If you’re going to invest in protecting your business from theft, installing an intruder alarm probably offers the best value for money in comparison to other security measures.
Which is the best intruder alarm for you?
A wide range of different types of intruder alarm are available with the most basic systems consisting of a keypad to operate the system, a control panel and sensors which are designed to detect movement and activate the system. These basic systems are often referred to as ‘bell only’ systems and as such are the cheapest option to install.
Increasingly sophisticated alarms systems are now widely available and are designed to make the most of the latest technologies. Of course the level of sophistication will have an impact upon the cost of a system and whilst you’re unlikely to need the type of alarm used to protect priceless works of art, features such as dual technology motion sensors and alarm activations direct to your mobile phone are great ways to provide peace of mind and enhanced protection.
Basic alarm systems usually sound a simple bell alarm or siren once triggered and depending on the type of alarm you choose, it’s possible to buy systems which will contact a control centre which will then contact the police, or even to fill the premises with dense smoke, designed to make it difficult for intruders to escape.
