Business Security Systems Asbury Park NJ | Commercial Surveillance
Your business might not be as secure as you think it is. A bold claim? Perhaps. When you consider many of the holes that business owners have in their security game, though, it doesn’t seem as far-fetched as you may have initially thought. There is a whole host of weaknesses in many business security systems and just as many countermeasures you can use to make your premises a safer place for you and your property.
WHAT’S MISSING FROM YOUR BUSINESS?
Many businesses ignore the essentials: solid locks and tightly fastened windows. For a criminal to gain access to your business, they have to circumvent your physical security measures first. If these are weak, any thief worth their salt will have an easy time waltzing in and going to town. Cheap locks, exposed hinges, and old fashioned door frames spell opportunity to a seasoned burglar. A better solution? Heavy-duty doors, secured with a form of keyless access. No lock for intruders to pick, and much more difficult to force open.
If you’re using obsolete camera technology as your commercial surveillance solution, you’re inviting criminals to take advantage of it. Older cameras have poor resolution, along with a single, narrow point-of-focus. A savvy crook can evade an old CCTV system’s line of sight, or obscure their features knowing full well the camera isn’t capable of picking up much detail. A modern surveillance system with multiple cameras, greater resolution, and a wider field of view are often the way to go.
No safe is completely burglar proof. A good safe, however, will give even the deftest hands reason to pause. If a safe can be cracked with simple hand tools, it will hardly provide protection against even the most novice petty criminals. Business safes should be hardened, and difficult to penetrate quickly. Solid steel construction, personal access codes, electronic locks, and the ability to be bolted to the floor are a must for any modern safe designed to hold business goods.
And what of lights and alarms? It doesn’t take a security expert to tell you that lighting should be ample in any place of business. A solid alarm system will work in conjunction with your other security layers to alert you when intruders are targeting you. It will send out a call to the authorities, and, in the case of proper business alarms, will be monitored 24/7, so you have outside support should an emergency strike. If your alarm is up to snuff, it might even be enough to deter criminals from making an attempt.
HOW TO STAY PREPARED
By far, one of the biggest mistakes business owners make is relying on one form of security to do everything. No system is completely foolproof, which is why security layering is so important to keep a business safe.
