When referring to business security, the overall conception is that it is basically just a security alarm system. But in actual fact business security is far more involved and complex just as the business itself. Each and every business is unique and requires a different security solution based on the actual type of business itself.
There are many types of business security solutions, for instance:
- Drop safes
This security feature is predominately used by the majority of retail stores who work with large amounts of cash on a daily basis to ensure that all cash is inaccessible to employees as well as robbers making it an effective robbery deterrent.
- Reinforced entry locations
Reinforced windows and doors have proven to benefit all businesses who deal with valuable items.
- Security Alarm systems
A security alarm system will benefit any business no matter the size, however, the type of alarm system depend on the business itself and the exact requirements. For example, one can get a security alarm system for after business hours security access control use which consists of a keypad/password panel that is linked to motion detection systems. These types of business security systems enables only authorised people with the security passwords to enter the premises and will trigger an alarm if any authorised entry occurs. The types of alarm systems vary, as one has the choice of linking the system to a security company and police when the alarm is triggered, or simply to the owners of the business only, or just a siren with no back up response what so ever.
Silent security alarm systems and panic buttons are utilised mostly by casinos as well as banks to ensure that authorities are all alerted and dispatched to the business to assist in case of a robbery without placing the customers, management and employees lives in danger by causing panic amongst the robbers.
- Armed Security guards
This security measure is commonly used by businesses that deal with large amounts of cash and/or valuable goods and/or have large vehicle parking bays for all of their employees and/or have night shift staff.
