an ID card or PIN to access the restricted area. Services like this come at an additional cost but are well worth it. Only approved employees will be permitted to enter rooms with expensive inventory, holding them accountable and decreasing theft.
Video Monitoring
Video surveillance is commonly included with security systems. Having video cameras throughout the area ensures that security guards can monitor suspicious figures or those they think are stealing. It can also help catch a criminal if something is stolen. Cameras can also contain night vision or be placed near motion-detecting lights to ensure clear visibility.
Remote Options
Modern surveillance systems let you see what’s happening from the convenience of your phone or tablet. Many come with an app so store owners can keep an eye on their inventory from anywhere worldwide as long as they can access Wi-Fi. This instantly provides peace of mind for every owner.
