As a business owner you know how important it is to keep track of every penny. When every purchase must be considered carefully it can be easy to overlook the importance of a security system. But losing money or products to employee theft or burglary can end up costing far more over time than the average security system. Businesses are vulnerable to a number of crimes including robbery, vandalism, fraud, and shoplifting. The result of recovering from these crimes can cost your business thousands of dollars each year. If your business isn’t currently protected by a reliable security system, here are some things to consider.

Crime Deterrent

Simply having an alarm and camera system installed and clearly labeled in your business can act as a deterrent. In many cases would-be criminals will change their mind about committing any crime if they know they’re being video recorded. After-hours prowlers will also think twice about trying to break in if they’re aware that you have an alarm system installed.

Access Control

Having greater control over who can access your business greatly diminishes the potential for any crime. In some business settings it can be appropriate to keep the door locked at all times except when employees need to gain access. Having an access control system integrated into your overall security plan will greatly reduce crime. In the case of retail businesses, access control can still be very important for nights and weekends when your business is closed.

Immediate Notification Of Intrusion

In the event of a break-in, you can rest assured that you and the police will be notified immediately. Many security systems include glassbreak sensors and motion detectors that will trigger the alarm and let you know the moment it happens. With modern security systems, you can even sync your system to an app on your smartphone and have full access to the alarm at any time.

Minimal Fire Damage

A well thought out security system can include fire and smoke detection. Having this integrated into your overall security system means immediate response in the event of a fire. Fire response will occur immediately after the alarm is triggered.

A Security System Will Save You Money

For all the protection a security system gives your business it will save you money in the end. From reducing the risks of theft and vandalism to minimizing damages caused by fire, they are worth the initial investment.
