Commercial Security:
Commercial
Security falls into three categories: Traditional Burglary and Fire
Systems, Access Systems and CCTV.
Traditional
Burglary and Fire Systems safeguards
your business when it is vacant at night and on weekends.
Systems
such as the PRO 6000 by General Electric is easy to use. Each staff
member has their own code. Most perimeter doors and windows should be
covered and generally we use dual TEC Motion Sensors in offices,
showrooms and warehouses to detect entries through walls, ceilings and
air conditioner ducts etc. This system can also include 24-Hour Hold
Up buttons.
Fire
Detection consists
of heat sensors in non-controlled environments such as a warehouse and
smoke detectors in office, show rooms and storefronts. This system is
active 24 hours a day.
Required
fire alarms by authorities such as the Fire Marshal or your insurance
carrier usually need to meet ADA (American Disabilities Act) with
strobe horns in most areas and strobe warning lights in restrooms as
well as pull station by all exit doors.
Many
insurance carriers also require sprinkler flow or pressure valves that
will dispatch a fire truck should the sprinkler be released.
All
monitoring of your system will be done at our own local central
station which is in our offices and staffed by the most helpful
service related staff in St. Louis.
Access
Systems track
staff and keep areas or entire businesses in a "locked down"
position at all times. This is very important to many businesses and
even for non-for-profit organizations.
Most
losses that businesses have occur during the day hours from staff, not
intruders in the wee hours of the night.
Because
of this having a card reader with electromechanical locks is a big
benefit. Staff can be tracked and allowed access to any or all areas
at different time zones.
These
systems are convenient for staff and will provide management with an
audit trail.
As
with all commercial security, a visit by one of our professionally
trained consultants can evaluate and assign a system for your company
to grow with.
CCTV-Closed
Circuit Television, with
all of the concerns on today's world, is the most effective way to
monitor your business.
These
systems, now color, can monitor storerooms for inventory and office
supplies, production areas, entrances and parking lots.
Monitoring
by screen can be kept from multiple locations and a record of activity
can be done with a 24 to 168 hour time lapse VCR taping system or a
new DVR digital video recording system.
