Now is the time to consider looking into all the commercial security systems Philadelphia has to offer. Furthermore, you shouldn't invest in random business security solutions.

    3 Advantages of Verified Business Alarms

    Alarm systems can be found in one out of every seven businesses. However, the majority of these systems are equipped with a built-in delay before your monitoring company is contacted. The length of the delay can range from 30 seconds to as long as three minutes. Verified security systems have changed that, and Sonitrol describes three advantages of choosing verified alarm systems for your business. 1. False Alarm Reduction. Between 94% and 98% of all alarm triggers are false alarms. By offering two unique types of verified alarms (audio intrusion detection and live-monitored video), the number of false alarms is greatly reduced. Unlike conventional burglar detection systems, verified alarms are closely monitored by trained specialists. By carefully listening and watching, they're able to use this technology to distinguish between a false alarm and a burglary in progress at your business. 2. Valuable Footage of Events. Verified video systems provide video footage of events before and...

    Why a DIY Security System is Bad For Business

    If you're a business owner, your organization's success is probably your top priority. It's understandable that you'd be concerned about your bottom line and make efforts to eliminate any unnecessary expenses. Unfortunately, that could cause you to make poor decisions regarding your office security. In today's digitally powered world, there are DIY tutorials for just about everything. But just because it's possible for someone to handle a task themselves doesn't mean they should. Trying to set up and maintain your own commercial security products will often result in unintended and negative consequences. Let's take a look at a few of the risks you might take by DIYing your office security system, rather than working with a professional security company. You Might Install Products Improperly Alarm systems, video surveillance, and other essential components of any office security system should be installed by the professionals. When you attempt to do this yourself, you could very well overlook the...

    Attention Property Managers: Is Your Commercial Property Secure?

    Crime never sleeps! The people who work in your commercial office building depend on you to keep them and their property safe. 1 - Do you know who has access to your building? If you own or manage a multi-tenant office building, then you are particularly susceptible to the dangers of crime. Unauthorized individuals are often free to enter and roam around your property without being detected. By carefully regulating who has access to your property you can ensure you safeguard your tenants from potential theft. By installing managed access control you can make sure that only authorized tenants have access to your property. 2 - Do you have a robust security system installed? If you think you have a robust security solution installed but you are still using conventional CCTV systems then you need to rethink your property’s entire security. By implementing an integrated Sonitrol verified security solution, your property and the tenants within it will be properly...

    Law Enforcements Trusts the Sonitrol Security Brand

    Since 1977, Sonitrol Security has assisted with the capture of over 175,000 criminals.
