Business Security FAQ
Yes, our business security systems are installed, monitored, and maintained by us. We have monitoring available 24/7 to ensure your business is secure.
Yes, installing a building security system can lower your insurance premiums, especially for commercial properties. Insurance providers often offer discounts because security systems:
- Reduce the risk of theft, vandalism, and property damage
- Help detect and mitigate incidents like fires, floods, or unauthorized access early
- Provide evidence that supports quicker claim processing
Types of security features that may qualify:
- Burglar alarms and intrusion detection systems
- 24/7 monitored surveillance cameras (CCTV)
- Fire and smoke detection systems
- Access control systems (e.g., keycards, biometric entry)
- Environmental sensors (flood, temperature, gas leak detection)
What to Do:
- Contact your insurer and ask which security upgrades qualify for premium reductions.
- Keep records and certifications from licensed installers.
- Ensure monitoring is active if it’s required for the discount (some policies only offer discounts for professionally monitored systems).
In some cases, discounts can range from 5% to 20%, depending on the provider and system installed.
