Some Common Burglar Alarm Myths:
They're too expensive. These days, a burglar alarm system for businesses are quite affordable - a small business can get a basic system for a few hundred dollars. Many vendors provide the equipment and installation for a modest fee and charge a low monthly monitoring rate.
There is no value to the bottom line. You may never need it, but the cost of maintaining a burglar alarm will pale in comparison to the loses realized without protection – equipment, merchandise, customer information, operation uptime and even employee confidence in a safe work environment.
False Alarms will have us “Crying Wolf”. Sting burglar alarms allow you to cancel them yourself before authorities are notified. There are also audible delay features to give authorized personal time to prove to the monitoring station that they belong there.
I don't need one; I have insurance. Insurance exists to replace lost, stolen, or damaged property. But it can't replace the losses your company experiences due to downtime. What happens if an intruder rips up your phone system or smashes your servers? How about if they steal confidential information about your customers or partners? Insurance won't reimburse you for business lost or the fear your customers experience from having their identity tampered with.
The system won't work if my phone lines are cut or I lose power. Most burglar alarm systems are equipped with sophisticated battery and/or cellular backup systems that kick in right away should your power or phone connection fail.
