The corporate environment is full of resources and important information that needs care. It is high-value, precision, sensitive or rare equipment, financial details, contract, projects and formulas, among other data and objects, that fall into the wrong hands, can compromise the operation of the business and harm the results. For this reason, corporate security is a relevant issue that deserves the attention of managers. It is not always possible to observe everything that happens or drastically restrict the level of permission and prevent people from circulating where there is sensitive material. By the way, this is one of the main concerns of entrepreneurs and small and medium business owners: how to ensure a good level of security in companies without spending too much?

Fortunately, there are several modern and highly effective solutions that can be implemented quickly. These features primarily address the following enterprise security needs:

• monitoring of specific areas;
• theft and intrusion prevention;
• access limitation;
• power supply for emergency situations.

The features you will see in this text are easily found in the market. Read carefully, see which ones are essential to your business and mitigate the risks that the lack of a good business security system can bring.

Quality monitoring: the key to a good enterprise security system

You may have noticed that in virtually every business establishment dealing with the public there is at least one surveillance camera. They play an important role in maintaining security in companies, as they inhibit opportunist action, enable real-time verification of situations, and record everything over a period of time. This feature is one of the most popular in the history of enterprise security systems - even for home environments. Over time it has evolved such that the gain in quality and functionality over the past years is enormous.

For example, did you know that you no longer need to make major interventions to install a camcorder system within your company? The most modern equipment available on the market, such as IP cameras, requires only one cable to function. No more breaking walls and wasting time passing hundreds of meters of wires for power and data.

Devices such as our 1000 and 3000 series CCTV IP cameras They are the best example: Modern and innovative, they are designed to meet the security needs of small and medium-sized businesses. They pick up and transmit digital signals that travel over network cables - through which power can also be supplied for camera operation. The practicality gain at installation time is significant as it is not necessary for each device to be connected to a digital video recorder (DVR): Just connect it to the internet and set up a Network Video Recorder (NVR) to receive and record the captured signals. Images are professional quality and high definition even when operating in dimly lit places.

Enterprise Security Technology: Remote Access Networking

The functionalities of network-based cameras and video recorders that you read earlier also include a practical differentiator: the ability to remotely monitor the environment through mobile applications and dedicated software. Quite a win for anyone who wants to know if their small or medium business is safe all the time.

For this it is very important that the network to which the cameras are connected is not the same used in the day to day business or that of customers. The idea is to ensure more reliability and avoid the slowness caused by excessive demand. Another advantage of keeping two networks available is that video files are even safer and less subject to damage from external devices. By the way: Do you know the best way to build a high-performance Wi-Fi network to meet a company's needs?

The corporate access points were developed especially for this. They have the ability to connect multiple users simultaneously and support the high demand of a corporate environment and can be used in business environments - such as small and medium businesses. In addition to robust performance, this device can have functions for you to use Wi-Fi as a marketing tool for business:

• Wi-Fi Marketing- Release Wi-Fi after the customer watches an image or video of their choice;
• Facebook Wi-Fi -network access through Facebook Check-in.

You can also control your network and user traffic through apps available for smartphones and tablets.

 

Uninterrupted Power

When investing in a business security system it is common for people to think only of the items we have already talked about and forget one that makes all the difference - especially in emergency situations: UPS. He is the one who will ensure that cameras, network and access controls continue to function even if a blackout occurs.

This type of equipment offers extra protection and extra power for electronic equipment anywhere. It prevents devices connected to it from being damaged due to voltage fluctuations, especially those that may occur when power returns. This feature is strategic for small and midsize businesses that, in addition to security systems, have equipment that cannot be turned off or electronically sensitive.

Access Control: An Important Part of Business Security

To solve the problem of moving people around sensitive areas of the company, a very important feature that can be installed is access control. The operation is simple: by means of a digital lock It is already possible to delimit the areas to which employees or customers will have access through the granting of passwords, tags or or registration of biometrics.

With a high degree of security and prices compatible with the financial reality of small and medium businesses in the country, digital locks can be applied to sliding, glass or wooden doors, taking advantage of the same existing hole to house the previous one. This equipment is powered by batteries that have an intelligent charge monitoring system that alerts the user when they are near the end. To configure access, you can register tags that can be delivered to those who will enter the environments or register the fingerprints of the space goer.

Lighting Presence Sensors

These devices have two very important functions within your business security system: helping to reduce electricity consumption, making it easy to turn on lamps and increasing the sense of security.

The lighting presence sensors They are designed to turn on lamps in a given area by detecting the movement of people, medium and large animals and objects by means of an infrared sensor that recognizes heat sources. This avoids keeping lights on in a dull environment without eliminating the convenience of turning them on automatically when needed, saving energy

As for corporate security, the sensor inhibits intruders by detecting presence and triggering the lamp, increasing illuminated area and visibility in semi-open environments.

Alarms and Sensors System

In addition to these solutions that can be applied from within to increase security for small and midsize businesses, it is important to have an efficient system that helps monitor any intrusion attempts and damage to assets.

One of the most practical resources in this regard is alarm centrals and the sensors. They can be monitored or unmonitored, and the first type allows for connection to surveillance service providers who can determine the dispatch of specialized teams to verify the cause of the trigger. Sensors, on the other hand, are intrusion detection devices through different technologies, which can identify:

• opening of doors and windows;
• mass or heat displacement;
• interruption of infrared barriers and other changes.

The ideal solution to use is related to the installation location, as each model has its specification (indoor, semi-open or external areas).

The most modern equipment has several configuration zones, which is ideal for business spaces. There are also features such as application monitoring and event forwarding to two different places.

As you have seen, the number and level of solutions available on the market to ensure enterprise security are very good. Intelbras can help you with products that are designed specifically for the Brazilian market and are in line with global electronic security standards and trends.

Correctly analyze your needs and invest in quality resources that work well all the time. This shows concern for your assets and enhances the value added to your business.

Secure Home Kit: Digital Lock + Video Door Knocker

Safety never hurts and with an integrated security kit digital lock and video entry, the entrance of the house, in addition to more protection, will gain a different look.

Speaking of digital locks, design and practicality are the main features of this product: no keys are required and access is via passwords, approach cards or biometrics. By the way, the products with biometrics are very modern and very safe, since they depend on the registered digital to open the door. In this line, Intelbras has the models FR 220 (overlap, which can be placed next to the conventional lock) and the FR 330 (built-in).
