1. Install Layered Protection

One camera or a single alarm isn’t enough. Use a multi-layered approach: perimeter beams, door sensors, motion detectors, and CCTV that covers all key zones.

Thompsons Tip: Link your system to a 24/7 control room for real-time response, not just recordings.

2. Secure Your Perimeter First

Good fences do make good business partners. Ensure boundary walls are reinforced, access points are well-lit, and gates are automated or guarded.

Thompsons Tip: Add electric fencing and beam detection to your outer perimeter for early warnings.

3. Schedule Random Guard Patrols

Predictable routines can be exploited. Our mobile patrol units perform random checks during off-hours to deter break-ins and identify signs of tampering.

Thompsons Tip: Visible patrols are a strong deterrent. Consider patrol signage and flashing lights to show presence.

4. Limit Access After Hours

Set clear protocols on who can access the building after hours. Use biometric readers or digital logs to track entries and exits.

Thompsons Tip: Ensure ex-employees are immediately removed from your access system.

5. Don’t Forget the Human Factor

Many security breaches happen due to internal negligence. Educate staff on end-of-day protocols like locking doors, switching on alarms, and reporting suspicious behavior.

Thompsons Tip: A quick 5-minute lock-up checklist can prevent a major loss.
