Choose the Best Security Service for Your Building

The benefits for having security services on your property go without saying, however it is sometimes difficult to determine which kind of service or package is right for your business or property. In this blog we will be going over the different aspects of security services so that you can have a fuller understanding of what is available, allowing you to make a more informed decision about your security requirements. 

‍

Surveillance System

Having a surveillance system in place is a great way to keep your property safe for a number of reasons. Although they will capture any crime that takes place on the property, they also deter criminals from even entering your property since they know they will be on camera. They are therefore a great investment and should be on every property you manage no matter the size or location. Before you begin looking into the right system for you, you need to ask yourself 3 main questions: 

‍

1. What level of security do I need?

The level of security you need will depend on two main factors. The first being the location of your property and its proximity to areas of higher crime rate. If you are in or near an area with a high crime rate, you should consider having a more thorough security system. However if your property is in an area where crime is low, you shouldn't need anything more than a basic setup of cameras. The second factor is the value of the items on your property, and how easy they are to grab and transport. If you believe the items on your property could make it a potential target, consider adding a few extra security measures to ensure the safety of your property. 

‍

2. Where am I most concerned about theft or vandalism happening?

It is important to take a look at your property and think of where you think vandalism, theft or a break in would most likely occur. You can then make sure to cover that area with a camera so that it can capture or deter criminal activity. Some usual places include any entrances, as well as areas inside your property where valuable items are kept. This process can sometimes be tricky as you may not think of everything, that is why it is important to speak with a security professional and have them do an assessment of your property and its security needs. Bringing in a professional will ensure you have all your bases covered and the chances of criminal activities occurring on your property are minimized.

‍

3. What is your budget?

Your budget is going to determine the level of security you end up installing on your property, however it is important to note that security is not something you want to be cutting corners on to save money. A great security system does not have to be expensive, however putting in a system that does not adequately meet your needs could lead to serious security concerns in the future. Make a budget of what you estimate the security system will cost beforehand, however if you consult a professional and they recommend a more expensive system, do take their recommendation seriously and consider the upgrade.

‍

Security Guards

Aside from installing a camera system, security guards are an amazing way to ensure your property will remain safe and secure. Security guards handle the checking of all entrances, noticing if anything is out of the ordinary, observing the behaviour of people, responding to emergencies, etc. They will be able to give you the peace of mind that someone is always on your property who is well equipped to handle any security situation that arises. Now, security guards are not necessary for many properties, however if you have a particularly large property, or have a lot of valuable items on your property that you want to make sure are 100% protected, strongly consider hiring security guards.
