Crime Rising In Your Area? Get These Commercial Security Enhancements To Protect Your Business Today

If crime is rising in the area where you own commercial property and you want to make some enhancements around the property, there are a few things that you can do. There are many ways that you can cut down on your vulnerability to crime, and reduce your risks of being targeted.

You don't always just have to worry about what is going on outside the property, but inside as well. Here are a few of the things that you'll want to have installed, and that you should get quotes for to improve your safety.

Magnetic Locking Doors

Eliminating keys provides a lot of benefits for your commercial property, and you are able to do this with magnetic locking doors. You don't have to worry about the following:

• Cost of cutting keys for employees
• Fear of compromised security because of lost keys
• Changing keys and locks with employee turnover

Magnetic locks use low-voltage power to keep the door closed, and a keycode can be used to open the locks when needed. The locks can be set on a timer, and the codes can be changed easily and wirelessly when needed by management.

These are high-quality durable locking options that are easy for professionals to install. If you have areas where you need high security, consider multiple locking devices.

Professional Quality Surveillance

There are many easy-to-install camera systems that are ideal for residences or areas that don't need high security. Invest in camera systems that have:

• Motion detection lighting and recording
• IP cameras and high resolution
• Water and weatherproof
• Infrared or nighttime recording

Talk with the installation provider about the bandwidth and make sure you have enough storage options to hold onto recordings. You can set how long you hold onto the recordings.

Door and Window Alert System

Install a commercial security system that will wirelessly alert you if anyone gets into the doors or windows. This will alert you and the authorities no matter what time of the day. If you have fears of intruders while the staff is in the building, install a panic button. This system will connect with your magnetic doors and surveillance system. A commercial security system will make monitoring your property easy.

Guard Supervision

You can have a live security guard patrol your property after hours or during the day. This can be someone that you hire to be there full time for a set amount of hours, or someone that stops in throughout the night to do checks when the business is closed. Call a security guard company and find out what options are the best for your business and budget.

There are a lot of ways that you can improve security at your commercial property, and new locks, cameras, and live guards will help. Talk with a commercial security system installation company to get estimates for the installation and services you need.
