Security for Small Business
Every businessperson knows that installing a security system is a good idea—but unfortunately, not everyone actually installs one until it’s too late.
There’s nothing more important than the security of your business. Your livelihood needs protection from intruders, as well as theft from both customers and employees. Don’t forget about monitoring smoke and carbon monoxide levels, as those factors also count as crucial security measures.
But it’s about more than merely adding security devices. You also require the peace of mind in knowing that any components you add are connected to a 24/7 central station monitoring service.
This vital layer of protection ensures your business is always connected to the proper authorities and first responders who can immediately respond to any potential threats or incidents.
Choose from the following components, such as:
Burglar Alarm Systems
Protect your business’ interior and exterior premises from intruders and break-ins.
You can choose from one to all of the following components:
Control Panels and Keypads:
These provide complete control over your security system from within your business, but also via remote access.
Alarm Sensors:
Monitor changes in your business environment, such as motion detection.
Door Locks:
Add a unique code should you or authorized employees forget keys or become locked out. Smart automation facilitates remote access from your mobile device.
Indoor and Outdoor Cameras:
The protection you need to ensure your business is safeguarded 24/7. Monitor interior and exterior activities whether you’re at your business or not.
- Remote monitoring through the Alarm.com app alerts you to unusual activities within your business.
- Security cameras can also work as tracking and reporting devices to monitor your employee productivity or to review an in-house accident.
Fire Protection
Installing a fire alarm system requires essential state codes and regulations. This includes system installation, related monitoring, and testing/inspection.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
These protect you and your employees from inhaling smoke and noxious gases that could emanate from a source, such as gas fireplaces, appliances, and other devices. Having a smoke and carbon monoxide detector installed in your small business is another step to safeguarding it against this deadly gas, while also protecting it against fires.

Smart Home and Business Monitoring Capabilities
Home security systems that utilize any of the above elements can be integrated into your small-to-medium business (SMB) solution. Business owners can utilize home automation technology to monitor any suspicious activity and can even receive alerts to any potential security breaches.
The goal of smart home security technology is rather basic—it’s to make life easier, more comfortable, and more efficient. These benefits are just as important in your small- or medium-sized business. A true SMB solution allows you to remotely monitor business activities from your home and vice-versa.
This interconnected security protocol adds to your overall peace of mind. Meanwhile, if you work from a home office, consider adding separate security technologies within your specific space.

General Security detected an issue with my Alarm System. They contacted me concerning this matter. We set up a date for them to diagnose the issue. They came to my shop on time and fixed the problem. The technician was very nice and very professional and more importantly out of my way. I'm so grateful.
