Robust Commercial Security Systems Offer the Ultimate Protection
Today’s Cloud-Based Security Solutions Enable Control of Cameras, Access, and Alarms from Anywhere in the World
Commercial security systems are made up of several components that help keep businesses, employees, visitors, and assets safe. Ideally, these components work together and communicate with each other seamlessly. Unfortunately, if you’ve used different vendors and acquired your security system in a piecemeal approach, these systems may not be compatible.
Let’s look at what a robust security system looks like and what your options are for integrating one into your Fort Collins, CO business.

Video Surveillance
Today’s video surveillance systems offer much more than intrusion detection. Cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) cameras provide 24/7 real-time access, enabling owners and operators to keep an eye on the business from wherever they are in the world. Cloud video management systems mean no additional on-site analytics servers or centralized storage needed. Cameras are now powerful, proactive units with their own video and audio analytics.
Unfortunately, statistics suggest that internal theft is more of a problem for businesses than criminals breaking and entering. For example, one study reported that 90% of all significant theft comes from employees. In addition, companies lose an average of 5% of their profits every year due to this type of theft and fraud.
Discrete indoor dome security cameras offer 360-degree views and can zoom in on potential problems. Thanks to AI, these cameras can detect out-of-the-ordinary events and send alerts to operators.
High-resolution images and low light performance also allow users to see every detail in the darkest conditions. They can even identify sound patterns and the direction they are coming from, whether screaming, gunshots, or breaking class.
Access Control
Electronic access control systems allow operators to determine who can enter specific rooms and buildings and what time they are granted access. These systems have also adapted to the cloud, enabling owners and administrators to allow or disallow access at a moment’s notice. All that’s needed is an internet-connected device, such as a laptop or smartphone.
We can set up the system to grant access via a key card, pin code, fingerprint, eye scan, or smartphone. When integrated with your surveillance system, the system can go into immediate lockdown if a potential threat has been spotted. Your HR department can also pull up access reports to check employees’ hours and lunch breaks, or they can decommission an employee’s access upon job termination in mere seconds.
Alarm Systems
Today’s alarm systems do much more than let occupants know when an emergency is at hand. They sound different alarms, depending on if it’s a fire, water, or break-in. Additionally, they can automatically notify first responders when an emergency occurs. They’ll also inform system operators if an employee leaves the building without locking up or arming the system.
Having cameras, doors, and alarms communicate with one another in one comprehensive system ensures maximum protection of your business. For example, if someone forcefully tries to enter through a door without the proper access, multiple entries go into lockdown, the camera zooms in, the alarm sounds, and the police are notified.
