Why Your Business Needs a Security System

Owning a business is stressful enough without adding loss of product, compromising client information, and potentially exposing your employees to harm. That’s why your business needs a security system–ith’s the best thing you can do as an owner to protect yourself. Your best bet is to have a system designed specifically for your needs–that’s where we come in. Some of the reasons a company may install a security system includes:

• Professional Appearance–Security systems give customers peace of mind, knowing that their information and well-being is your top priority. A security system allows them to feel more secure working with your business and helps the understand that you’re a professional, security-minded company with their best interests at heart.
• Decrease Theft–A professionally installed camera can be a large deterrent to employee and client theft. Strategically placed cameras (over the cash register and in a back room are two good places) can deter theft, increase productivity, and encourage proactive customer service.
• Lower Insurance–Installing a security system by a licensed installer such as APS Montana can reduce the cost of your insurance premium. Many insurance providers require that businesses install some form of security in their facility. They may provide great discounts on monthly insurance payments to those who have security systems installed.
• Protection–Additionally, there are also many people who make fraudulent claims against businesses. These claims can be made by customers and your own employees. With a visible CCTV security camera system, there is less likelihood that such a false claim will be made. By using surveillance cameras correctly, you will be able to check the validity of any claim made against you.
• Employee Safety–Depending on the nature of the company, employees may interact with customers, work alone in an enclosed cubicle or space, or even work in potentially dangerous situations. Many business security systems include remote controls, video monitoring and recording and one-touch emergency buttons that all help ensure personal safety. If an employee witnesses suspicious behavior, has an unsettling interaction with a customer, or suffers from an accident, these measures can help keep them safe by documenting the incident and calling for help. The additional peace of mind associated with security cameras will likely result in happier and more productive employees.
• Another obvious purpose of using a security system for your business is to prevent unauthorized entry in your facility. Burglars are always looking to get their hands into your assets. Some burglars simply look for cash left in your register, while others look to steal your inventory, depending on the nature of your business. In rare cases, there are some people who may break into your business for no added reason at all, other than feeling the thrill. A good burglar alarm, installed by a reputable security company like I-Tech Security can protect you from this activity.
