Editor’s Note: Here at Dispatches, we are always looking for ways to help our readers do things. For some of our readers, that means helping navigate the working world, for others, it means assisting in the ever challenging question,
what’s for dinner?” For still others, it means figuring out how to balance family life with everything else. In an effort to aid in all of these endeavors, we have collaborated on this article
written specifically for our readers.

If you’re moved away from a home office and or are ready to have a storefront, make sure you’re thinking about security. It’s much easier to implement security protocol from the onset than it is to go back and redo everything later. Plus, if you have good security practices in place from the beginning you are less likely to have security issues.

Smart Locks
Wouldn’t it be awesome if your business had a drawbridge? You could simply pull up the welcome mat when annoying customers with complaints came knocking. Smart locks aren’t as impressive as a drawbridge, but they are far more practical. With smart locks, you can control exactly who can and cannot enter your place of work. Employees can be given codes and clients can be accepted through intercom systems. As well as this, when you’re not in the office, your business is more secure.

Alarm Systems
The latest alarm systems can be set up and installed with certain built-in mechanisms. For instance, you can decide under what circumstance it goes off and who it alerts. You might want a loud alarm for all to hear. Or, a silent alarm that only alerts you and perhaps the authorities. This might be best if you want to catch thieves or trespassers red-handed. For more info, have a look at different systems online. 

Security Cameras
Security cameras have three purposes. The first is to spot potential threats or dangers. There might be someone wandering around your business property who shouldn’t be there. A security camera feed can alert you of this so you can have them removed. Second, a security camera can provide you with evidence for a court case or for the police. Third, security cameras can act as deterrents. People are less likely to steal or damage your business if they know they are being watched. Make sure you always comply with state and local laws when setting up and using a security camera.
