Why do you Need Best Security System for Small Businesses - Remal

As a businessman who is starting a new business in Dubai, the last thing you thing about is usually the security system even though it is as important as everything else.

Ensuring a safe environment in your business is essential to protect your business and achieve success faster, and here is some of the examples why:

Protecting Against Employee Accidents

Accidents will happen no matter how careful you try to be, and since accidents are unpreventable, your best choice is to record them. With good security cameras you can catch it on camera which is what you need to understand how it happened and then find ways to prevent the same to occur in the future.

Installing a surveillance system with HD cameras will give you a clear view of anything that happen, however you can also empower the system by integrating it with motion sensors to focus on where the action is taking place.

Preventing Property Theft

We can all agree that the UAE is one of the safest countries in the world, with low crime rates, yet there will always be bad people who may try to take what is yours out of greed.

Property theft is a significant concern for small businesses, whether it is external or internal theft the cost to replace can be high. So why not save the costs and invest in a good surveillance system to keep your eyes on your properties and a good access control to keep unauthorized people out.

By installing smart equipment, you can also program the system to notify you via an app or SMS when any unusual event takes place in your company.

Vital for Liability Claims

Since business owners take responsibility for what happen in their properties, some unethical people may try to sue you claiming they got injured in your place. Tell me, how can you prove they are lying without a video prove of what happened?

When you have cameras everywhere, surveillance footage can provide evidence of what occurred, and help defend against such claims.

Intellectual property theft

When you give it a good thought, Intellectual property theft is more dangerous than normal theft. When a thief steals a computer from you, it only cost you the price of the computer, however, a stolen computer that has information about your business or clients can cost you more in terms of lost opportunities.

Having a security system can protect your business in different ways:

• Security cameras: Security cameras are essential to monitor your company, and today you can store the footage on hard drive, and watch live stream from your phone at any time
• Access Control: Install an access control on your door, and keep unauthorized people aways from your valuable data. Access controls are not just alternatives to normal keys, they can be more secure and some of them are made to be open using biometrics making them more secure
• Motion Sensors: a thief can be among your team with access to the place, but with a motion sensor you may get alerts when they come to the company outside of work hours so you can act fast

Fire and Natural Disasters

Damage and losses are not only due to human activity but can be also caused by other accidents such as fire and water leaks. A fire can start from a spark caused by a damaged socket, and believe me sometimes it only needs few seconds to spread.

Water leaks on the other hand can also inflict substantial damage especially if the water reaches to some electronics (such as laptops), or even to the floor of the floor is made of wood.

You do not need to have a guard patrolling 24/7 to prevent those event, having smart smoke sensors and flood detectors will do the trick for you. Those sensors can send you notifications immediately, and trigger other actions if integrated into other smart systems.
