Maximize the Benefits of Your Commercial Security System

As an Oklahoma City or Tulsa business owner, you know how vital having a commercial security system in place is to protecting your business and employees. But are you really getting the most out of your business security system? 

Enable video monitoring. Remote video monitoring allows business owners to easily access and control their security system from their laptop, smartphone, or tablet. For instance, with Honeywell’s Total Connect Video Solutions, you can receive video notification or pictures of activity at your business when it occurs. These mobile viewing technologies can give you increased flexibility and greater peace of mind when you’re away from the office. Call your Tulsa and OKC security system specialists at Mac Systems to see how you can take advantage of this great feature.

Make sure it’s up-to-date. How long has your current security system been in place? Is it time for an upgrade? Older alarm systems can often cause costly false alarms. Make sure all of your commercial security and fire protection equipment is up-to-date with regular testing, inspections, and maintenance provided by Mac Systems. We can check to make sure there are no wiring or equipment issues that could inhibit your security system. With regular professional inspections, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your security system is at its peak performance.

Access control technology. Another great way to make sure you’re getting the most from your security system is to add an access control system. If you’ve had a commercial security system in Tulsa or OKC for some time, your business has probably grown and changed. You may now have areas of your business that need additional security measures or areas where only certain employees need access. Access control systems help you manage and monitor admission to your facility and prevent unauthorized entry, even with utilizing multi-level access control. These systems can be as simple or as complicated as you need them to be, controlling access to either one door or a hundred doors. Limiting access to specific areas can help ensure your business stays safe.

Make sure your business is completely covered. Along with making sure your alarm system is up-to-date, you’ll also want to make sure you have sufficient and up-to-date video surveillance coverage for your business.

“Video surveillance can provide invaluable evidence for investigations of criminal activity and other events that have taken place within or around your facility,” Honeywell noted.

You may have CCTV cameras in place in your facility, but are the outdoor areas around your business also protected by video surveillance? Areas such as the parking lot, backdoors, gates, or delivery and loading zones can be entry points for criminals if they’re not well monitored by video surveillance.

Make sure your business has the best alarm monitoring. If a security situation does happen at your business, you want to make sure the police will be notified as soon as possible. Advanced wireless alarm monitoring by MacNet in OKC and Tulsa can give you the fastest and most reliable alarm monitoring service available. MacNet signals are received by the central station in 2 seconds or less. And because MacNet doesn’t use any third party communications like telephone, GSM, or the Internet, there are no third-party fees, sunsets, upgrades needed, or trade-outs.
