How Intruder Alarm Systems Help Retail Stores Reduce Risk

Introduction

With security threats becoming more sophisticated, having a strong foundation of security is paramount. One of the most effective ways to provide protection to your retail environment is to use an intruder alarm system. This article will discuss how intruder alarm systems can help retail stores reduce risk and why using a reputable company like DFS can mean the difference between a minor incident and a loss of valuable stock.

What is an Intruder Alarm System?

An intruder/burglar alarm system is a solution for securing a theft or under-monitored type building or area using detection and response measures. An intruder alarm system secures a building or area with detection sensors (maybe even vibration sensors), alarm panel, sirens and typically a 24/7 monitoring provider. When an alarm is triggered by intrusion, the intruder alarm system alerts the user and/or monitoring centre so that immediate responses can be implemented.
