Security systems in businesses and commercial premises.
The protection of businesses and all kinds of business premises from risks is a very complex and sometimes costly process. Our top priority is to safeguard the personnel and property of every business from malicious actions; however, the needs of each site are different.
For example, businesses located on the ground floor place more emphasis on perimeter security than other commercial premises located on the first floor. In addition, businesses such as those in retail, catering, etc., which have cash registers or safes, have different needs in terms of the security systems they need to install.
That is why the recognition of the security needs of each individual customer and the specificity of each site determine to a large extent the effectiveness and functionality of the systems, but also the overall cost of the installation. To create a secure professional environment that safeguards human life and property, the following security systems are usually adopted, either independently or in combination:
Alarm and monitoring systems.
The alarm system becomes a prerequisite for the security of business premises and enterprises, especially during non-operational hours. Incorporating sensors of various capacities detect possible intrusion and signal an alarm. The capabilities provided by each site determine whether it is feasible to install a wired or wireless system. For the protection of products or objects, depending on the type of business premises, there are corresponding anti-theft systems which, in combination with modern electronic surveillance systems, are used to control doors and provide the possibility of detecting unauthorized removal of objects from the premises of a business or shop.
An additional level of security in a business premises is the installation of a closed-circuit monitoring system. Its presence alone is capable of acting as a deterrent to offenders. Even in the extreme case that they are not deterred, the closed-circuit surveillance is the key tool for identification and detection by the authorities.
Modern closed-circuit surveillance systems consist of security cameras with excellent resolution and integrated video analytics. In many cases, they are combined with recorders so that events can be stored and used in the future. With remote monitoring capability, security cameras are a reliable ally for any professional who wants to control their business.
Access control and electronic surveillance systems.
When it comes to business premises, it is obvious that access to these areas cannot be unrestricted. Particularly when referring to office spaces that do not involve the public. Entry and exit to these spaces or even to a specific section within the business, can be effectively controlled by an access control system.
Access control can be carried out by password, card, face recognition, biometrics or a combination. In addition to preventing unauthorized access to persons, it is also possible to collect useful information on the length of stay of authorized persons.
Fire Alarm, detection and extinguishing systems.
The fire detection system is an integral part of the security of every business premises. The timely detection and extinguishing of any fire outbreak can prevent both property damage and be life-saving for the physical integrity of staff and visitors to a business premises.
Even companies that are not legally required to submit a fire safety study, it is good to know some basic procedures in case of need. The modern technology that security systems now incorporate enables security companies to propose more and more reliable solutions for the installation of integrated systems, which cover even the most sophisticated needs of each business.
In any case, our company’s role is particularly decisive in terms of the proper design, installation and operation of each system, recognizing how important safety is for all of us.
