Perhaps one of the nicest features of modern building security systems is that you’re able to monitor the site remotely, even from anywhere in the world. This means that out of hours monitoring can be achieved effectively with the correct CCTV cameras installed, meaning that there is a reduced need to have an on-site guard. CCTV cameras are now even cheaper and easier to install than before with wireless technologies available making full coverage of your site less hassle. You’ll also want to ensure intruders are kept out, which means installing an alert system with effective sensors. To ensure the utmost safety you’ll need to have your security system regularly checked and maintained.
- Alert System
There are two main types of intruder alarm alerts: motion-based or sound alerts. You can also set to alerts for all activities. Which kind of alert you require depends on the type of activity your business is in. As the building manager you can also choose to be alerted via email, push-alert, and also request an audible notification.
- Camera Features
All CCTV cameras are designed differently for different uses, e.g. to detect motion, suitable for low-level light, or rugged outdoor cameras with super-wide angles.
