Break-ins and burglaries are not unusual in Thailand but employing more and more security guards to combat the issue only adds up to more costs and is not always the most effective answer. However, businesses do need to have a system in place to prevent theft and unauthorised entry. Thankfully, there are now a variety of cost-effective electric security devices and systems which can help. In this blog, we will look at 6 reasons why you need to install electronic security at your premises.
Cash or valuables at your business will always be a target for thieves. However, installing an electronic alarm system, along with sensors, has been proven to be an effective deterrent to would be burglars. But should the worst happen and a break-in is attempted, the alarm system will be triggered and an alert sent to the relevant staff for instant action to protect your assets.
Human security guards can’t be everywhere at once and their fixed patrol routes may be exploited by potential burglars. Having CCTV installed at your premises, however, means more eyes monitoring the environment, providing you with 24/7 real-time surveillance. Modern CCTV systems not only provide live video streams and instant images which can be accessed remotely, but can also alert relevant staff of potential threats. Guardforce Thailand’s CCTV system, for instance, uses artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition technology to instantly spot any unauthorized personnel on the premises and alert operators to take immediate action.
Electronic access control systems are an extremely effective way of preventing unauthorized entry to your premises. They come in various shapes and forms, but one of the most cost-effective ways is by integrating CCTV with facial recognition. Cameras upgraded with this technology can easily spot unauthorized access and alert security staff of the potential threat.
Not all theft is carried out by external parties, sometimes internal staff can be the culprits. This is another good reason why an effective CCTV system should be installed as a deterrent. Modern CCTV systems, such as those offered by Guardforce Thailand, upload captured footage to the cloud to prevent images being lost, erased or tampered with.
As mentioned above, should any incident occur, the testimony of human security guards is no match for the real-life captured footage of an electric security system. Images captured by CCTV provide useful evidence of any incident which has occurred for investigation.
In fact, modern CCTV systems equipped with AI and facial recognition are much more than effective electric security measures, using video analytics they can also provide valuable data, insights and reports to users, such as VIP detection, attendance tracking, people counting and much more.
By depending less on physical security guards and more on electronic security measures, businesses can enjoy a greater level of protection in a more cost-effective way. Guardforce Thailand have been enhancing security at businesses since 1989 and are experts in selecting and installing the right electric security system to best suit your needs based on your budget, protection requirements and risks.
