There are few better investments you can make into the safety of your family than in a robust home security system. And just like every family is different, so are there different security solutions for you to choose from. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions. Honeywell makes it possible for you to have a customized security system that is just right for your family’s unique needs.

Here are a few considerations for you as you think through what would make the best system for your family:

1. Outdoor Protection. Security really does start outside. If you can detect the presence of a would-be intruder before he makes his way into your house, you have a better chance of escaping the actual intrusion.

One way to detect his presence is with an outdoor motion detector. With Honeywell’s Total Connect Services, you can receive a notification when someone enters an area you have protected with a motion detector. You can receive this notification via email, text message or even receive a video clip of the activity.

2. Perimeter Protection. Another way to protect your family and home is with Honeywell’s FlexGuard glass break detectors. These detectors are specially designed to recognize the sound that breaking glass makes. But they are also equipped to avoid false alarms as well. These special sensors can send an alarm when the glass breaks, giving you an extra layer of protection in your home.

3. Indoor Protection. Protecting the interior of your house is important too, and Honeywell’s interior motion sensors will do just that. These sensors can protect you from those who would break into your home. But their protection does not stop there. They can also let you know if the temperature in your house changes in the extreme – for example if a burner malfunctions – giving you peace of mind as well as protection.

If you are a retail owner, you know firsthand the struggles with shoplifting. Millions of dollars are lost to retail business owners due to shoplifters stealing merchandise.

Your first line of defense should be an up-to-date security system. Video surveillance cameras, motion detectors, and remote access control are non-negotiable components of a system that can offer robust protection.

However, there are also some low-tech ways you can add additional protection to your already existing security system.

MSNBC reports from Entrepreneur.com 5 low tech ways to reduce shoplifting. You can watch the whole video here, but we have pulled the highlights from the report for you:

1. Remove anonymity. When shoplifters come to your store, they want to be unnoticed, unrecognized and anonymous. You can remove anonymity by making sure every customer that comes into your store is greeted. Look them in the eyes and let them know you see them.

2. Keep things organized. If the shelves and display areas in your store are messy, unorganized and in general disarray, it will be harder to notice when merchandise is missing.

3. Brighten things up. Are there areas in your store that are dim or poorly lit? This may apply to corners or other areas where the main lighting does not illuminate brightly. Brighten up these areas with additional bulbs to reduce the risk of shoplifting in these spaces.

4. Create a secret code. Shoplifts sometimes give off clues and look or act suspiciously. One of your employees may notice this and want to communicate this information with other employees. The solution is to have a code that can be communicated either in person or over the intercom system. This secret code will let other employees know that there is a suspicious person or activity in the store.

5. Ensure a clear line of vision. If there are barriers in your store, whether in the form of tall racks, shelves or hanging rods, you are inadvertently creating spaces where shoplifters can do their dirty work unnoticed. However, if there is a clear line of vision throughout the store, you and others can see much better what is going on.

There are many reasons why access control is a smart choice for your business.

Access control can be an integral part of a robust security system, protecting access from intruders outside your business and inside as well.

For intruders outside your business, access control lets you monitor forced entry attempts.

For inside your business, access control allows you to restrict access to sensitive areas of your building. You may have areas in your building which you want to restrict either who has access or during what hours access is granted.

Quite simply, it is a smart way to upgrade your current security system.

Honeywell’s Net AXS-123 web-based access control system lets you protect your doors, starting at one, two or three doors. This means regardless of the size of your business right now, you can get started with reliable protection; even if you only have one door to secure. 

As your business grows, however, you can add additional doors later if you need to. It is a system that is scalable and will expand with you.

Because it is web-based, you do not have to be on-site to control the system. You can monitor it remotely and run reports as needed. An added bonus is that you can log into the system from anyplace you have an internet connection. You do not have to have a dedicated PC available in order to take advantage of the web-based nature of this system.

This system is also user-friendly, making it easy to learn and operate.

It is also budget friendly, putting access control in the reach of everyone. Investing in the security of your business is critical. Honeywell’s Net AXE-123 is the perfect way to add a strong layer of protection to your already existing security plan.
