    Three Reasons Why CCTV is NOT a Total Security Solution

    I often get asked by people checking out security systems for their business for first time, “I’m looking for an electronic security system for my business, should I go with a CCTV system purchased from by local electronics retailer or Big Box Store?” The simple answer is “No” and here's why: CCTV cameras and surveillance systems are a good operational management and recording tool, but that’s about it. It's good for ensuring staff are working, correct product is being shipped or received undamaged, and keeping tabs in general on your property. As a security system, CCTV is not the best solution. A security system needs to protect your assets, such as valuable inventory and employees, and notify the Police to stop crimes in progress. "My advice ...

    Security Tips for Garages and Parking Lots

    Since garages and parking lots contain valuable vehicles and personal contents, car owners and their passengers could be potential victims theft and violence. Garages and parking lots are frequently favoured "hunting grounds" for robbers and thieves. In some garages, access to the garage can be controlled or closely monitored. A parking attendant can view the occupants of cars entering and leaving, and a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera may be used to record license numbers and drivers' faces, both major deterrents to many criminals. However, ground-level pedestrian doors, located out of sight of the parking attendant, should be monitored by CCTV to avoid blind spots. The threat to people and property in covered/enclosed parking garages can be even higher than the threat in open lots. Isolated floors and locations often make effective surveillance or monitoring difficult, and criminals can find places to hide more easily. Adequate lighting and the...

    3 Ways Security Access Control Systems Can Stop Shoplifters Dead in Their Tracks

    You can't really own a business without dealing with the possibility of robberies. While the threat of outside burglars is one of the most recognized benefits of security systems, many business owners don't realize how much potential there is for employee theft and shoplifting. Overtime, small interior thefts can amount to substantial losses. So how do you prevent this problem with whole teams of employees and consumers constantly roaming your building? Business security systems are obviously an effective tool against theft, and here are a few reasons why: Video surveillance: Just the presence of surveillance video cameras is usually enough to deter people from attempting to steal. Around 67% of burglaries can actually be avoided by the installation of video cameras, many of which are interior thefts. But for those willing to risk it anyway, it is usually one of the only pieces of evidence that can prove a thief's guilt. Security access...

    Three Reasons to Upgrade Your Commercial Security System

    There aren't many companies out there that are willing to risk their inventory and finances by ignoring the need for a security system. But is any old alarm enough to actually make a difference? Commercial security systems can come in a number of different forms, spanning everywhere from audio-based intrusion detection systems to surveillance video. But what are the repercussions of having a poor system in place? Here are just a few examples: Delay time: The majority of alarm systems have a built in delay that waits anywhere from 30 seconds to three minutes from when it is triggered before actually contacting the monitoring company. Not to mention that the monitoring company will then need to contact the authorities. That is plenty of time for any burglars to either escape or even grab hold of some inventory. False alarms: Most people would be shocked at how many false alarms are triggered by commercial...

    Track and Restrict Threats With Security Access Control Systems

    The fear of theft is one that plagues business owners across any industry. While the most prevalent threat comes from burglars who would attempt to break into a building, one of the less obvious dangers can come from within the company as well. If a business is not prepared to combat these issues, they could end up looking at serious losses over time. The National Retail Security Survey reported that retailers in the United States suffered $44 million in inventory shrinkage in just one year. This statistic is a result of a number of different risks that plague businesses. About 38% of all of this inventory shrink can be attested to shoplifting, while a comparable estimated 34.5% is from employee theft. There are multiple versions of business security systems that offer different services, each with their own advantages. While systems that use surveillance video can reduce burglaries by approximately 67%, there are...

    What Makes an Alarm System for Businesses so Important?

    For many business owners, one of their biggest fears is the threat of break-ins and burglary. As a precautionary measure, the implementation of an alarm system for businesses can offer substantially more security. However, some systems may not operate as well as they could. The vast majority of commercial security systems have a built in delay after being initially triggered, before contacting the monitoring company. This delay can span anywhere from 30 seconds to three minutes, which can give robbers enough time to either escape or even to steal merchandise before authorities would be able to reach them. Part of the reasoning for these delays is due to the frequency of false alarms that security systems experience. An astounding 94 to 98% of alarm prompts end up being false triggers. Instances of false alarms can not only cause hassle to the owner and the monitoring company, but local authorities are required to...
