Here at IDS, we specialise in planning, installing and maintaining intruder alarm systems throughout the South Wales area, including Newport. Operating from our base, which is located just a short drive away in Cardiff Business Park, we are able to provide a range of security solutions to clients based in Newport, be it a large-scale commercial project or a home installation.
 
Intruder alarms provide protection and peace of mind for property owners, by efficiently detecting unauthorised access and possible criminal activity. This is particularly important outside of operational or manned hours, as well as during periods of closure/absence, as it allows activity to be monitored and documented, while providing a timely and effective alert to any possible breech.

Here are just a few benefits of our intruder alarms:

  • Round-the-Clock Monitoring & Care - Our intruder alarm systems are monitored 24/7 from our station, with qualified engineers on call 7 days a week, 365 days a year! 
  • Use of the Latest Security Equipment - Our intruder alarm systems use the latest signalling equipment, which includes BT RedCare. This helps to ensure that the relevant emergency services are informed promptly, facilitating a rapid response to any incidents which occur.
  • Responsible and Experienced Installation - Our intruder alarms are installed with the latest codes of practice and British Standards in mind, as set down by the National Approval Council of Security Systems and the Security Systems Alarm Inspection Board. In addition, we are highly experienced in providing safe, functional and high-quality systems, with decades of experience in the industry.

If you've decided to protect your business by installing some security cameras, you may be tempted to simply buy a cheap system online and put it up in the office yourself.

However, it's a far better idea to contact a professional security installer and ask them to undertake a survey of your site - this will enable them to offer their expert opinion and recommend a surveillance system that is perfectly tailored to your requirements. They will also be able to install your new security cameras in such a way as to minimise blind spots and provide the best possible coverage of your premises.
 
All of the above services are available from IDS Security Systems Ltd. Based in Cardiff but serving clients throughout South Wales and beyond, we employ a team of experienced security camera installers who have worked in a wide range of different business premises, including shops, offices, factories, warehouses and more. We'll send a security specialist to visit your site, conduct a full survey, and recommend the right security system for your business. We can also supply your state-of-the-art security cameras, take care of the installation, and even service them if you take out a maintenance contract with us.
 
Contact IDS Cardiff today to request a quotation for your security camera installation needs.

Security is an important consideration for business owners. It can sometimes be easy to overlook that fact - many managing directors would rather focus on matters that are directly linked to the company's bottom line - but it remains a fact nonetheless. Business security, along with most other types of security, is like insurance: it's tempting to just go without, but by the time you realise just how much you needed it, it's too late.

No matter what sort of service your business provides, it's important to ensure that your site / building is secure. Many business owners look to heighten their security after an incident has occurred, but it's far better to take the necessary measures beforehand and prevent break-ins from happening in the first place.

To ensure that you don't fall victim to theft, here are a few tips to help you bolster the security of your business:

Ensure everything is locked

This may seem pretty obvious, but you'd be surprised how many times people forget to lock a door or window because they're in a rush to leave at the end of the day. Slow down and give yourself time to ensure that everything is locked; if you can't remember whether or not you checked a particular entry point (e.g. 'Did I remember to lock the windows in the break room?') then check again.

Install CCTV cameras

Installing surveillance cameras will deter criminals and help to prevent thefts from occurring. CCTV cameras can be fitted in a wide variety of locations to provide you with comprehensive coverage. To learn about the surveillance services we can offer your business, click here.

Don't hand out keys to just anyone

Only issue keys to reliable and trustworthy staff members. You don't want to hand a key to an employee who is likely to lose it or forget to lock up properly. Ensure that each keyholder understands the full lock-up process.

Control who enters your building

Installing a door entry system is a great way to control who is and isn't able to enter your building. These systems can be operated by trusted members of staff using contactless smart cards or key fobs. Door entry systems prevent strangers from strolling through your building, and therefore increase the security of your workplace and the people inside.

Fit an intruder alarm

If you want to protect your business from intruders, there's no better way to do so than fitting an intruder alarm. If triggered, your alarm system will let the authorities know that an intruder has attempted to enter your building. It's important to ensure that your alarm system is properly armed when the building is left vacant. As with the keys to your office, you shouldn't share your alarm code with everybody; appoint dedicated alarm setters whom you can trust.

Security Barriers 

Similar to door entry systems, security barriers are a great way to restrict the movement of vehicles and pedestrians on your site. We at IDS offer a fantastic range of security barrier systems; click here to find out more.

As a business owner, you no doubt want to keep the cost of running your business as low as possible. This can be achieved by - for example - moving certain systems online, or adopting an environmental management system that helps you to cut down on water and energy bills. Both of these are smart, sensible money-saving moves.
 
But what about the cost of protecting your business with a security system? Is this an expense that you can safely cut from your company's budget as long as you remember to lock up properly every night? Or is security technology a necessary expenditure that's worth the cost?
