    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. Fire protection While most people simply think their security systems just protect them from home invasions, most systems offer additional protective measures for homeowners. Smoke alarms are the most commonly used form of fire detection, but most high...

    Conventional vs. Verified Alarm Systems: Which is Better?

    If you're moving into a new home or considering making changes to yours, one of the first things you should look into is an alarm system. Studies show that approximately 83% of burglars will attempt to determine whether or not an alarm was present before attempting a robbery, and of those, more than 50% said they would abandon the burglary if an alarm was discovered. Home and business alarm systems are incredibly important, but there are countless automated systems to look into before investing. All home and business owners are aware of the importance of their security, but what some people fail to learn about is the difference between conventional and verified alarm systems. A conventional home or business security system will include the use of motion sensors and glass break detectors only. What that means is that if your alarm is activated, the monitoring operator knows the alarm has been triggered...

    Why Your Business Needs a Customized Security Solution

    No two businesses are alike. A school will have entirely different security needs from a construction site. By purchasing a generic conventional off-the-shelf alarm system for your business, you’re putting your business, assets, and employees at risk. Having a customized solution to fit your needs is important to staying secure. Depending on the physical location of your business or organization, the type of business it is, how many employees you have, the type of building you’re in, the volume of sales or product you turn over, and the nature of your assets… your needs will vary. And it’s not just external theft or vandalism you are trying to protect yourself against - lawsuits, false insurance claims, workplace violence, accidents, fires, and explosions all cost businesses many billions of dollars each year. Don’t be fooled into thinking the cheapest alarm system will actually save you money - in reality it could end up...

    If you have any amount of copper in your construction site, compound or warehouse, you're vulnerable to copper theft. Copper theft is a growing problem in North America, the cost is estimated to be in the many millions.

Vacant or unnocupied factilities and warehouses are particularly vulnerable to copper theft and the extreme damage repair costs associated with it. Therefore, it’s important to be proactive in protecting your valuable assets from theft, especially when it comes to copper. What is the impact of copper theft?

    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...
