The Features of a Remote Security System

Today’s systems are robust, integrating disparate security measures into a unified, cohesive unit. These security systems offer protection from intruders and environmental threats through the use of sensors, monitors, access control, and high-definition video.

A remote security system allows operators to access their organization and receive notifications at any time and from any location. With an internet connection, you can view live video footage and receive email or text alerts on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

Using the same device and system, you can arm the alarm and lock the doors, shut down utilities, monitor employees’ arrivals and departures, and control access to the buildings and restricted areas. Should a security event occur, you or your security team can determine if it warrants notifying first responders.  

Real-Time Notifications

Some of the most widely used features of a remote security system lie in its watchful eye and concerns the everyday affairs in an organization. For example, you’ll receive immediate alerts should an employee forget to lock the door and arm the alarm when they leave. By checking the surveillance cameras, you or your security team can determine if the act was a simple act of forgetfulness.

Impact on Employees

According to The High Court, 95% of all businesses have experienced employee theft. However, keeping an eye on employees through video surveillance can alter this all-too-common occurrence.

One study researched the effects of video monitoring on employees at 392 restaurants. Researchers found that, in addition to declining employee theft, production and sales increased. Monitoring employees enables operators to see prohibited activities and offers the ability to reward exceptional performance, providing positive feedback to dedicated employees.

Protect Remote Access

While the internet of things has created remarkable technology that has changed security, it has also increased security threats. Today's cybercriminals continue to search for access to a company’s network, and remote systems can be a doorway to unauthorized access if improperly installed and managed. Important considerations include keeping operating systems updated, encrypting network video streams, and multi-factor authentication.
