When it comes to burglary, some of the most vulnerable aspects of your business are the windows on your building.

Burglars can break through the class and then either climb through or simply reach around and unlock the door and let themselves in that way.

Even though the sound of breaking glass may be loud enough to alert those nearby that a burglary is in progress, it is not a good idea to depend on this and hope that neighbors or passers-by alert the authorities. They may not even hear the sound and if they do, there is no guarantee they will be motivated to get involved and call the police.

A good solution for taking your business security into your own hands is to use Honeywell’s FlexGuard Glassbreak Detectors.

These intelligent detectors are able to recognize the sound of breaking glass with a minimum of false alarms. If an intrusion occurs, the FlexGuard Glassbreak Detector will trigger your alarm system.

Here are a few features from Honeywell’s specifications. Read more here.

Dual Technology Flex-Audio Principle

Positively detects and confirms breaking glass by analyzing both "flex" (impact) and "audio" (shattering) frequencies. For an alarm to occur the flex signal must be followed by an audio signal within a prescribed time frame.

Signal Verification

Both flex and audio signals must register valid amplitude, duration and frequency for an alarm to occur.

Signal Filtering

Thorough filtering and processing of all signals provides greater immunity to false alarms.

Broad Range

Detects glass breakage from distances up to 30' (9 m). The FlexGuard FG-730 detector sets the industry standard in glassbreak detectors.

Dual Flex/Audio Technology

Provides excellent catch performance while virtually eliminating false alarms.

Indicator LEDs

LED alarm indicator for testing flex and audio technologies.

Circuit Protection

Prevents shorts, overloads and reverse-polarity connections from causing damage.

Alarm Memory

Alarm LED can be set to latch upon alarm; helps identify which unit alarmed in multiple detector applications.

Easy Installation and Set-Up

Mount within 9m (30') of the glass to be protected. (Can be adjusted to suit characteristics of each location.)

Just because you travel often does not mean you have to be out of touch with what is happening at work or at home. Honeywell Total Connect Remote Services is an award winning product that can bring you peace of mind when you need it most.

Click the video to watch Honeywell’s short description of this powerful service. Here are some highlights from the presentation:

From your mobile device, Total Connect allows you to operate your security system, thermostats, lights, locks and other items as well. But with Honeywell’s tracking services, you are able to use the power of GPS technology to track anything you want.

It works by using GPS satellites in space to communicate with signals communicated from any place on earth. The satellites then send the new information back to the device on earth.

Honeywell harnesses this powerful technology by using it to allow you to track your assets – from vehicles to motorcycles – you can keep up with your assets in real time.

Here are some of the categories you are able to track with this service: location, speed, and you can even set up geo-fencing. Geo-fencing allows you to be notified when your asset enters or leaves an area whose parameters you set up in advance.

Honeywell’s tracking services also allows you to see historical reports that show where your asset has been in the past. You can track back up to 90 days in the past.

You can use either the asset tracker (which monitors assets like trailers or classic cars by way of a small device you place in the asset) or the vehicle tracker (which monitors cars, trucks or service vans). You will even be able to track the speed at which your vehicle is traveling; a notification will be sent to you. It is also possible to analyze the stops and starts the vehicle has made – great for keeping up with your fleet of business vehicles!

How can Honeywell Video surveillance improve and protect your business? Here are just a few ways:

Setting up video security cameras in key locations around your business makes it possible for you to analyze the traffic pattern in your store and allow you to review any suspicious activity. If you suspect shoplifting, you can review the video recording to obtain additional and perhaps even critical information.

Having video recordings can also help decrease liability issues. If someone, whether employee or customer, claims wrongdoing on your part, having a video recording of the alleged incident may provide the necessary information to solve the situation.

Honeywell video surveillance can help you evaluate customer experience. By analyzing the recordings from the cameras, you can determine whether there are unusually long lines a certain times of the day, if customers are getting the help they need, and any undesirable situations that may come up repeatedly.

Employee behavior is another area in which Honeywell video security can protect your business. You cannot be at your business 24/7, and even when you are there, you cannot watch every area. With video recording, however, you can monitor the behavior and activity of your employees. Are they complying with your policies? Are they treating customers with respect? Are they involved in employee theft and therefore causing you to lose money and inventory?

Video surveillance can help you find out the answers to these questions and then take the appropriate action if any is needed. With Honeywell technology, you can also view the information remotely. With internet access, you can view in real time the activities going on at your business, regardless of where you are. You can view on your computer, your phone or your other mobile device.
