Protect Your Business The Right Way

By Mark Mahaffey


If you own your own business, you have no doubt worked hard for your success. It would be a shame to lose it or suffer significant loss just because you did not take the time and money to adequately protect it with a business security system. Now is the time to make the right choice and protect your business before tragedy strikes.

Understanding the kind of threat you are up against is a good first step in preventing crime in your company. There are a couple of main threats: external and internal. External threat is when you suffer crime from someone not associated with your company. This would be like a robber breaking into your store.

The inside type of threat happens from within your company. Perhaps you have wondered if your workers are stealing from you. This is the type of threat that is considered inside. It is natural to be concerned about this type of threat, since you cannot keep an eye on your workers all the time.

You will be glad to know that there are several things you can do to decrease the chance that you will be the victim of crime. You should start with putting in video cameras. This helps you watch your business whether you are actually there or not.

It is good to put these cameras outside your business. Parking areas are a great place to put these cameras. Using motion detector cameras is the best bet for outdoor use. Be sure to get weatherproof cameras for these areas.

Putting cameras inside your building is smart too. This is a great way to keep an eye on what your employees are doing. You can put these in areas such as the cash register (to make sure they are not stealing money) and out on the floor to get an idea of how they are spending their time while on the clock!
