    Improve Security at Your Construction Site

    During a construction project, there are always going to be security threats specific to construction sites that can be difficult to manage. Unprotected sites will have a high risk of theft of uninstalled materials, equipment (such as copper cables), and installed materials, such as copper wire & pipes that can be torn out of walls. You have valuable assets to protect and deadlines to meet, and so security should be top of mind. Unfortunately, theft is becoming more and more common, costing the construction industry more that $2 billion per year in North America. It can happen on projects of all sizes, ranging from enormous construction projects such as airports, office towers, and highways, to smaller housing developments. Organized criminals, individual thieves working alone, and even the workers themselves, all target construction sites. These criminals will steal anything from copper wiring, appliances, and tools, to drywall, lumber, and other building materials. This activity...

    3 Crucial Benefits of Commercial Security Solutions That Can Save Your Business from a Catastrophe

    Your business is likely the most valuable investment you have to your name, and you should be doing everything in your power to protect it at all costs. Therefore, you need to be investing in the latest and greatest commercial security solutions available to protect your investment -- as well as your safety. Police respond to approximately 38 million alarm activations per year, and you may be surprised at how common attempted burglaries have become. Even worse, structure fires caused by electrical failures happen quite routinely, and fire alarm systems are particularly important for hotels and restaurants. While there are several things you cannot control in the world of business, protecting your investment with commercial security solutions is certainly something you can control. Here are just three of the many ways that reliable and effective security systems can save your business from a potential catastrophe: Video surveillance cameras Perhaps the most important reason to...

    Stop Stalling, Install Retail and Business Security Cameras This Year

    Over the past two years, residential security cameras have become a major new trend among homeowners. At the same time, security cameras for businesses here in Delaware have gone from being a good idea to non-optional. Whether you run a small retail operation or own a giant office building, CCTV security cameras let you monitor your space 24/7/365. Perhaps it's no coincidence that as security cameras have made a major comeback, the heroin crisis has turned into a full-blown epidemic here in Delaware. Unfortunately, Delaware residents in the throes of heroin addiction often resort to criminal activity like shoplifting and burglary. Watch Videos of Crimes Caught on Camera by our Delaware Security Cameras! Yet many people don't realize that not only can security cameras help catch criminals in the act, making it easier for the police to do their job, but they're also a powerful tool for preventing crime in the first place....

    Case Study: 3 Takeaways from a Recent Robbery in Delaware Caught on Tape

    This March, police in Georgetown, Delaware are hunting for two suspects caught on camera as they robbed a local restaurant. Around 1:00 am on Wednesday, March 9, two suspects broke windows and entered the Georgetown China Wok, setting off intrusion detection systems as they did. While the thieves are still on the loose, the caught on tape burglary can also help us understand how crimes like these happen in real life. Even if you have the best intrusion detection system in the world, it's important to have all the information you need to protect your business, your employees, and your property. Lesson 1: Many Criminals are Stupid, Incompetent, or Both Despite what you see in blockbuster films, most criminals are just plain stupid. Not only did video surveillance cameras get clear shots of the Georgetown thieves, but the criminals barely got away with any money during their failed heist. According to WMDT, video...

    3 Things Burglars Think You Can’t See, But Your Security Cameras Will

    No business is perfectly safe from the threat of burglary. Obviously, the key to preventing them is to be prepared, but how do you know what you need to be fully protected? As they say, you must get into the head of your enemy to understand them. So here are a few things robbers think are their advantage, which can really be used to yours: Hidden in the shadows: Most robbers are not risky enough to break-in somewhere in broad daylight. Therefore, most believe they are covered by the dark of the night. Thanks to commercial security systems, this is far from the truth.Most security cameras are now built with better resolution and improved capabilities to capture light. This means they are able to see and record far more in the dark than can be seen with the naked human eye. Not to mention that audio-based intrusion and alarm systems would likely...

    Choose a Security System That Makes Sense for Your Business

    Last week, a Mac store in Edmonton, Canada experienced a violent armed robbery. Local business owner Lawrence Brendel believes that the right approach for companies to take is to be proactive about security -- especially when there’s a lot on the line. In 2003, Brendel’s jewelry store was also robbed at gunpoint. While it is unfortunate that businesses have to take such things into account, his advice is nothing if not practical; “You're a sitting duck here, you've got to do what you can do,” he explained in an interview with CBC. Proactive Approach One of Brendel’s security solutions is to require all people to buzz into the store. This allows his staff to evaluate who is asking to come in, and ensures that the business is always aware of who is inside. He also has security cameras that he can monitor through a phone app. Naturally, it’s impossible for most businesses to adopt...

    4 Commonly Stolen Items for Security Systems Philadelphia Retailers to Protect

    Shoplifting is a notoriously difficult issue for any company to prevent. It’s simply impossible for someone to keep an eye on every person who enters a store. Worst of all, it has a serious impact. Shoplifting was responsible for about 38% of the $44 million of inventory shrink experienced by American retailers, while another 34.5% was lost to employee theft. What's even more amazing, though, is what gets stolen. Here are just a few of the most commonly shoplifted items: Meat: Many retailers are being left wondering, where’s the beef? Shockingly, meat has proven to be a favorite amongst shoplifters. The pieces stolen are most often the top-quality cuts, such as filet mignon or lamb chops. Razors: You’ve probably noticed the giant glass cases of razors when wandering through the store, or have at least seen the commercials complaining of how difficult it can be to actually purchase them. However, it would seem...
