Benefits of Commercial Alarm Systems

In today’s fast-paced business world it has never been more important to protect your property, employees, and assets. Businesses face many issues with security; everything from petty theft to a fire hazard which raises significant security concerns. A commercial alarm system benefits you more than one alert; it provides you with peace of mind knowing that your building is being monitored 24/7 and that you have a smart form of protection in place to ensure your possessions are protected.

Let’s delve a little deeper into the uses and benefits of commercial alarm systems, as well as the reasons why every business, small or large, should have one.

1. Intrusion Detection 24/7

A commercial alarm system’s main function is to detect possible intrusion. This alarm is fully functioning if a business is closed after hours, closed on the weekend, or even closed on a holiday. A commercial alarm system allows the detection of any forced entry or unauthorized access while permitting the business owner to receive an instant alert thus reducing response time and being able to stop potential theft or vandalism.

2. Protection of Employees and Assets

An organization that operates in a safe and secure environment builds employee morale and creates a sense of assurance. Employee and valuable assets (tools, machinery, etc.) can be protected against any potential hazards with the help of commercial alarm system, which incorporates panic buttons, motion sensors, emergency alarms, as well as early warning system for a fire hazard, or (worst case scenario) a break-in.

3. Monitoring and Professional Alertness

If you have a monitored security system, like the one that is provided by DFS, it means you will not be alone in the event of an emergency. You will have professional monitoring 24/7 through the monitoring center, which is equipped and capable of instantly responding to any alerts, whether that is a phone call to you, or a call to security personnel as well as emergency responders like police (as example).

4. Detection of Fire and Environmental Hazards

Commercial alarm systems provide coverage not only with threats from other people, but many commercial alarm systems will provide smoke, heat, and gas leak detectors to warn you of a threat from your environment. The sooner you are warned of any smoke or environmental threats, the sooner you can take action to evacuate if necessary, and it might mean saving lives, your own or that of your employees, in addition to protecting your business property.

5. Lower Insurance Rates

Often, insurance companies will recognize that an alarm system reduces the potential risk. Hence, they may provide a lower premium or discount for the business that has professional security installed for their business. This is just another way that you can save when you invest in security.

6. Customizable for All Businesses
