What is security monitoring?
Security monitoring involves the use of security systems that are monitored by a professional security company. What this means is that your monitored security systems are constantly being checked to ensure that nothing is missed. Without security monitoring, you have to monitor your security systems yourself. Not only does this increase the risk of something being missed but it also consumes a lot of time. With security monitoring, you get the convenience of not having to monitor your own security and the peace of mind that your security is in capable hands.
How does security monitoring ensure a quick response?
Because of the nature of security monitoring, your security company will know the instant that something is picked up by your monitored security systems. When this happens, the security company can respond immediately following the planned security response that you set up with them. A planned security response is a plan that you make with your security company that determines in advance how the security company will respond to various security events. This cuts down on time by removing the need for decision-making, allowing for an immediate response.
What are the benefits of a quick response?
A quick response is everything when your security is breached. The goals when responding to an intruder are to minimise the damage that they cause and stop them from leaving. The earlier the security company can respond to the intruder, the less time the intruder has to cause damage or get away with your belongings. The immediate response allowed by security monitoring gives the intruder as little time as possible, allowing you to keep damages to an absolute minimum. Because of this, it is not an exaggeration to say that security monitoring is one of the most effective ways to increase your security.
