Top Tips When Choosing Your First Business Security System

Many businesses will have to face a business security audit at some point. Explore what’s involved and how to prepare for your next security audit here.

Top Tips When Choosing Your First Business Security System

Security is a crucial part of owning a business. Certainly, there’s a lot of choices out there and if this your first time shopping for business security, the choice can seem a little overwhelming. However, by keeping in mind a few simple tips, you can choose a business security system that suits your needs. We run down the key factors below.

1. Choose the right CCTV cameras

CCTV is an integral part of robust business security systems. However, it’s important to shop around for a package that suits your specific needs. Firstly, it’s important to make sure that choose the right type of camera. Some are better adapted to large spaces with wide panning options, whereas others are designed to be discreet and well hidden. Some may even have night vision options.

Another thing you’ll need to consider is how many cameras you’ll need. However, if you’re hiring a professional security company to install the equipment, they’ll be able to advise on how to best cover the space. Equally, it might be better to have high-definition cover in certain areas, as opposed to having the entire space captured on CCTV.

2. Install alarms and alerts

Alarms and sensors are an important part of any business security solution. However, alarms, sensors, and security alerts can monitor more than intruders. They can also detect things like fire, flooding or gas leaks, keeping your insurance premiums down as well as securing your property.

Now, many professional security providers can supply you with alerts and alarms redirected to your smartphone, as well as installing the system. With these alerts, you can choose which incidents you’re notified of. For instance, you can receive alerts from motion detectors when the premises are closed. However, if your business is based in a busy, communal building, this might not be suitable.

3. Get a scalable contract

However, the physical space of your premises isn’t the only thing you need to consider. Your long-term business goals will play an important role as well. If your business is set to grow, you want to make sure your contract is scalable. Therefore, before signing on the dotted line with the professional security agency of your choice, make sure there’s the opportunity to change your plan or add options.

Choose the right business security system

Security is integral to the smooth running of your system and your system needs to grow with your business. By following these steps, you can ensure your operation is protected – now and into the future.
