The Proactive Approach to Security
These days, the first approach people often consider for protecting their business is keeping an eye on things with cameras. While cameras can be useful in many ways, and can even notify the user of activity, there is a better way to protect your business proactively.
Unlike self-monitored cameras, an alarm system will quickly notify authorities of a break-in without any action required by the user. This way, even if you are away from your phone (or asleep) when something happens at your business, you can rest easy knowing authorities will be on their way shortly. This system really limits the amount of time an intruder could be there doing damage before the authorities arrive.
Proactive Security Benefits Any Type of Business
Professionally designed and installed H&S alarm systems provide thousands of businesses (and homes) invaluable protection from break-ins, theft, environmental factors and other dangers. H&S protects homes, hospitals, schools, manufacturing plants, warehouses, churches, municipal buildings, restaurants, banks, dental offices, malls, office buildings, auto repair shops, golf courses, veterinarians, and many other small, medium and large businesses.
Depending on the application, environmental factors, and building construction, systems may be hard-wired, wireless, or a combination of both.
Keypad
This is the part of the system you will interact with the most. It goes right inside your main entry door, or nearby. Each employee who may need to unlock for the day or lock up for the night would have their own unique four-digit code. The last person to leave for the night would type their four-digit code into the keypad and hit the “arm system” button. Once they walk out the door, the system is live. The first person to next enter must type their four-digit code into the keypad to turn the system off.
Door Sensor
These sensors go on all service doors and overhead doors to detect whether the door is opened or closed. The system will show an error if you are trying to arm the system while a door is still open. If you have the app for the alarm system, you can also get notified for when a door gets propped open too long.
Motion Sensor
These sensors are used as blanket coverage so that if someone enters your building by means other than a door, the alarm system will still catch them. We normally will put these in the main hallways of buildings and in rooms with windows.
Glass Break Sensor
These sensors detect the act of glass breaking, such as a window or glass door being shattered. It uses specialized vibration sensors to pick up the distinct sound frequency of glass breaking. When the sensor detects this noise, it triggers the alarm to alert homeowners or security personnel of a potential break-in.
Other Detection Sensors
Panic buttons can be added onto any alarm system; these trigger an alarm and alerts authorities when pressed, signaling an emergency situation. Additionally, Leak Detection and Low Temperature Detection can be integrated. Receive a phone call and a notification via the Alarm.com platform for environmental alerts so you can take action immediately and avoid damage.
