If you are opening a new business, you are likely busy getting everything set up. One thing you need to make sure you have on your list of things to do is to provide security for you and your employees. To help you below are three types of security you can choose from.

Security Alarm System

One of the best things you can do to ensure everyone and everything stays safe in your building is to install a commercial security alarm system. A security alarm system will protect your business from intruders and theft.

Sensors are placed on all exterior doors and windows. These sensors will send an alarm to the security company if they are broken into. The security company will then quickly contact the police to come to your building. Hiring a commercial security company to monitor your security is beneficial. Not only do you know everything is going to be installed correctly, but you will also have coverage 24/7.

Video Surveillance System

With a video surveillance system, you can monitor everything that goes on inside your building, as well as outside. A CCTV screen will be installed inside your building. A video surveillance camera is installed outside which connects to the CCTV screen. The images the camera captures are displayed on the CCTV screen, and these images are also recorded. Police can also use the recorded footage to have evidence of someone breaking into your building.

If an intruder walks up to a building and sees video surveillance cameras, this may cause them to leave, as they know they are being recorded.

Access Control System

With an access control system installed, your employees have to use a special key card to get into your building. This could either be required at the door or at a gate before someone enters the property. With an access control system, you can monitor who comes in and out of your building and what time they do. This also allows you to keep up with employees to ensure they are getting to work on time each day and not leaving early.

If you have rooms inside your building that only certain employees should have access to you can set up an access control system for this. For example, you may want to restrict employees from getting into computer and server rooms, rooms with electrical equipment, supply closets, and more.

Talk with a commercial security company in your area to learn much more information about these types of security options for your building.
