It’s a sad fact of modern day life in the UK that crime, in
particular violent crime, is on the increase. You only have to listen to
the news to see this.
Leaving your premises unsecured is an open invitation to burglars and vandals. But, if you take the right precautions, it is possible to protect yourself and deter perpetrators from even thinking about gaining unlawful entry.
Whether your shop premises are in a town centre or village location, it is essentially the building is made safe – both physically and electronically. That means having robust locks and shutter doors fitted. This is your first line of defence when the unit is unoccupied.
But it is equally important to have intruder alarms installed and you may also want to consider panic buttons and a CCTV system.
CCTV is now a cost-effective option
In line with the rising threat, it is no surprise that we have seen a marked increase in our CCTV business over the years. This level of surveillance was once the exclusive domain of the big brand stores, but times have changed. As technological sophistication has improved, the cost of installing CCTV equipment has fallen. Consequently, more and more of our customers are now seeing the benefit of this type of system, especially when it is installed in conjunction with one of our monitored intruder alarm systems.
Indeed, monitored electronic security is extremely important because it provides early notification of when a premise has been breached. And if CCTV equipment is fitted, an intruder is far less likely to make a break-in attempt than if there were no surveillance cameras in operation.
