During this tumultuous time, Texans are required to stay at home except to provide essential services or do essential errands like running to the grocery store. This is all for the sake of social distancing to reduce the spread of the new coronavirus. Workplaces and schools have shifted to doing business in online environments, leaving previously bustling campuses and office buildings empty.

Transitioning traditional work and school life is difficult enough, so you shouldn’t need to worry about the security of your Harlingen, TX building while employees are away. With a commercial surveillance system, managers, building supervisors and administrative staff can keep their eye on the building to ensure it is safe and secure from potential burglaries, theft, and property damage.

Reduce Theft & Vandalism

With employees working from home, Harlingen-area buildings are empty for longer than they’ve ever been before. In order to deter theft and vandalism, surveillance cameras can serve as a crime deterrent.

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte conducted a study of burglars in 2012 that showed 60% of burglars would pick a different target if they knew a building had security cameras. With remote monitoring, you can watch the footage from your surveillance system while you’re working from home.

Fewer False Alarms

Any motion or access detected on your commercial property will initiate a push notification sent to your smart device. From your smartphone, you’ll be able to view, save and send footage, plus manage door entry locks. Because you’ll be able to view camera footage in real-time, you can ensure fewer false alarms occur. If a threat is detected, then the proper authorities are dispatched to your building.

Monitor Multiple Areas Simultaneously

When you’re physically at your work building, you may be able to view multiple surveillance camera feeds at once with several monitors in your security office. Unfortunately, many of us don’t have the same powerful setups while we work at home. With remote monitoring, you can still view the camera footage from multiple cameras in your commercial surveillance system.

Switch between the front and back entry cameras, monitor the perimeter of your Texas property, and more with a well-designed system from Circle Industries.
