5 WAYS TO SECURE YOUR SMALL BUSINESS

Marc Camp • September 7, 2023

Owning a small business can be incredibly rewarding but at the same time very stressful and overwhelming. As a small business owner, you always have many plates spinning. One of them may be the safety and security of your business property. That’s a plate we can take off your hands. A Barcom Security-Small Business Specialist can do an analysis of your business property and show you how we can create a custom system right for your needs.

We have helped just about every type of small business there is. Restaurants, retail shops, gaming parlors, warehouses, and many more. Whatever your small business, we have a security system that is right for you. Here are 5 ways Barcom Security-Small Business Specialists can put your mind at ease.

1. ACCESS CONTROL

Who can access your business and during what time is vital to securing your property and allows you to easily manage who is coming and going. Issuing actual keys to all employees is outdated and no longer necessary. An access control system installed by Barcom Security is hassle free through the use of key fobs or access cards. You can control when employees have the capability to unlock doors, enter controlled areas, and know who is going where and when. You can activate or deactivate cards, manage users, and assign access levels almost immediately. Using a mobile app, you can also lock and unlock doors remotely.

2. BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEMS

There are definitely some folks that you absolutely do not want to have access to your business at any time. You can protect your business and employees from intruders and vandalism with a monitored burglar alarm system. Our Small Business Specialist will do a thorough walk through of your property to assess key areas for the risk of intrusion. Doors and windows of course, but we can see potential risks for unwanted entry that might otherwise go undetected. With the proper sensors in place, when an unwanted visitor attempts to make entry, our 5 Diamond Certified Central Monitoring Station will be notified and within seconds, you and the proper authorities will be alerted to the scene.

3. VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

While cameras are often the first thing a business owner thinks of when it comes to securing their building, cameras don’t call the police. So, the previously discussed alarm system offers the best opportunity to stop an intrusion in progress and catch the bad guy. The value of video is that it provides real-time, on demand 24/7 remote access to surveillance and the capability to review past footage. You and your employees can check the cameras to see if there is anyone loitering around in the parking lot before heading to their cars. If you should experience a break-in, it can provide crucial evidence. Having a video surveillance system puts your eyes on your business at all times, even when you are at home or on vacation.

4. PANIC BUTTONS

It’s a different world than it used to be. We can no longer just assume that everyone that enters your business is there for benevolent reasons. Panic buttons allow employees to simultaneously activate multiple devices silently and discreetly. They can notify the proper authorities and even lock down certain areas of your building, providing a safe space for you employees to harbor in, if they feel threatened.

5. FIRE ALARMS AND MONITORING

Barcom Security can custom design and install a commercial fire alarm system for your small business. Our designers are experienced in all facets of fire system design that meet required codes. Our design team builds systems that seamlessly integrate into other security elements like video surveillance, access control, and burglar alarm systems. Our locally owned 5 Diamond Certified Central Monitoring Station offers some of the quickest response times in the industry, should there be a triggering event.
