    3 Fire Detection Features Your Business Needs

    A fire can be devastating for any business. Unfortunately, in the United States, fire departments respond to a fire every 24 seconds. While you cannot prevent every fire from happening, what you can do is use fire detection systems to help detect fires and get those fires put out as quickly as possible, minimizing the fire damage. Here are a few fire detection features that your business can benefit from. 1. Smoke Detection A smoke detection system is a tried and true method for detecting fires in a home or business early on. Smoke rises and as soon as smoke detectors detect the presence of smoke, they sound a loud alarm. This helps individuals to get out of a home or business. Having smoke detectors that are properly placed and functioning are key to helping detect a fire in a home or building. 2. Temperature and Heat Monitoring Systems While smoke detectors have been...

    Where Should You Have Security Cameras Installed?

    Security cameras are crucial to securing schools, commercial properties, offices, and other heavily trafficked spaces. They prevent employee theft and keep intruders from breaking in and stealing valuables. According to the Electronic Security Association, a study of convicted burglars by the University of North Carolina found that about 83% of the burglars stated that they would try to check if there was an alarm before proceeding with the burglary. Intrusion security cameras help capture the face and other details of the burglary, which assists police officers to catch the offenders. However, the effectiveness of your cameras depends on where you have placed them. Here are the five best places to install security cameras. 1. Entrances and Exits This is the most important spot to place an intrusion security camera. It helps you know who entered and left the premises and when it happened. If a suspicious person enters or leaves the building, you...

    There are many myths concerning security systems and some common beliefs that just aren't true. Security systems are a great way to keep you and your family safe and secure.

    Why Are Alarms So Important?

    Statistics show that significantly more break-ins happen during the last 2 weeks of the year, specifically the weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year's, than any other time of the year. These two weeks provide some of the first really cold weather of the season and create empty streets with plentiful stock available in stores. Jewelry and other easily cashed valuables are in abundance and highly targeted. That means there's more opportunity for burglars during the last two weeks of the year than at any other time. Valuables and Opportunities Lead to Thievery It's that simple. Whenever you have a situation where retail businesses have an abnormally high amount of stock, such as during the holidays when running out of stock on a critical item can endanger an entire business, thieves will try to take advantage. Daytime theft tends to be pilferage and shoplifting. Thieves during the daytime steal items of...

    How Can Alarms Deter Theft?

    Any business owner who cares for the security of their property will install some anti-burglary system. Crime is rampant enough that the investment only makes common sense. However, do such alarms deter theft? To answer that question, we should examine what anti-burglary systems are available and how security camera solutions can help you. Types of Anti-Burglary Systems The classic burglary alarm will set off a loud, piercing noise if an unauthorized person breaks open a door or window to gain entry to a business. At the same time, the burglar alarm company would be alerted that a burglary is in process and would duly summon the police to the location. Some anti-burglary systems include motion detectors for certain rooms where valuables are located. This feature will enable law enforcement to find the burglar should he or she be foolish enough to remain at the crime scene once the alarm has been tripped. Security...
