Cost Effective Security Solutions

As a small business owner, with limited budgets, it’s not possible to invest in every type of security solution. However, through a combination of physical barriers, electronic alarm systems, access control and lighting, you can dramatically increase protection of your staff, stock and premises.

The result? You cut down on risk and your insurance premiums.

CCTV is effective at monitoring high risk areas and provides a valuable deterrent to customer and staff theft.
Do you need evidence for prosecutions? Digital recording provides high quality images that can also be used in court cases.
CCTV linked to the cash register can help deter and detect employee theft. All the images are accompanied by the actual till point receipt.
If you have CCTV you need to tell visitors and staff. Signs ensure compliance with the Data Protection Act and help to prevent opportunistic and planned theft.
Remote monitoring of your intruder alarm system provides additional peace of mind if your store isn’t manned 24-hours a day.
If you are increasingly suffering from customer theft, an Electronic Article Surveillance (tagging) system is an effective deterrent. It allows stock to be openly displayed, but at the same time provides a visual and physical restraint for thieves.
Access control systems provide additional protection for vulnerable areas, enabling you to control access to stock rooms, the manager’s office and behind the counter.
Systems are available that provide employees with a simple way to summon help if they are working alone in the store during late hours or on their own, when they may feel particularly vulnerable.
Good security lighting is crucial, particularly when locking up at night and opening in the morning. It’s essential for stores located out of main shopping centres.
All of your fire and security systems should be regularly maintained by an approved company. Make sure the money you invest in this is working for you.
