The Layers of an Advanced Security System

Security systems come in all shapes and sizes and have a variety of capabilities. While most people think of a security system as a series of alarms and cameras, an advanced security system installation can do so much more. It can be set up in either a home or a business. Features run the spectrum of alarms and cameras, motion sensors, automatic locks, customized access and restricted access to sensitive areas.

Employee Monitoring

In a business, it is often desirable to know when and where employees are. Certain employees might need access to different areas of a company. With coded badge access, each employee’s card allows him or her to enter only the areas that are necessary. The software records the coming and goings of each employee. This monitoring of employees can also be done with TV monitors that are far superior to past models. The new surveillance cameras run digitally and can be monitored from nearly any computer.

Public Access

A comprehensive security system installation can help a business owner keep tabs on who is entering a business. One simple feature is the counting of people who come into a business. An accurate and automatic count of customers can help managers understand traffic flows and sales opportunities. A security system can be an infallible way to keep the public out of sensitive and dangerous areas of building. It is never a good thing to have the public wandering around in areas where a person can do harm.

Closed circuit monitors can also record instances of theft from a company. It is much easier to prosecute when a company has the culprit on tape. Monitors can also be useful in eliminating illegitimate lawsuits that arise when someone fakes an injury.

A security system installation can be tailored to meet the demands of a business or a homeowner. Many useful features can be incorporated to protect a property.
