Owners of businesses and commercial properties have invested a lot of time and money into their enterprises. It is important to protect these properties and the investments that they represent. Security companies specializing in commercial security offer everything from master key systems to closed circuit television and cameras for the purposes of protecting places of business from intruders. Installing a Corporate Security System such as CCTV or an electronic key card system will ensure that commercial buildings and the valuable property they house remain safe and secure, even after business hours.
Key cards, also sometimes called security pass cards, allow employees and other approved visitors access to a property, while effectively keeping out any unwanted visitors. These can be programmed for general access or individually encoded to contain information about each individual cardholder using the electronic locking system. The information is encoded on a magnetic strip on the back of the card with an electromagnet, then its holder is allowed or denied access to the building or specific areas within it by running their card through a card reader. This may be an insert reader, a swipe reader, or a proximity reader. They all work the same way. If the information on the key card indicates that the holder has clearance to enter, the door will open. If not, it will remain locked, keeping out anyone who does not have permission to enter.
For those enterprises that require public access such as stores and certain types of office buildings, electronic keys may be impractical. This doesn’t mean that building owners have to be resigned to trusting their property’s safety to fate. CCTV, or closed circuit television, offers a practical solution by monitoring sensitive areas with video cameras. Any video captured is only available to those authorized to access the computers to which the video is sent. It can then be observed real-time by hired security personnel, or archived for later review.
This or another type of Corporate Security System will often deter potential intruders before any break in has even occurred. Business owners can visit for more information about how to best protect their commercial properties. You can visit their Facebook places for local information.
