From wireless connectivity and cloud storage to motion detection, AI capabilities, and automated health monitoring, here are 8 key traits of the best small business camera systems.
A single physical security incident at utility sites, like power facilities and water treatment plants, can have a massive impact. That’s exactly what happened in 2018 where two men attempted to steal copper from a Trafford, Pennsylvania substation, knocked out power to local businesses.
Despite easing COVID-19 restrictions, businesses continue to experience rising crime and new threats. What’s to blame for this increase? And are businesses taking the necessary steps to deter crime as we enter 2023?
As your project expands both horizontally and vertically, we must consider the associated security risks and consistently adjust your security strategy to keep criminals out.
High-definition cameras see further and into the darkest corners. Human security guards may have trouble seeing in low-light conditions. A virtual security guard can use cameras specially equipped for low light conditions to see, literally, everywhere on your property.
Security cameras are more suitable for small businesses. Larger companies integrate security cameras into a surveillance infrastructure to better protect their property.
If your security system isn’t smart, you’ve already fallen behind criminals. Older CCTV security systems are really only useful for responding to burglaries and vandalism after they’ve happened.
By far the most popular video security cameras today are IP-enabled and cloud connected. But even if your security cameras lack Wi-Fi, the cell network can keep you connected to your property.
Did you know the average arrest rate for burglaries is only 13%? Police need a helping hand from business owners to increase these numbers. That help can come in the form of security cameras for your business.

Most of us don’t think of small trailers as a theft target, but they are. It takes thieves approximately two minutes to steal a small trailer, even when the trailer is secured with chains and wheel locks.
From dealerships to body shops and beyond, catalytic converter thefts continue to wreak havoc across the country and can happen virtually anywhere.
Loaded with hazardous materials and dangerous conditions, the site of a former psychiatric hospital in Northville Township, Michigan is not where trespassers should be.
It’s no secret that most people think the economy and crime are linked. Specifically, crime tends to increase during rough patches and decrease in better times.
Thieves become more brazen, business operations change, or a global pandemic enters the scene. In any event, security strategies need to be re-examined twice a year at a minimum.
Leverage our top five “not-so-secret” features that go beyond security, help optimize business operations, and maximize your security investment.
Old school padlocks, tall fencing, and self-storage security camera systems that simply record activity aren’t enough anymore.
Today’s video surveillance cameras can detect motion in a specific area of your business. Since they use AI, they can discern a bag blowing across the lot or an overly curious cat versus a human shape. But that’s only the starting point for their effectiveness.
