Why Your Retail Store Needs An Alarm System

Blog

Are you looking to open a new retail store or better protect a store you already have open? If you don't have an alarm system or security system set up for your new store, you are going without a number of benefits that could help you if you ever encounter trouble. Here are just some of the benefits that alarm systems can provide your growing company.  

Deter Theft

You don't have to actually have a break-in or theft attempt to benefit from your new alarm system. You could put a sign at the front of the store prominently announcing that there is a security system installed. Thieves looking for their next score might see that you have an alarm system installed and decide to move on to an easier target.

Automatic Alerts

Modern alarm systems can use cameras and motion sensors and other tools and components to detect when there is a break-in or some kind of motion in a room or area where there should not be any. You could get notified on your phone that something is not right at your store or your security team could receive an alert on their internal systems so they can go investigate. In the case of a serious issue like a break-in or a fire, your new alarm system may be able to automatically contact the authorities in order to ensure a fast response time to take care of the issue at hand.

Document Incidents for Authorities

If you are robbed or burglarized, you will obviously want to go after those responsible. Your modern security system can turn on and start recording multiple locations throughout the premises at the first sign of trouble. You can find then have your security team go over this footage and turn it over to the police or other authorities who may be able to help you track down the people responsible.

Document Incidents for Insurers

If damage is done to your business during a break-in or other incident, your cameras can also document the incident so you have something to send to your insurance company. This will ensure fast processing and approval of your claim so you can get back to business as usual more quickly.

Remote Monitoring

Once your modern security system is installed you can take advantage of the latest tech provided by these systems, some of which may include the ability to remotely check in on your business. You can see what's going on at the store at any time on your phone or a web browser by accessing the cameras even when there is not an incident in progress.
