As a business owner, do you find yourself questioning the safety of your business? You may ask yourself, “is my business protected?” or “is my property safe overnight?” CPI Security prides itself on protecting businesses across the Southeast, especially with its newest overnight service called Night Guard. Here are three ways CPI’s Night Guard safeguards your business.
What is Night Guard?
Unlike traditional alarms that rely on a physical breach to set off the system, Night Guard intervenes before a burglar breaks in. During the overnight hours, when most break-ins occur, CPI’s 24/7 central monitoring station is on guard. Using AI-powered and thermal-imaging cameras, an alert will come through to the monitoring center whenever the camera detects activity. A central station operator can then pull the live video feed and assess the situation. If they observe someone acting suspiciously, they can intervene by utilizing two-way audio, sirens, and lights to deter the person from continuing. If the person continues to act suspiciously or breaks the law, CPI’s central station operator can dispatch authorities in real time. This often happens while customers are sound asleep, making Night Guard especially appealing because business owners don’t have to worry about monitoring their alarm systems 24/7.
Reduced number of break-ins
The first way CPI’s Night Guard safeguards your business is by reducing the number of break-ins that occur. CPI’s Night Guard improves business safety by catching perpetrators before it’s too late. Unlike traditional alarms, Night Guard can stop suspicious activity before it turns criminal. Because a central station operator intervenes when the camera detects a person before they breach the business, fewer break-ins occur.
Reduced number of false alarms
The second way CPI’s Night guard safeguards your business is by reducing the number of false alarms. Because CPI central station operators actively view live video feeds and verify if suspicious or criminal activity is happening, they only call the authorities to confirmed situations. Verifying alarms is especially important because law enforcement’s time and resources cannot and should not be wasted. Night Guard is improving business safety by reducing the number of false alarms the authorities respond to.
Cost effectiveness
The third way CPI’s Night Guard safeguards your business is by protecting it in a cost effective manner. Break-ins can be costly for business owners. The average break-in costs a person $2,661, according to the FBI. This can include anything from items taken to property damage to the store. You can see why businesses would be keen to invest heavily in crime-averting tactics like alarm systems to even armed guards. Night Guard, however, is a more cost-effective resource because you can cover the area with cameras and rely on the professional monitoring center to intervene if necessary.
How CPI can help
Night Guard is already making significant headway in improving business safety across the Southeast. The only way to improve it is for more business owners to adopt it. CPI can help since it is the first and only security provider in the Southeast to offer a service of this kind.
In addition to Night Guard, CPI offers customized business security solutions to protect what matters most including access control, fire protection, business activity analytics, and more.
