Help is on the way - What a panic button can do for you

Protecting your business and employees from criminals is all about preparation, which is why many Australian shop owners are now investing in business security solutions.

By installing a comprehensive and reliable alarm system, in combination with well positioned and correctly installed CCTV cameras, you can deter criminals while also ensuring that, should a crime occur, the police will be armed with all the information they need to conduct a full investigation.

However business owners looking to take their security to the next level and offer their employees full peace of mind and safety 24/7 might consider investing in a panic button.

The Panic Button ND100 is a great option as it is small, easily hidden and is connected straight into an intrusion panel.

With a panic button such as this close by, employees will be able to subtly manually trigger an alarm should they find themselves in any sort of danger.

In an armed robbery situation, it is important that staff members co-operate immediately and completely for their own safety.

But by triggering an alarm via a hidden panic button, they can immediately let police know that a dangerous situation is unfolding and ensure that help is on the way.

That makes the Panic Button ND100 a great option for banks, jewellery stores, pawn shops or any other retail environment where there is a risk of theft present.

However it can also be used for domestic security purposes, in any house where valuables are stored and residents want to have a quick and subtle way to call for assistance.

Taking the extra step towards ensuring the security of your business is not only a great way to protect your property, but also shows that you care about the safety and well being of your employees.

For that reason, installing a reliable panic button should be considered a worthwhile investment for any security-conscious business owner. duress buttons #@ctc_comms

Daylight savings reminder: check your home alarm

Next Sunday (October 7) marks the start of daylight savings for the summer of 2012-13, and households in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT will all be setting their clocks forward one hour in order to take advantage of the warmer weather. Daylight savings is a fantastic opportunity for you to perform a few important tasks around the home. For example, we are often encouraged to change the batteries in our smoke alarms at this time of year, to ensure they are fully charged and ready for an emergency. Another thing you might want to check, and something that many people fail to take into consideration, is whether the batteries in your home alarm system are fully charged and working correctly. Wireless alarm systems are a great choice for people wanting to cut down on installation and reduce the amount of cables in their homes; however the trade off is that these systems rely on battery power. If you have an alarm system with old, expired or dead batteries, then

Safety in darkness: the advantage of infrared CCTV cameras

While criminals might target your business at any time, day or night, it is no secret that they often choose to operate under the cover of darkness. Night offers protection from prying eyes, with fewer potential witnesses, and all too often people arrive at their place of work in the morning only to find signs of an intrusion and missing property or vandalism. That is why it is important to ensure you are monitoring your business at all times, and the best way to do this is with an infrared CCTV camera. These work differently to regular cameras as they are able to detect and convert heat energy into an electrical signal, which can then be converted into a representative image. Infrared cameras are an ideal option for outdoor shooting as they offer a far superior picture in low light conditions. However modern infrared cameras are also adept at indoor shooting as well, or for capturing any area where variable light conditions might make a regular CCTV camera less ideal. On
