Jewellery shops are prime targets for theft due to the high value of the items they sell and store. This means that security is a top priority for jewellery shop owners in order to protect both their inventory and their staff and customers.
Not sure what kind of security your jewellery shop needs? Here’s how IDS can help!
CCTV Cameras
CCTV cameras are a critical part of any security system, plus they are one of the most effective burglar deterrents. When installing CCTV in a jewellery shop, the cameras should ideally cover the entire shop, including any entrances, exits, high value display cases and blind spots.
By installing CCTV surveillance, you can also be sure that any break-ins or crimes committed on your property are caught on camera and can be sent immediately to the authorities as evidence.
You can even get CCTV cameras installed with motion sensors that trigger automatic recording when motion is detected, cutting down the amount of security footage that needs to be stored. Also, many modern CCTV systems offer remote viewing via smartphones or computers, so the business owner or security team can check in on the shop from anywhere.
Intruder Alarms
Intruder alarms are another essential for jewellery shop owners. A loud, blaring alarm system is a powerful deterrent for any intruder, as the system will not only alert the business owner as soon as the security breach occurs, but also neighbouring businesses or passersby, thus increasing the chances of the criminals being stopped in the act.
We recommend that you install several intruder alarms with motion sensors near your windows, doors and valuable display cases for extra security. Displaying signs that indicate the presence of alarm systems and CCTV cameras can also help to discourage criminals from targeting your jewellery shop in the first place.
Intruder alarms can also be integrated with other security systems like CCTV cameras and access control to create a comprehensive security network.
Access Control
Access control systems are another ideal form of security for jewellery shops, particularly if they have multiple storage rooms, valuable displays or restricted areas like safes and vaults. By installing an access control system that uses intercom, biometric data, keycards or fobs, you can ensure that only authorised personnel can enter these areas or handle valuable stock.
This is also a great way to deter internal theft, a serious concern in jewellery shops. Access control systems can track who enters specific areas and when, this information can then be reviewed if there are suspicions of theft or misconduct. These systems can also be used to limit customer access to areas with high-value items, reducing the likelihood of shoplifting.
Access control systems can also be set up to automatically lock down certain areas of the store in an emergency like a robbery. This helps to protect employees, customers and inventory from harm.
