Security is paramount when it comes to running a business, and you need around-the-clock control to cover all your bases. Fortunately, smartphones can provide top-level security and access control to protect your company from potential intruders. To help you understand the unique capabilities of your smartphone, Emergency Systems has provided the following guide.

How to Improve Business Security With Your Smartphone

Gain Access Control Remotely

When you’re running a business, you don’t have the time or ability to monitor your building around the clock. Fortunately, your smartphone will put you in the driver’s seat, so you can monitor activity from afar. You can even illuminate your facility with motion-sensor lights. This will cut down on energy costs by disabling lights when they’re not needed.

Pair Your Phone With Security Cameras to Monitor Safety

Pair your smartphone with security cameras for the ultimate protection against intruders. You can program your phone to receive notifications whenever there is suspicious activity, such as loitering, theft, or fraudulent behavior. You’ll also be able to exercise control as though you were present by arming and disarming security systems, granting door access to pre-selected personnel, and overseeing activity reports.

Get Threat Alerts in Real Time

Before the invention of smartphones, it was much more difficult to prevent break-ins, as you wouldn’t know about them until it was too late. However, with real-time mobile alerts, you’ll receive up-to-the-minute notifications that allow you to take swift action. You can set up notifications for the beginning of a surveillance recording, the triggering of an alarm, and the moment someone enters a restricted area.
