With the recent Security Officers strike in the Twin Cities it is a good time to think about automation in security. Security should not rely solely on personnel and it should be somewhat dynamic in its approach. There can be a lot at stake when securing your building, corporate documents, trade secrets, and key personnel. With modern technology, you can reduce the necessary workforce while maintaining the integrity of your building's security.
There are a number of ways to work with a limited security force, one is to position security cameras in key locations to maximize the view that security guards have from their consoles. Intrusion detection devices can help monitor whether or not someone has accessed an area that they should not have. This reduces the number of time guards may need to spend doing their rounds.
These are just a few ideas, Security 101 can design, engineer, and install a custom solution for your business. We hope that all turns out well for the strikers and for the businesses affected and remind you to always keep security in mind before it is too late.
