According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO), theft crime has climbed by 39% in 2022, resulting in the crime category having the largest increase over that period. By using Proactive CCTV monitoring the aim is to reduce this figure and encourage those in the Hardware and Builder’s Merchants Industry not to become another statistic of the CSO.
Many suppliers and retailers in the hardware and builder’s merchant industry have already begun upgrading their site security systems.
Users are replacing their current outdated systems with new ones that come with high-resolution images, first class analytics, easier initial setup and generally a longer lifespan that require less maintenance.
However, many users forget that it is not all about camera quality and that often the most important component in making your security system PRO ACTIVE is a fast response time.
In most situations, owners, keyholders, and Gardaí arrive at the scene within 15-20 minutes. Significant damage can be done by that time.
By utilising Live Audio Systems, site owners can challenge and prevent intruders prior to their entry into your facility. This greatly decreases the likelihood of damage and theft. Using live audio can cut the reaction time from 15-20 minutes to 15-20 seconds.
From the experience of MYNET Security, providing this extra layer of security has seen a success rate of over 90% in the prevention of any criminal activity. Thus, saving their clients unnecessary damage to property, increased theft of assets and any potential downtime for the business.
