Commercial properties face many challenges, the most significant of which is keeping the facilities and people safe and secure. You may already have certain tools, like intrusion alarms, surveillance, and emergency notification. But what happens after hours or when all of your staff is otherwise engaged? There is a better, safer method.

While directly managing access, oversight, and a watchful vigilance on-site is effective, remote security alarm monitoring gives you peace of mind any time of day, all year round. Are you looking to provide a more comprehensive security system for your Brownsville, TX business? Continue reading to learn about the benefits.

CENTRAL STATION ADVANTAGE

Security monitoring consists of a staffed central station that is alerted to any alarms or notifications your system may generate. As your facility is connected via standard POTS lines, Internet, and even cellular, your property can be secured from anywhere in the world within moments. 

When an incident is reported, a surveillance operator looks to confirm by accessing cameras or putting in a call to an emergency contact. Once authority is given, safety staff, administrators and police are notified of an active issue.

A major advantage of professional monitoring is that your safety network is maintained regularly. Monthly tests on sensors, cameras, and access controls look to find damaged, defective, or poorly operating devices before their failure detrimentally affects your business operations. 

BEYOND BURGLARY

More often than not, security is viewed as a preventative measure against burglary, trespassing, and vandalism. However, studies show that damage from environmental causes is far more common and more destructive. 

Fire services respond to business-centric alarms every 40 seconds in the US. Approximately 31% of office fires occur between 7 pm and 7 am, with only the sensors around to give warnings. While insurance can cover the cost of damage, getting back to normal can take weeks or even months.  

Water damage from leaky pipes, malfunctioning HVAC systems, or flooding from natural disasters can cause long-standing damage if left unchecked. Structural damage to walls, floors, and furniture is bad enough, but the long-term threat from mold and mildew to people’s health can cost you for years.
