Every business needs to be aware of the security of their premises. Thankfully, today’s video security options are more advanced than ever. Installing a high-tech video surveillance security system on your property can prepare you for anything, and ensure your premise is secure. Here are some ways a surveillance video system can benefit your business. 

Maintain Security 24/7

Although you probably don’t have someone on duty surveilling your property, a video system is. If something happens that triggers the alarm, even in the early hours of the morning, it will be recording. Some systems will even send information of an alert to either your security team or the dedicated response team for further action. 

Maintain Security From a Remote Site

If you want to keep an eye on things when you are not physically on your property,  today’s commercial surveillance options will allow you to do so. In many cases, you can just log on to a computer or an app from wherever you are in the world to check up. If you travel or aren’t always on the premise to be there when something goes wrong, you’ll be notified. 

Maintain an Eye in the Sky

Today’s commercial surveillance systems can support multiple cameras located throughout your entire property. You will truly be able to see what is going on across all corners of your business. If a delivery truck pulls up to your warehouse, you’ll know about it before they finish parking. If a contractor arrives to perform maintenance work, you can be prepared to meet them before they get to the door. If you have employee contractors who need temporary access to a certain part of the building, you’ll be able to quickly grant or deny permission as you see fit. If a major incident occurs, your surveillance system could assist your security team or the local authorities with making sure the threat is taken care of.

Maintain Activity Reports

A commercial surveillance system keeps running logs of just about everything. That could be the date and time that certain people enter or leave the premises or the number of times a certain alarm has been activated. These reports could prove quite useful for everything from documenting an employee coming in late to assisting the authorities with additional information after an incident occurs. You’ll have all of the security information you need to make an informed decision whenever necessary.

Buffer Zone

Do you have an especially high-profile area on your property that needs extra security? Perhaps you are trying to keep an upcoming project under wraps or keep individuals away from a potentially dangerous spot such as a construction zone. Setting up a series of commercial surveillance cameras across your property will allow you to create a buffer zone when needed. You can start by placing cameras out near the boundaries of the property. When one of your security team members notices someone has trespassed, they can respond right away. If the trespasser ignores the warning and moves closer to the high-profile area, additional resources can be activated to stop them. You’ll be able to create a buffer that makes it very difficult for unauthorized personnel to reach a sensitive location.
