Churches Fire & Security service and maintain Intruder Alarms for businesses across all industries throughout the United Kingdom.
Whilst intruder alarms are often in place for security purposes, or as stipulated by insurance companies, there are several additional benefits to installing intruder alarms on business premises.
Benefits Of Intruder Alarms
Deter Criminals
The clear presence of an intruder alarm system can help dissuade someone with potentially negative intentions from attempting to bring harm to a business. Figures released by the Home Office show that 84% of intruders avoid properties with a clear Intruder Alarm system in place.
Safer Working Environment
With an intruder alarm system in place, one can offer employees a safer working environment, particularly if they work late shifts or non 9-5 hours (when break-ins are more likely to occur).
Instant Response
If one chooses a monitored intruder alarm system, a nominated key holder can be alerted, or the signal is sent to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). If part of the service agreement, the ARC can then alert the key holder or initiate a police or security response.
Peace of Mind
With an intruder alarm system in place, one can feel confident and secure when away from the business. With many businesses currently closed or unoccupied with people working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is particularly significant.
