How Commercial Security Systems Protect Your Business
We’ve all seen news stories about local businesses getting broken in. Whether it’s broken windows or getting equipment stolen, not having a reliable security system can lead to serious physical and financial damage to your business. But having safety measures in place before anything happens can keep you and your business protected.

Protect Your Employees
Having a safe environment will also make your employees more productive. They’ll be able to focus on the task at hand instead of constantly needing to monitor anyone who walks into your business or face other potential distractions. Installing something like a door contact, which will ring any time a door is opened, on your front or back door will let employees know any time someone is going in or out. Door contacts and other alarm systems will also prevent customers from entering employee-only areas.
Having cameras outside of your business also provides an extra layer of protection by monitoring all outside activity and when they leave your business such as while walking to their car at night. Installing emergency detectors like carbon monoxide and smoke detectors will also keep them safe by monitoring smoke or any leaks. You and your employees will immediately be alerted and be able to take proper action.
Monitor Your Business Remotely
Unlike having to go on-site to view the camera footage, this gives you the flexibility and convenience to monitor your cameras from any place at any time. With live footage from various angles, you can access your cameras from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Some units will also allow you to arm or disarm your alarm system remotely.
Another key benefit is that you can let specific users access the system and receive notifications about any alarm status changes. This is especially helpful when your business is closed as it can alert you of any motion and set off the alarm system if a break-in were to occur.
Deter Crimes
While you can’t prevent every possible burglary and theft, having protective measures in place can help deter crimes. In 2019, the annual National Retail Security Survey found that the largest losses per incident came from robberies at an average of $2,885.15, followed by employee theft at $1,264.10 and shoplifting/organized retail crime at $546.67.
Having a security system in place will help you and your employees be aware of any suspicious activity going on. Visible cameras outside of your business also signify that you have an alarm system in place and can potentially stop criminals from targeting your business. If a crime does occur inside your business, you’ll be able to use that camera footage when filing a police report.
