As a business/facility manager, there's a major responsibility to protect the occupants and various assets inside your building from a variety of aggressors including vagrants, upset employees, vandals, and others. Fortunately, business owners and facility managers have a wide variety of security options for safeguarding their facilities.
## Access Pads Can Monitor Who Is Leaving/Entering Building
Electronic access systems allow business owners and building managers an unparalleled degree of control. Using a computer program, you have the ability to control who can go anywhere in a building at a given time. These systems provide a log of when and where certain cards were used. If necessary, management has the ability to control electronic card access systems, granting employees certain privileges at facility doors.
Furthermore, when an employee leaves your organization, you no longer need to re-key or change the lock on every door. Employees leaving the organization have their access privileges erased from the system electronically.
## Video Monitoring Provides A Recording Of Activity
One of the most effective ways to protect your place of business, employees and customers is to integrate video surveillance into your security system, providing a watchful eye to deter crime and keep you informed.
For example, video surveillance of parking areas can greatly curb vehicle break-ins and vandalism, as well as increase the personal safety of customers and employees as they enter and exit their cars.
Many businesses use video capabilities and business security cameras to enhance their business intelligence and help put a lid on costs. Being able to utilize facial recognition can be an attractive concept for many businesses. If you haven’t reviewed your video capabilities in the past two years, you could be missing the opportunity to employ additional technology and deploy your personnel more effectively.
## Fire Alarm Systems Protect Lives
Early warning is crucial for effective fire safety, as fires can occur anytime and anyplace. Typically, we highly recommend installing fire alarms on every floor of your building, because a fire can ignite even when people are not within a room or section of the building. With a new fire alert system, you can be immediately alerted in the event of a fire, if your system is connected to a remote monitoring station. Early warning fire systems are critical to life safety for several reasons:
- Improve evacuation time for building occupants before a fire spreads out of control.
- Emergency medical help can be immediately requested for those in need.
- Fire department personnel can help people exit the building safely.
## Enhance Security With An Emergency Intercom
If you have visitors coming in and out of your facility and need help to better manage the process, an intercom system may be the solution to your pain. Intercom systems are an extension to your access control system, allowing you to know your visitors the moment they arrive, granting real-time access to customers and guests. With the appropriate intercom system you'll be able to view visitors and allow them entrance, control who is coming in and leaving, connect it to your intrusion security system, and even install emergency intercoms in the case of an emergency to alert visitors or customers of the situation and guide them to safety.
## Intrusion Systems Monitor Building Security 24/7
The security of your employees and facilities depends on your system’s ability to quickly detect and communicate an intrusion anytime and anywhere it happens to occur. With all your security applications working in tandem, incidents can be instantly detected, identified, reported, and acted on.
With an intrusion monitoring system, motion sensors and window contacts automatically send alarms to command central when an intrusion event occurs in a secured zone. Security personnel can then respond immediately. Real-time, actionable alerts mean faster response and greater protection for your employees and property.
### United Security Incorporated | Security For Businesses
When it comes to the security of your building, it's best not to leave it up to chance. Be sure that you have made every effort possible to keep your property, employees, and visitors well protected. If you have any concerns, you should consider having your security measures evaluated by a reputable company.
- Have you completed your annual or biannual fire inspection?
- Are the backup batteries for the fire system dated?
- Are all hall way emergency lights operating?
At USI our security assessments provide these answers and many others that are pertinent to security technology and your building.
