The holiday season is different this strange year of 2020, with the pandemic lockdowns affecting all areas of daily life and business life. However, one business essential hasn’t changed – commercial security. In this blog entry the business security experts here at Chicago Locksmiths will detail some essential tips for commercial security during the 2020 holiday season.
Contactless Entrance
We recommend updating your doors to automated opening contactless entrance so that people won’t have to touch the doors with their own hands.
Security and Germ-Free Safety Synergy
We recommend utilizing smart-entry systems like Kisi or PDK IO to help integrate germ-free hands-free entrance with security features that allow doors to be unlocked with smartphone devices, fobs, or cards.
CCTV / Security Cameras
Make sure to install CCTV security cameras that provide clarity of footage, remote security alerts, motion detection, sound triggers, and customizable features. CCTV cameras are ideal for reducing theft at point of sale locations as well as a way to keep track of activities after hours.
Biometric Access Control
You can actually combine the security benefits of biometric access control systems with germ safety. You can program biometric access control systems to also utilize temperature checks and detect whether personnel are wearing masks.
Physical Security
Of course, this element remains the most priceless and important focus for any commercial property. Ensure that your doors are outfit with high quality, high security deadbolts, and that your doors are outfit with safety bars and door alarms.
