    Eyes Inside the Rise of Organized Retail Crime

    Estimates suggest that 67% of burglaries can be prevented by installing video surveillance business security systems. This is, or rather was good news. Now, however, a new form of theft is occurring with increasing frequency. Organized Retail Crime (ORC) costs the retail industry $30 billion per year, and a shocking 97% of retail stores have admitted to being a victim of ORC.  The Lifting Strategy Simple shoplifting is generally a cut and dried case. A store catches the thief in action, they are given a slap on the wrist, and everyone moves on with their lives. ORC is a different ballgame. Lifters are not independent agents, but rather more like contracted employees of a grander scheme.  The way it works is a group of lifters flood one retail location for a certain amount of time. When it gets too hot (too much attention) they leave, letting the store owner believe they solved the problem. If any...

    3 Reasons Sound-Based Verified Alarms Are Crucial For Business Security

    When it comes to intrusion security for your business, there are a number of reasons you should take it seriously. First, and most obviously, you want to protect your products from theft. Second, you might have corporate data that could be used as leverage against your company. And third, you could have personal information that you store in your office that you don't want to become public knowledge. Privacy and security must be the top priorities for every business owner. Even if you have video surveillance and sophisticated locks, your business might be vulnerable. One of the most overlooked security measures is the use of sound-based verified alarms. Here is how they protect your business.  Audio Detection Where many motion sensing devices fail, audio detection devices succeed. If a criminal is attempting to break into your company, they could very well know that there are motion-triggered cameras, and know where they are...

    Audio and Visual: The First Security Systems Your Business Needs

    As the owner of a business, it is your job to make sure your products are safe. Which is why you are right to be concerned with which high quality alarm systems you should be using for your business. A lot of this depends on the type of merchandise you keep in stock and what industry you are in, but two things remain important to almost every business.  Audio-Based Intrusion Detection System One of the most high quality alarm systems to date incorporates the use of highly sensitive microphones that listen for noises that match the sound an intruder would make when nobody is around. This can help you detect and prevent late-night burglaries, saving you potentially thousands of dollars of stolen product.  One concern that gets raised about audio-based systems is that they can be too sensitive. That's why most alarm systems have built-in delays that can last from half a minute to three...

    The 4 Best Alarms To Keep Your Business Theft Free This Holiday Season

    Did you know that in the last two weeks of December there are more break-ins than at any other time of the year?

    Reducing Inventory Shrink With Security Systems

    As a business owner, one of the most important things you can do is ensure the safety of your product and reduce shrinkage. According to The Global Retail Theft Barometer, as published by the Center for Retail Research, North American retailers lose roughly $45 billion in inventory from shrinkage every year. Although it might not be realistic to reduce this number to $0 every year, the commercial security system Philadelphia uses has high hope toward preventing your business from being part of this statistic.  Inventory shrink is more complicated than simple theft, although theft is included. Shrinkage includes customer theft, employee theft, breakage, returns, and lost product. The largest two contributors to this statistics, though, are employee theft and customer shoplifting. So how do you prevent this? Security cameras are a basic starting point. Having eyes on your store at all times is the first step toward catching thieves in action.  Swipe...

    The Holy Trinity of Daytime Retail Surveillance Technology

    It's one thing to protect against break-ins to your business at night, but surveillance solutions that prevent daytime losses are quite a bit more difficult. Daytime security monitoring is an essential part of any retail shopping center or storefront, but it's also much more difficult than many business owners realize. By definition, your property will see more traffic during daylight hours, which means there are more threats to guard against. For instance, 34.5% of inventory shrink comes from employees theft, while 38% comes from shoplifting. Both sources of theft are far more common than nighttime burglaries. Between these two sources of daylight product loss, you have a significant reason to implement business security systems for use during business hours. On top of that, daytime retail security technology can protect your business from false insurance claims and other types of liability. So the next time you're ready to upgrade your retail business's security...

    4 Types of Commercial Security That Keep Businesses On Lock

    It’s no secret that burglar alarms are a strong deterrent to theft, but did you know that 83% of convicted burglars say that they would attempt to find out if an alarm was present before trying to burglarize? Having a commercial security system in place is especially prudent for businesses that have significant assets that need protection. The question, then, is what type of business security solutions will work best for your company? Types of Security Systems Video Surveillance is a staple in the securities industry. It allows you to watch your cameras remotely for any malicious actors attempting to burgle your business. There are a couple of flaws, though. First, the resolution of these cameras can be quite poor unless you shell out a bit of extra cash. Second, and more importantly, they require someone watching them in order to prevent crimes. They might be a strong deterrent, but if a...
