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

    Approximately 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...

    You Must Protect Your Security Codes

    You have taken a great deal of time to invest in an alarm system that is the right fit for your business. You paid for the equipment and now pay a monthly fee to have the system monitored. We've seen a lot of weird things over the years in the name of security, but one that takes the cake - putting a post-it note with the security access number on it - right next to the security keypad!   Everyone who passes by the keypad will know how to disarm your system without causing an alarm. Just because the keypad may be in a private hallway, and may not be visible to the public, that doesn’t mean this is a good idea.  By posting these instructions, you give disarming rights to every vendor, contractor, delivery person and visitor that passes this area. Your security investment is now a waste of money. To help, we've come up...

    How to Evaluate Your Site for Security System Installation

    Whether you run a small business or a large company, commercial security services are essential to your safety and the safety of your assets. However, before you complete the task of choosing a security system, you need to evaluate your site for installation. Evaluating your site for any commercial security system involves a number of different tasks. Here's what you need to know to perform a proper evaluation. Identify Any and All Possible Entrances Any entrance into your building is a security concern. Whether it's a loading dock, a bay window, or the front door, you need to make note of all of the potential access points on your site. Once you've identified all of the potential access points, make a detailed map of your building and note where each one is. This map will allow you and your commercial surveillance service to more easily determine your security needs. Evaluate Indoor and Outdoor Lighting Adequate...

    4 Most Commonly Shoplifted Items and How You Can Protect Your Business

    Only one in every seven businesses has an alarm system like Sonitrol Security in place to prevent theft and break ins, and those without alarms may be at a much greater risk for theft. It's no question that shoplifting is an issue for countless retail stores, whether they have business security systems or not. However, certain businesses might be more prone to theft than others, and not for the reasons you might think. Rather than location or size, most businesses are robbed based on the items they carry. For instance, in places like downtown Los Angeles, there is a black market for stolen goods that operates in plain sight. Shoplifters from around the city gather there to sell lifted merchandise like razors, shampoo, and stolen iPhones. But even small rural towns have hidden black markets for stolen goods. While installing business security systems is an important step, it's just as important for...

    Top 5 Benefits of Installing a Security System for Your Business

    Police respond to approximately 38 million alarm activations annually, but despite the large number of calls, only one in seven businesses has any kind of alarm system in place. So if 38 million seems high, just think about how many alarm activations should be going out. More businesses are in need of a commercial security system now than ever before. Plus, recent advances in technology has made these business security systems incredibly effective. However, at a time when businesses need to cut costs at all costs, many business owners will avoid any additional expenses. For those skeptics, here are five benefits of commercial security systems for businesses. Reduce Insurance Premiums Most insurance companies require that businesses install some form of security system on their property. Beyond being a requirement, it could actually reduce your premium, as insurance companies are more likely to offer discounts when commercial security systems are in place. Avoid Fraudulent Claims With...

    Top Five Reasons You Should Invest in a High Quality Alarm System for Your Home

    Investing in high quality alarm systems is becoming increasingly important for homeowners. Not only are 50% of burglaries abandoned if an alarm system is discovered to be present, but only 13% of burglaries reported to the police are ever solved. In many cases, this is a direct result of a conventional security system that lacks video or sound capabilities. Integrated security systems use video and sound to immediately notify the monitoring operator of exactly what's happening on the site, which can not only save you money, it can save law enforcement valuable money and time. Still not convinced? Here are the top five reasons you should invest in high quality alarm systems for your home.
