Restaurants and cafés are customer-facing businesses, which means they must contend with a number of potential security threats. If you own or manage a restaurant, you should consider installing a robust security system to protect your premises, employees and customers.

If you're looking for a reliable way to protect your business, then our business security systems at IDS are a brilliant option. With over 20 years of experience, we offer maintenance and installation services for a range of reliable business security options. Each business security measure has its own individual benefits, and the one you choose will depend on your business needs. 

Overall, multiple business security systems for one site will provide you with the most comprehensive and robust security.

CCTV Cameras

A CCTV camera is an excellent choice for a business security system as they are robust and reliable. With Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), you will be able to monitor various parts of your premises at all times of day, allowing you to catch and identify unsuspecting trespassers.

At IDS, our CCTV cameras can be integrated with other systems such as your site's lights, doors, or gates to provide a comprehensive business security package.

Intruder Alarms

If you class your business as high-risk in terms of property contents or location, then an intruder alarm would be a suitable choice of business security system. An intruder alarm does what it says on the tin; it is an alarm that alerts you when trespassers and unauthorised personnel enter your property without your knowledge.

With our extensive knowledge of business security systems, we're lucky to offer intruder alarms that are able to monitor other events such as personal attacks, fires, and medical emergencies. Our intruder alarms also have the latest digital signalling equipment to ensure that all of the relevant emergency services are informed in any case of the above incidents.

Access Control Systems

An access control system can be defined as any system that limits access to various parts of your business's property. It can also be known as a door entry system. Access control allows business owners to decide who can enter their premises, and even when employees can enter the monitored area. This can be done through a range of entry options, such as key pads, fobs, access cards or an intercom. 

You may want to use an access control system for your business security solution due to its versatility. You can use access control systems in many commercial environments including shops, offices and banks.

To further strengthen your commercial security, you can even connect an access control system to alarms and doors!

Security Barriers

If you work at a business location that has lots of employees, then security barriers are a great way to physically limit the movement of people and vehicles within the site. There are different forms of security barriers, including arm barriers, turnstiles and rising bollards.

You may find security barriers useful as a business security system if you have your own on-site company parking. You can easily separate general public parking from employee parking using an automatic arm barrier, for instance. This will not only ensure that your employees have somewhere to park, but it will keep their vehicles secure whilst they're working, too!

CCTV cameras are a great piece of equipment to own, for the safety of your home or your business. A CCTV camera can act as a very effective crime deterrent as it means you can monitor the activities surrounding your property at all times.

One commonly asked question is 'Can CCTV cameras can record sound, and what does that mean for you as a property owner?'

You'll be pleased to hear that, yes, modern CCTV cameras can record audio. This means that your CCTV system can be the eyes and the ears that watch over your property. Some CCTV cameras come with built-in audio input, while others can be connected to a remote microphone for clearer sound. It really depends on your premises and your security needs. IP CCTV cameras gather audio data from the camera itself so the sound is automatically digitalised, whereas analogue cameras need to have audio input through a digital video recorder. More...

There’s a lot of bureaucracy that comes with staff transition, both with the coming and going of staff. All that paperwork combined with the hassles of interviewing and rehiring, it can be easy to overlook another important step, which is updating the office security systems.

It can be hard to know exactly what needs to be done when an employee leaves, especially with so many factors to take into consideration like the different types of security systems and how they work, staff turnover rate, and the relationship with the staff member currently leaving the company.
