Why Should You Upgrade Your Commercial Security System?

The Need to Upgrade Your Commercial Security System

As mentioned before, a security system is an investment in your business and assets. Ensuring your commercial security system is updated will ensure you get the best return on that investment. If you already have a security system in place, here are some details you want to check for:

• Make sure that it can meet storage needs for video footage, this will allow you to archive video surveillance for easy access
• Your system is compliant with security infrastructure (depending on your business type). Some industries, such as healthcare or federal agencies, must use an updated security infrastructure per their contract
• Your security system is using the best surveillance tools available. Doing this provides the ability to monitor employees and the day-to-day operations in your commercial buildings

If your system is due for an upgrade, HRSS can provide you with an integrated commercial security system that covers fire and life safety with top-tier security using one adaptable system that is easy to monitor and access.

Business owners often overlook the need to upgrade their security system because they assume their current system is doing its job. But it is important to be mindful of the constant advancements that are occurring in the world of technology and security. Having a complete system that features the newest security improvements is better overall for your business, employees, and occupants.

What are the Benefits of an Upgraded Commercial Security System?

There are many benefits for business owners to investing in a quality security system. One of the greatest benefits is the ability to record incidents for law enforcement.

The Ability to Record and Document all Incidents

Recording and documenting all incidents, whether accidental or criminal, and the ability to provide that evidence to law enforcement is a big benefit of upgrading your commercial security system. The mere presence of security cameras in and around your commercial building can be a deterrent to criminal activity. Another benefit is that you can monitor your building and employees remotely.

Additional benefits for upgrading your commercial security system include:

Reduce Operating Costs

Upgrading your commercial security system can reduce operating costs with the use of surveillance video systems. This allows 24/7 remote surveillance of your property without having to hire staff to work on premises.

You will also be able to lessen the need for security staff because only people who are authorized to have access will be able to enter your commercial property. An upgraded commercial security system shifts the focus of your staff back to the residents or consumers of your business.

Increase Property Value

Properties with updated security systems hold a higher market value and yield higher income. HRSS has commercial security system specialists who can design your security system that will also be more energy efficient, which can also add value to your property.

Provide Safety and Security for Tenants

One of the most important things to a tenant is safety and security. Your building can have all the amenities one could ask for, but if safety is not a priority, you will lose business. Developing a multi-tiered, integrated security system is one way to ensure that tenants feel safe when they are inside your buildings. Your security system should also run on the most up-to-date technology available, which is why upgrading is so important for business owners. Modern security systems allow video surveillance to capture images of occupants and visitors from different angles while also limiting access to those who are not authorized to enter. 24/7 monitoring from a remote location also provides a sense of security for tenants who live in or visit your building.

Allow Building Automation

Today many people are striving for things to make their life easier and more convenient. Your building’s security system is no different. Occupants want convenience when it comes to security without having to compromise the quality. If your building is set up for the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, you can retrofit newer technology into the current system, which can give tenants the ability to communicate with visitors either through an intercom or video before access to the building is ever granted. This is what convenience is all about.

Make Your Building Future-Proof

To ensure your building’s commercial security system can adapt to future technology and the needs of your occupants, you will want to have an Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem in place. This will allow an easy transition for future devices as advances in technology are made. With the constant developments in technology and security today, there is an expectation for a certain level of security. Upgrading your security system is the best way to meet that expectation.

When it comes to security, it really does benefit business owners, employees, and occupants alike to have a system in place that is comprehensive and can deliver safety on different levels. People want to feel safe where they live and where they work. An upgraded commercial security system is a way to deliver that sense of security while protecting your assets and occupants.
