FAQs

What different parts make up a business security system?

When you’ve compared quotes and picked a business security system provider, they’ll put together a bespoke plan. This will combine your budget with the specific needs of your business, and will take into account the biggest threats to your premises.

What do I look for in a business security system?

Remote access

Ensure your business security system has remote access, so you can access data from any of your devices. This way, you can look at your cameras, clock staff arrivals, and trigger security features from practically anywhere.

Wireless cameras

Wired or wireless. What’ll it be? Wired security systems are traditionally more reliable, and more suitable for larger sites. They’re also less prone to go ‘haywire’ due to interference from other signals. That said, wireless devices are easy to get set up, and offer greater flexibility.

To IP or not to IP?

An Internet Protocol (IP) CCTV system runs on a secure internet connection. This means you won’t have to depend on wires, providing a more flexible approach to your video monitoring. IP systems let you place cameras in more remote locations that, naturally, aren’t accessible with a wired system. They also let you view footage through your tablet and smartphone, to make sure you’re always in the loop.
