    4 Types of Commercial Security That Keep Businesses On Lock

    It’s no secret that burglar alarms are a strong deterrent to theft, but did you know that 83% of convicted burglars say that they would attempt to find out if an alarm was present before trying to burglarize? Having a commercial security system in place is especially prudent for businesses that have significant assets that need protection. The question, then, is what type of business security solutions will work best for your company? Types of Security Systems Video Surveillance is a staple in the securities industry. It allows you to watch your cameras remotely for any malicious actors attempting to burgle your business. There are a couple of flaws, though. First, the resolution of these cameras can be quite poor unless you shell out a bit of extra cash. Second, and more importantly, they require someone watching them in order to prevent crimes. They might be a strong deterrent, but if a...

    Armed Robbery Of a Lowe’s Store Emphasizes Necessity Of Security Systems

    When an alarm system is activated, the majority of the time -- 94 to 98% -- the activation is false. Yet on June 26, the activation of an alarm system on Woodbury-Glassboro Road was anything but false. A Burlington County woman and a Camden County man were arrested for the suspected armed robbery of a Lowe's store in Sewell. During the robbery, a credit card was stolen and used later on June 26 in Cape May City. The Cape May City Police Department received a seemingly unrelated report the next day regarding a stolen vehicle. A 2016 Land Rover had been stolen from Central Avenue's 400 block in Cape May Point. However, the Land Rover surprisingly was used in the Mantua robbery after which it was recovered during the investigation. The suspects of the Lowe's robbery were later identified by police as 22-year-old Mercedes Stockton, of Willingboro, and 21-year-old William Baberick, of Haddon...

    4 Commonly Stolen Items for Security Systems Philadelphia Retailers to Protect

    Shoplifting is a notoriously difficult issue for any company to prevent. It’s simply impossible for someone to keep an eye on every person who enters a store. Worst of all, it has a serious impact. Shoplifting was responsible for about 38% of the $44 million of inventory shrink experienced by American retailers, while another 34.5% was lost to employee theft. What's even more amazing, though, is what gets stolen. Here are just a few of the most commonly shoplifted items: Meat: Many retailers are being left wondering, where’s the beef? Shockingly, meat has proven to be a favorite amongst shoplifters. The pieces stolen are most often the top-quality cuts, such as filet mignon or lamb chops. Razors: You’ve probably noticed the giant glass cases of razors when wandering through the store, or have at least seen the commercials complaining of how difficult it can be to actually purchase them. However, it would seem...

    Secure Your Facility After a Burglary

    No one ever expects it. You think you’re prepared, that you have taken the appropriate precautions to prevent such a thing to happen. Then your business is burgled. Now what? It is a very traumatic experience when a business gets burgled. You feel as though a part of you has been violated. Important documents, electronic files and/or product could be missing that you may never get back. You must think to yourself, how did this happen? What went wrong? Did I set the alarms? Do I have the right security system? These are all questions that should be flowing through your mind after such a traumatic occurrence. These questions need answers. The first issue that should be addressed is to review your security system. The security system you had was supposed to prevent the burglar from breaking in, so what happened? It was probably a conventional alarm system that wasn’t good enough...

    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...

    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 ...
