    3 Fire Detection Features Your Business Needs

    A fire can be devastating for any business. Unfortunately, in the United States, fire departments respond to a fire every 24 seconds. While you cannot prevent every fire from happening, what you can do is use fire detection systems to help detect fires and get those fires put out as quickly as possible, minimizing the fire damage. Here are a few fire detection features that your business can benefit from. 1. Smoke Detection A smoke detection system is a tried and true method for detecting fires in a home or business early on.

    Where Should You Have Security Cameras Installed?

    Security cameras are crucial to securing schools, commercial properties, offices, and other heavily trafficked spaces. They prevent employee theft and keep intruders from breaking in and stealing valuables. According to the Electronic Security Association, a study of convicted burglars by the University of North Carolina found that about 83% of the burglars stated that they would try to check if there was an alarm before proceeding with the burglary.

    Why Are Alarms So Important?

    Statistics show that significantly more break-ins happen during the last 2 weeks of the year, specifically the weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year's, than any other time of the year. These two weeks provide some of the first really cold weather of the season and create empty streets with plentiful stock available in stores. Jewelry and other easily cashed valuables are in abundance and highly targeted. That means there's more opportunity for burglars during the last two weeks of the year than at any other time. Valuables and Opportunities Lead to Thievery It's that simple. Whenever you have a situation where retail businesses have an abnormally high amount of stock, such as during the holidays when running out of stock on a critical item can endanger an entire business, thieves will try to take advantage. Daytime theft tends to be pilferage and shoplifting. Thieves during the daytime steal items of...
