Security System Basics
When you're looking to protect your home or business from theft, vandalism, or other harms, you have a variety of options to look into. Vendors in these areas can set you up with one — or multiple — solutions. Your vendor should walk you through your options to make an informed decision for your best interests.
- Video Surveillance: A comprehensive closed circuit television (CCTV) system includes several cameras, multiple operators, and digital recorders to provide protection for any type of business. CCTV can help businesses catch shoplifters, dishonest employees, and provide 24x7 monitoring of cash registers and inventory.
- Monitored Alarm: Monitored security alarms feature a series of alarms, detectors, and window contacts to deter burglars, discourage employee theft, and ensure employee safety. The alarms detect unauthorized entry with the help of a monitoring center that dispatches authorities to the scene as necessary.
- Home security: This system offers an array of devices that detect intruder motion, damage to windows, and changes in room temperature. Loud audible alarms notify neighbors and passers-by that your home's safety has been compromised.
- Access control: Access control systems can consist of simple electronic keypads that secure a single door or large networked systems for multiple buildings that can include parking lot gates, integration with time tracking systems, and multiple levels of security.
- Fire alarm: This system includes detectors, alarms, and other equipment to alert building occupants in the event of fire emergencies. The system may also include several types of audible and visible indicators to signal a problem.
