Three Ways to Improve Your Company’s Building Security
At LMC, we understand that securing your company’s building is a top priority. Identifying and implementing the proper systems will ensure your business is guarded against potential threats. Our team of security specialists has several simple recommendations to guarantee that your assets and people are protected. We have compiled our top three tips for securing your company’s building below.
Access Control
A centralized access control system is critical in managing who can enter your building and when. Access management and site monitoring systems provide centralized control over every entry point in your building. Identifying the appropriate system for your business can be based on several factors and levels of sophistication. Common functions of access control systems include Photo ID badge access, access via security codes or biometrics, history tracking and data collection, and emergency access restriction.
Video Monitoring
As one of the most commonly used security systems, video surveillance is critical for tracking activity at your company’s building throughout the day. Video surveillance ensures 24/7 protection allowing video footage to be accessed remotely at any time. Not only does video surveillance allow you to monitor ongoing activity, but it also provides you with documented evidence of previous activity. In the case of theft or damage, a video monitoring system is key in equipping your business with the necessary visual documentation.
Intrusion Detection
Intrusion detection systems monitor and report potentially threatening activity for your business. These systems are commonly programmed to detect and report environmental disturbances, potentially malicious activity, and security violations. Should intrusion activity be detected, the system generates alerts reporting the activity to an administrator or event management system. Based on the detected event, a centralized analyst or responder will assess the situation and take the appropriate actions to alleviate potential threats.
