Protect Your Business with Threat Detection Systems

In 2021, several businesses in Sugar Land, TX, were burglarized, with one man committing multiple burglaries by breaking in when cleaning crews were working in the evening. While security cameras caught the suspect on tape, proactive security measures that prevent a criminal from gaining access are the best practice.

Comprehensive threat detection systems incorporate video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection, spotting intruders and trespassers before they enter your facilities. Let’s explore what makes up these systems and how they detect a threat before the unthinkable occurs.

Setting the Perimeter

The likelihood of a crime occurring on your property is significantly reduced with a strategic “layered” approach. Threat detection includes sensors, notifications, and alarms and starts at the perimeter of your property, creating the first line of defense. Ensuring your facility boundaries are impenetrable requires a modern access control system, managing who can gain entrance to the building and securing rooms inside. 

We place sensors around the physical perimeter of your property, parking lot, or building. The moment suspicious activity occurs, you, your security personnel, and the monitoring station receive an alert. Your video cameras pinpoint the intruder, and the police are deployed at the onset of detection, enabling a rapid response and stopping the intruder in their tracks. These systems are much different than those that detect an intruder only after a window has been broken or a door jimmied open. 

Smart Security Systems

Today’s smart security system works with artificial intelligence. Smart video surveillance cameras use intelligent algorithms to learn over time, differentiating between intrusions and everyday occurrences and allowing them to recognize real threats. Even today’s advanced motion detectors interpret behaviors, allowing them to ignore daily interactions and animals and activating an alarm only when a real threat occurs.

This means they can distinguish between someone walking by your property or trying to scale the fence. Should a false alarm occur, it remembers the incident, and this type of event no longer signals the alarm.
