Business Security Solutions

Is Your Business Thoroughly Protected?

Business owners have a duty to protect their property along with their customers, clients and employees. When people are on your premises, they are your responsibility. That is a huge undertaking that can put unwanted weight on your shoulders, especially if you own a large operation. But regardless of the business size, business security solutions should be on the forefront of any owner’s mind.

At LaView, we do our best to alleviate the pressures of keeping others safe on your commercial property by providing the best business Security solutions around. We are going to look at security camera solutions that we provide alongside some security industry alternatives. We’ll compare and contrast them to give you a realistic idea of what a LaView surveillance camera system can do for you.

Business Burglaries by the Numbers

We don’t want to scare you. That’s not our aim at LaView. That being said, it is important for you to know the facts as a business owner. The amount of commercial burglaries in the United States is staggering and most of the breakdown is highly relevant to what our systems can offer when it comes to, detection, deterrence and recording. Here are the facts according to studies in recent years:

• Close to 15% of burglars were reported to have picked locks or used a key to gain access.
• Over 1.5 million burglaries occur on average in recent years, with nearly 30% of those being retail businesses.
• Recent reports have shown yearly losses of $800 million in commercial/retail property.
• Nearly half a million of the reported burglaries per year were directly business-related.
• Half of all burglaries occur via an unlocked entrance, while the other the half of incidents involve a use of force to enter the premises.
• The vast majority of burglars report completely avoiding properties with visible security.
• Over 70% of burglaries that were stopped before property or assets were stolen, were prevented by visual security or an audible alarm.

With that in mind, lets look at some of the alternative means of security compared to our Business Security Solutions.

Security Guards vs. LaView Business Security Solutions

One of the most basic (and potentially more primitive) forms of deterrence is the security guard. For centuries, security guards have been a primary form or keeping a person, place or thing protected. Good old noun protectors. Grammar jokes aside, guards can be viewed as both time-tested and outdated when it comes to security.

You have to think about the risk you assume when you put employ a person for security. As we mentioned before, around half of burglaries are reported to occur with forcible entry. People that are willing to find any violent means to enter your business, may in fact be armed and dangerous. This poses a huge threat to your security guards and a potentially huge liability risk.

With just a cursory glance at our security camera systems, you can see how they outmatch the sole presence of a security guard. Something with exceptional IR night vision and customizable motion detection settings will do everything a security guard can do, while instantly alerting you of motion events to your mobile device. Plus, you are not putting a person at risk.

Recommended HD Business Security Solution

Try our HD 4MP security camera system with 100ft IR night vision as well as customizable motion detection. This HD surveillance system far outweighs the benefits of having a security guard. The mere presence of the bullet cameras with their prominent, eye-catching design will deter criminals.

Beyond that, you will gain an extremely clear view of your property and have a layer of accountability with your HD footage. It achieves all of this without putting people at risk like you do with a security guard. If you do feel the need for a physical presence of security, we would highly advise against hiring guards without having a surveillance camera system as your first line of security.

Alarm Systems vs. LaView Business Security Solutions

Alarm systems fail to be the ideal security solution because they don’t give you enough information on their own. Unfortunately, a lot of pros in the burglary world know exactly how much time they have to get in and get out of a forced entry situation.

This is a particularly prevalent issue in retail stores. A simple smash and grab job will be over before your alarm system has any bearing on the situation. All alarm systems have a grace period that allows you to disarm if before an actual alert is issued to the authorities. And in between that, there is typically a period where a phone call is issued to check on the business before dispatching police. This is designed to avoid false alarms. When all of this stacks up, it could be minutes before any authorities are alerted.

Conversely, if you have a security camera system from LaView, it is all about your security in your own hands. You would get a motion detection alert as soon as movement was detected, and then you would be able to call the authorities yourself. This is an immediate response to crime. On top of that, the video evidence you will have with your HD security footage is the best tool to provide law enforcement in any case.

Top Recommended Solution

If you want a system that combines the crime deterring qualities of an alarm system and the top-quality surveillance tech of our systems, try out our Ultra HD 4K PIR + Strobe Light Camera System

The presence of the bullet cameras both around the exterior and along the interior of your business would be enough to ward away any burglars. To take things a step further, two of the cameras are equipped with ultra-bright strobe lights that flash on upon motion detection. On top of that, all of the cameras are equipped with thermal PIR sensors, ensuring that you capture the motion of only humans and animals.

Monitored Security Systems vs. LaView Business Security Solutions

The final comparison is monitored surveillance vs. our DIY self-monitored security systems. Like we mentioned earlier, it is all about having your security in your hands with a LaView system. If you choose to go the monitored route, you are leaving all the decision making in the hands of a person monitoring your property. This leads to false alarms as you won’t be looking at your live feed to decide on calling the police. As a result, every false dispatch is money out of your pocket and can be quite expensive. With LaView, you have all the control!
