Commercial Sector Monitoring

Crime against the business sector is increasing with six out of ten businesses being victims of crime in the last year. Crime costs businesses £19 million annually and 10% have lost business as a consequence of crime.(BCC Survey 2004).

Incidents of fire, theft, break-ins or vandalism can seriously disturb day-to-day business operations. Damage to property, building premises, trade disruption, increased insurance costs and low staff morale are just some of the outcomes of crime. Burglary is amongst the most common type of crime experienced by businesses.

Crime against businesses affect all sectors of the economy. ADT's integrated security solutions maximise overall protection and work with businesses to create more secure environments, whilst staff are on or away from site.

Where it is impossible or uneconomical to use an on-site observation facility, or a high value site needs to be protected 24-7, remote monitored CCTV can be an effective and economical solution.

67% of firms considered faster police response to be fairly effective in reducing crime against their business. ADT's remote monitoring centre has been accredited with the BS8418 , which means that we can summon police response efficiently when an incident occurs.

Some of the benefits of CCTV monitoring:

• Peace of mind knowing that your property is monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week
• Fully endorsed by UK's leading insurers
• If there is an attempted burglary or attack, ADT will alert the emergency services to attend
• Ability to interact, respond and control all levels of access to site
• Highly skilled and dedicated analysts responding to activations, reducing the number of false police outs
• Can provide visual alarm confirmation for police response purposes
• A more effective and economical alternative to manned guarding
• By using non-dialling technology, your telephone line will not be interrupted

ADT provides monitoring of intruder, personal attack, fire detection  and building management systems. When an alarm is activated, the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) operators will immediately notify the emergency services in the event of a fire, break-in or personal attack. Keyholders and building managers are notified to ensure that the premises is secure after an incident and to ensure that action is taken in the event of a potentially damaging power cut.
