Security systems are designed to keep your home or business premises safe and secure at all times. With so many different systems available it can be hard to know what to choose. This article takes a look at three popular types of security system, and it explains how to find a security system retailer in your area.

CCTV

CCTV can be used in a number of ways, and it is commonly used in retail stores to lower the risk of theft. It will also help to prevent dishonest employees from stealing from you. CCTV can be used on streets, roads and walkways to protect members of the public. It can also be used in homes to prevent intruders from entering the property. In the event of an intrusion the CCTV footage can be recalled and used as evidence.

Alarms

Alarms will protect your home or business from intruders. Just the sight of an alarm box will help to deter potential thieves. Alarms can be set up to go off when a sensor is triggered, and some systems will allow you to set different alarm zones throughout the house. Alarms are available in a huge range of shapes and sizes. They can also be monitored, that is when a signal is sent to an alarm company or to the police who will be able to respond quickly. An alarm specialist will advise you on the best type of alarm system for your needs.

Accessing Systems

Accessing systems are used to control who enters the building. They are popular in many businesses as they will stop people with unauthorized access from entering the building, the elevators or a specific room. They also provide the business owner with a detailed log of who has accessed the building, and who is located in the building at any given time. Employees can be given special key cards, or personal passcodes that allow them to access the building. When that employee leaves the company the code or card can be deactivated making the system completely secure.

Accessing systems can also be used in residential properties. They can be placed next to gates, and the visitor can then press a buzzer which will make a noise in the house on an intercom system. Once the homeowner validates the identity of the person they can choose to open the gates and let them in. Accessing systems can also be used in conjunction with CCTV to allow you to have a visual image of the visitor.
