Security Tips for High-Value Assets

If you're in the business of protecting high-value assets, you know that the quality of your security system is the only thing ensuring the success of your work. A strong system will keep out any unwanted guests and prevent any unwanted contact between your assets and unauthorized individuals.

However, a penetrable system will leave you exposed, even if you have other strong security measures in place. While access control and video surveillance are the most widely used forms of security, there are some other systems that you should be using if you’re serious about maintaining asset integrity.

Mobile Duress Systems

If you’re serious about protecting your assets and your personnel, you should definitely look into Inovonics mobile duress technology. While video surveillance will help you protect your property from intrusion, it can still leave your personnel exposed.

A failure of the surveillance system, a blind spot in the camera’s viewing range, or a failure of your security staff to properly notice anything suspicious can severely limit the effectiveness of surveillance alone. Giving your staff access to “panic buttons” will greatly increase your overall security integrity and will ensure that personnel have access to a quick fail-safe measure to use if they are in distress of any kind.

Motion Detection

While cameras are useful, they are limited by what they’re able to capture in their particular viewing area. What’s more, they don’t automatically alert anyone to something suspicious. Motion detection technology, however, will activate as soon as it detects something. It will alert you to any movement in the area that it is watching, which will let you know if someone is gaining accessed to an unauthorized area. Learn more

Motion detection is a much stronger method for getting the attention of your security personnel, and it will allow them to focus their attention on any areas that might actually be compromised, instead of trying to watch over everything at once.
