This should set off an alarm: According to the most recent statistics, commercial break-ins accounted for 28 per cent of all Canadian break-ins. Choosing an alarm monitoring service for your business provides protection for your company’s assets while making the working environment safer for you and your employees.
Picking a monitoring service that uses a wireless alarm system may the way to go for your business as it sends the alarm or notification wirelessly via a cellphone or WiFi system. A call would be sent when an alarm breach is discovered and the authorities contacted if there is no answer or a proper pass code is not given.
Some other pros to think about:
a) A wireless alarm system is easy to install into an existing business as most security systems are added after a structure has been built. Adding running wires to sensors throughout your business can be difficult.
b) There are easy to move. If you change addresses, it’s easy to take down your alarm system and move it to your new place of business.
c) If you are renting your business space, which most people do, your agreement might not allow you put holes in the walls to run wires. There are no issues with a wireless system.
Remote video monitoring is also an aspect that should be looked into when choosing a service as it can help reduce false alarms, provide alerts to smart phones and help prevent crimes in progress with real-time alerts that are sent to security or police.
Whether you need basic monitoring to fully integrated systems, a good monitoring service should be able to design and install an alarm system to suit your needs.
