In the past you might well have just had a burglar alarm or a security light in order to keep your home or business safe. Now though, there are plenty of more complex options which will give you a more complete security, and you’ll be able to guarantee that your valuable are as safe as is possible. Integrated security is a way of making sure that a business, council or residential property is completely safe. That includes information, property and assets as well. CCTV, alarms, access control as well as other systems of monitoring a building are available, and they can all work in conjunction with each other in order to give a full solution. Access Control Access control is a particularly important element of integrated security. It enables the owner to control who has the ability to enter a building and when, and if there are any security issues such as theft or data protection, it’s possible to look through a log and get an exact match on who was on the premises at the time of the incident. Simply give your staff smart cards or swipes, keys or even install fingerprint technology. Alarms Intruder alarms work in three different ways. They can be used to alert security to a potential incident, even if they’re off site at the time. They also alert anyone else in the area that there is a problem, and this could include neighbours who will alert the police. Thirdly, the intruder is likely to be put off by a loud, attention attracting noise as it will hugely increase their chances of being caught red handed. Integrated security systems can combine alarms with alerts, as well as triggering door lock downs within the building, preventing further damage or even trapping the intruder until the police can arrive and resolve the situation. These systems can be used absolutely anywhere, and even in open spaces. CCTV is one of the most effective forms of integrated security because they can be used to prove the crime, and even as evidence in court after the incident. Integrated security solutions are tailored to your business to make sure that you are covered in every way that you need to be, giving you peace of mind and plenty of insurance methods. Any requirements you have can be met, and you can be sure that there is no holes in your system.
