Every business needs a security system custom-tailored to their unique needs and security risks. But why? What does one of these systems provide, and what can it do for your company?
Overall Commercial Security
Obviously, a commercial security system protects your premises, people, and inventory. They protect these aspects of your commercial entity from burglaries while also providing some peace-of-mind. But the key to such a system working well for you and your business is its customization to your needs. You need a system that works hard for you when you are not on the property. To have this protection, consider a commercial system with attributes like:
- Security cameras
- Video surveillance with extended storage capabilities
- Fire alarms with smoke and CO2 monitors
- Smart technologies
Burglary and Break-In Protection
Commercial security systems exist to provide protection against break-ins and burglaries. They keep intruders out of your property through hard-wired or wireless technology that includes:
- Motion sensors
- Glass breakage sensors
- Audible sirens with monitoring
- Indoor and outdoor cameras
- Advanced control panels
- Two-way audio to communicate directly with dispatchers
If you purchase a system with crash-and-smash protection, the system continues to provide property protection even if someone attempts to break into it by damaging the control panel.
Fire Alarms with CO2 and Smoke Detectors
Every commercial property needs fire protection as much as they need burglary protection. Quality commercial security systems include CO2 and smoke detectors as they keep your workers safe from these dangerous fumes, as well as fire.
Having these capabilities is certainly wise. But you must also properly install, maintain, and inspect your security and fire alarm systems regularly. Doing so is critical for maintaining the integrity of security and keeping these technologies up to date.
Central Monitoring
Central monitoring provides emergency notification to the stakeholders in your property and first responders when incidents occur. The best commercial security systems include immediate notification, timely event reporting, trained attendants, and ongoing mobile alerts.
Smart Technologies
A quality security system for a commercial property provides smart technologies for 24/7 monitoring and control of your system from wherever you are in the world. You do not have to be on-site or at a security guard’s station in order to see what is happening in every corner of your property. You can review the business’ and employees’ activities from any WiFi-connected device, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, or desktop computers. You see everything in real-time.
From your smart tech panel on your connected device, you can have access to all of your key security services like:
- Camera systems
- Energy monitors and thermostats
- Smart locks
- Glass break detectors
- Audible sirens
- Alarms and motion detectors
- Video monitors and storage
Employee Supervision
All business owners prefer to think that their employees work just as hard when unsupervised as they do when you are on site. We also hope for the highest level of employee integrity. But sometimes, there are problems that we do not see until these issues grow.
Having a quality commercial security system enables you to remotely check-in with your workers any time of day and from elsewhere. You can do so without detection and gain a clearer view of the true inner workings of your establishment. Video monitoring and storage also provides valuable documentation of events should unexpected issues arise.
Coverage for the Unexpected
Overall, your security system provides coverage for the unexpected. You cannot be on your commercial property 24/7. So the system exists to serve in your place and at all times of the day. Should an incident occur, emergency crews are immediately notified along with your designated stakeholders?
It is important to understand all of these commercial security systems’ capabilities and how these systems differ from household monitoring devices. Your commercial property, employees, and inventory are worth so much to the value of your business. They require the level of control, monitoring, and protection that only a commercial quality system can offer.
