Christmas is a time for switching off, kicking back and enjoying a few days of not thinking about anything work-related. But, when you own a small business, this is not always easy to do. It can be so tempting to say “I’m just going to check in and make sure everything’s ok”. Rather than being preoccupied over the Christmas period, there are plenty of ways to protect your business from opportunistic thieves and vandals while everyone has a well-deserved break. From CCTV and burglar alarms to remote monitoring and secure entry systems, protecting your business over the Christmas period (and beyond) is easy, affordable and hassle-free.
CCTV and burglar alarms
Two staples of the business security world, CCTV and burglar alarms are essential systems to have in place for the protection of your business premises. Each offers many benefits when implemented on its own, but the two provide a powerful security solution when utilised together. While a burglar alarm will warn you or a neighbouring property of an attempted break-in, CCTV will capture valuable footage (hopefully of the criminal) that can be shown to the police and help with their investigation. Visible CCTV and burglar alarms also serve as effective deterrents, making an opportunistic burglar think that a business premises is well-protected and, hopefully, putting them off the thought of attempting a crime. This is why it is ideal to have CCTV and burglar alarms in full view over the Christmas period, because you will be able to rest assured that you have done everything you can to secure your premises.
Remote monitoring
If you have a CCTV system in place at your business, then investing in remote monitoring is a great way to give yourself peace of mind that your property is safe, you may want to consider upgrading your security system if you worry that it may not be adequate. Rather than having to keep an eye on CCTV footage yourself over Christmas, or paying a member of staff to be on the premises, you can pass the responsibility for surveillance over to a security professional. As the person who would monitor your CCTV is a dedicated surveillance professional, you can be sure that any suspicious behaviour or incidents would be flagged up without delay. You would only be notified if anything serious occurs, so you would be able to sit back and enjoy your Christmas in peace!
