More than 20,000 companies are confronted with theft or burglary every year. Enough reason to choose good security. There are various options such as a burglar alarm, security cameras but also the use of GPS trackers. What is the best way to secure a business? Below the best options.
Burglar security business premises
Burglary or theft involves high costs. These costs are always higher than burglary protection. Companies can opt for a simple alarm system or an extensive package with all the trimmings. The best option depends on the size of the company. The location also plays a role: more crime occurs, particularly in large cities. It is therefore important to take a good look at the circumstances.
Alarm system: notification to intruders
The alarm system not only serves to deter criminals, but also issues a warning. The better alarm system works in combination with an emergency room subscription. The control room receives the warning and takes immediate action. This action consists of warning the entrepreneur or sending the police. This makes it (sometimes) possible to catch burglars in the act.
Different alarm systems are possible. The alarm system with motion detector warns intruders and gives a siren depending on the model. A system with a VEB certificate meets a certain security class.
Surveillance cameras: 24/7 surveillance
With a surveillance camera you continuously monitor the premises or the company premises. The operation of the surveillance cameras is simple: they store images on a recorder, in a cloud or internally. Watch live or the images back at a later time. This is useful, because you can always see what happened afterwards. The better cameras film in high resolution and have night vision.
Perhaps there is no need for continuous recording. A security camera with a motion detector only takes pictures when it detects movement. These types of security cameras are primarily useful for monitoring the yard or site. A security camera with motion detection also offers a solution for spaces where nobody is normally present.
GPS tracker for commercial vehicles
Unfortunately, companies are not only confronted with burglary, but also with theft of company vehicles. With a GPS tracker you can view the real-time location of the vehicle. In addition, it is possible to get information such as stopping locations and how long the vehicle has stood still here. Thanks to a GPS tracker it is a lot easier to find commercial vehicles.
The GPS tracker is not only suitable for locating stolen vehicles but also for checking employees. This way you view journeys and distances, so that it is clear where employees are located. The GPS tracker is also very suitable for securing and locating valuable goods.
The costs for securing a business premises
On average, companies spend € 4000 on burglary protection. Here there is a margin of € 1000 - € 9000. However, it is possible to secure a (small) business premises for a price from € 100. Security is therefore also interesting for self-employed people without employees.
