Does My Small Business Really Need A Security System?

How Security Systems Benefit Small Businesses

Theft Prevention
Thieves threaten businesses of all sizes. Whether a business has 1 store or 100, they are susceptible to theft, trespassing, and vandalism. Your small business may be even more likely to be targeted than other large companies that already have extensive security systems in place, as many thieves know which businesses are well protected and not worth the risk. By protecting small businesses with security cameras and security alarm systems, you are preemptively reducing your risk of theft. Criminals are less likely to try to break in or steal from a business that has a camera visible or that triggers an alarm if a window is broken or a door opened. Security cameras and alarm systems aren’t just to catch criminals in the act, they are used to actively prevent theft before it happens.

Supervision
As a small business owner, you are hands-on almost all the time, but your life can’t be solely about work. Being away from your small business can be very hard for some people and they want some reassurance that they can check in on occasion to make sure everything is going smoothly. When you need some time off, feel confident that you can leave your small business in the hands of your employees. With video surveillance, you have the ability to check in on your employees by accessing the video feed from your smart device wherever you are. This gives you the freedom to leave work without feeling stressed out that things are falling apart without you there.

Insurance And Security Expense Savings
Even if your small business (hopefully) never has to deal with theft, having a security system in place can still save you money. Some insurance companies will offer lower rates to businesses with good security systems in place. This can save you a lot of money over time. Using security systems with features such as access control can also help save your small business money. This system uses automatic keycards so you never have to worry about yourself or employees losing your company key and needing to replace the locks on your business.

Environmental Monitoring
Security systems protect your small business from more than just theft. Environmental monitoring is used to alert you when there is a problem due to environmental factors within your commercial space. This can be a fire, a burst pipe, a carbon monoxide leak, or more. This security feature can save your business from devastating disasters and, more importantly, can keep you, your staff, and your clients safe.
