In Ireland, recent crime statistics make for sobering reading. The Central Statistics Office has steadily shown an increase in everything from robberies to theft and, most worrying of all, homicide. It’s not all doom and gloom, however, as other crimes like fraud and related offences dropped when comparing figures year on year. By their very nature, statistics go up and down, and rather than reacting with panic, these figures should demonstrate the importance of taking particular steps to protect your business from crime.
There has never been a better time to consider upgrading access control to your building, CCTV system, and integrated alarms. Modern security equipment has embraced the potential of smart technology. CCTV systems can be monitored through a smartphone. Access to a building can be controlled remotely, and intercom systems are now fully app-controlled. While certain crimes are on the rise, the technology to help protect property from criminals has never been better. In this blog, we want to look at some of the equipment available from one of Dublin’s best security companies, Aztec Security Systems.
Security Systems
As the security experts at Aztec Security Systems will tell you, it’s important not to think of pieces of security equipment individually. Instead, everything from intercom systems, alarms, CCTV and monitoring solutions should be seen as one interconnected system. Smart technology has allowed alarms to communicate with CCTV systems and intercoms to connect with access control systems. In effect, a security system is no longer a simple alarm. Instead, it’s a robust and modern monitoring and protection system that not only prevents crime but also takes pictures of criminals, alerts the authorities to any unauthorised access attempts and prevents entry of unauthorised individuals.
Burglar Alarms
The first solution most people think of when considering security systems is a burglar alarm. At its most basic, an alarm goes off when a window or door is opened illegally. Modern burglar alarms can be connected with other solutions, like a monitoring solution. This is when relevant authorities are contacted, and an alarm is triggered. This can include alerting the gardai and sending a notification to an app. Aztec can advise on alarms in Dublin if you’re looking to upgrade.

CCTV
In the last decade, CCTV equipment has seen some significant upgrades. Most CCTV systems now have app connectivity to monitor premises through your phone. When combined with motion detectors and alarms, you can get notifications to check your CCTV feed. Aztec Security Systems can advise on the very best cameras for your commercial premises.

Access Control
A modern access control system allows for site control like never before. From simple numerical input devices to fingerprint scanners, many choices are available. Access control can restrict access to an entire property or to certain parts of it. Modern systems allow for a massive amount of customisation.
