If you’re looking to tighten the security of your premises, you might already be checking out the best business alarm systems on the market. There are many different products to choose from including thermal and perimeter cameras as well as CCTV monitoring services, but when it comes to alarm systems, there are four categories to be aware of. Here at MYDIS, we provide a range of options, enabling you to select the one that best fits your needs. Here are the key systems you can choose from:
Intruder Alarm Systems
Business security systems include intruder alarms. These are designed to detect intruders in real-time and will send alerts to mobile devices for faster responses. Intruder alarms are specially designed to pick up genuine threats and can be programmed to look out for specific intruder types such as people, vehicles or both. Line-crossing technology is used to send alerts whenever someone suspicious crosses a specific perimeter, and reduces the chance of a false alarm being raised.
External Alarm Systems
An intruder alarm can be used to monitor a site’s perimeter and is a type of external alarm when used in this capacity. External alarms can detect a threat before someone even enters the core of your business site and are usually monitored internally. AI technologies are used to actively detect specific threats and trigger the correct alerts. External alarms are particularly useful for large sites including farms and industrial plants that can be tricky to monitor at all times.
Internal Alarm Systems
Small business alarm systems can include an internal alarm. This is designed to detect intrusion such as unauthorised entry into a business building or part of a premises. Alarms can be triggered by motion and are often activated when a door opens and the alarm is set. Internal alarm systems can be used alongside external alarm systems to ensure your business site remains as secure as possible.
Access Control
Unlike traditional locks and keys, access control systems can be integrated with CCTV, fire alarms and internal alarm systems for an impressive security solution. If you have a single point of entry, for example, alarms can be set to activate if people try to get onto your business site in a different way. Those using the entry point can be issued with fobs or can pass through a key/card reader. Biometric technology such as fingerprint or facial recognition access can also be used for a higher level of security.
Finding the right alarm system for your business is a must, so carry out a risk assessment of your premises and decide which security measures you need. Alternatively, get in touch with the team at MYDIS to discuss your premises and benefit from a full consultation.
