    Making the Case for Video Surveillance Cameras in Schools

    Why install security cameras in schools? Some people say that the use of video surveillance cameras in educational settings is disruptive, invasive, or just plain unnecessary. But the better question to ask might be: Why not video cameras? When it comes to our children, nothing is more important than their safety. If you're still on the fence about choosing a security system or how surveillance video can help our schools, consider these benefits: Affordability. Security camera solutions are one of the most affordable ways for schools to drastically increase their safety measures. It's said that for businesses and residences, the use of video surveillance cameras can prevent up to 67% of burglaries. People think twice about their actions if they know they're being watched or filmed. Cameras might help cut down on bullying or truancy, not to mention the all-too-common dangers of weapons in school buildings. Peace of Mind. It's not just the...

    What to Consider for Reliable and Effective Security for Your Business

    Somehow, it's not surprising that there are more burglaries in the last two weeks of the calendar year -- the time between Christmas and New Year's -- than any other. That's when our stockings are hung and full of goodies, our stores are stocked with all of the latest gadgets, and our schools are closed for holiday. Unfortunately, it's a ripe environment for crime. But that doesn't mean that you should let your security slip over the summer. Many of the risks for businesses are the same, no matter the season. Summer is also a high time for shopping, and the summer recess for many schools, colleges, and companies means idle hands for the devil's workshop. Retailers suffer $44 million in inventory shrink around the country every year. And yet, it's possible that up to 67% of all burglaries could be prevented by the simple installation of reliable and effective security measures,...

    Human Error is Your Security System’s Biggest Weakness

    Many people who have never worked with commercial security products before are often surprised to find out how many options there are to choose from. There's internal security, external security, access control systems, fire protection, CCTV camera solutions, and more. Some businesses will only require one of these systems for protection while others will opt for an all of the above approach. Yet no matter what kind of commercial security systems you ultimately choose, there's still one dangerous flaw in your system: human error. Every year, police will respond to 38 million alarm activations, but 94 to 98% will be false alarms. These false alarms require a minimum of 20 minutes and two police officers while also wasting company time and resources. Then there are the flaws created not so much by human error but by human mischief. PIN codes used for access control can be forgotten or shared, while it's...

    What’s the Best Form of Access Control for Businesses?

    Most people think of business security systems as a way to protect against external threats. That's why most of the commercial security systems Philadelphia business owners install are focused on preventing burglaries or shoplifting. But when you've spent years installing the commercial security systems Philadelphia residents rely on for protection, you learn that some of the biggest threats to an organization come from the inside. While a business security camera system and the best intrusion detection system can help alert you to unwelcome visitors, it's just as important to protect yourself from unscrupulous employees. For instance, while 38% of inventory shrink is caused by shoplifting, another 34.5% is caused by employee theft. Not only that but in certain environments, employees can wander into unsafe areas, putting themselves at risk and exposing your company to enormous liability. For all these reasons and more, the best commercial security systems Philadelphia has ever seen increasingly...

    Why You Should Use Verified Audio Intrusion Detection

    Are you using conventional security alarms for your business? You may be putting your business and your livelihood at risk. Using non-verified security alarms makes you rely on easily compromised technology - such as motion sensors and door contacts. These older, less effective systems have a remarkable 98-percent false alarm rate. A proven solution to increase the effectiveness of your security system is to add Verified Audio detection. Why is Audio Detection superior to the motion sensors of conventional alarm systems? Motion sensors simply detect when there is motion. It is impossible to properly verify - it could be anything from a mouse or other animal, to a plant or fluctuation in heat. Or, it could be a thief. Unfortunately, nothing can be done but to simply guess, and many police departments no longer respond to unverified alarm systems. Verified Audio on the other hand is monitored. Staff can hear exactly what’s going...

    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...
