If you are having a problem with inventory loss due to theft, consider a low-tech business security system idea that just might save you money. Decide which of your merchandise is the most valuable and vulnerable to being stolen, and move these items to the very middle of the store.
The reason you should do this is to cause the crook to have to walk right through the middle of the store and into a more obvious and noticeable area to get to the valuable items before he can steal them. The idea is to hopefully cause him to change him mind, when he comes to the realization of how risky it will be for him to do this.
It is smart to always be on the lookout for other helpful ideas that you can implement and keep you products safe from criminals. One good idea is to meet with other store owners regularly. You can get together with them and find out what low-tech ways they are keeping their stores safer from burglary.
Now, while low tech systems are great, you may want the added security that comes from a more robust and technical business security system. If this is the case, you could put in an alarm system. By wiring your exits and also your windows, you will greatly increase the protection in your store.
When someone tries to break in, an alarm will sound not only in the store (which may in fact scare the crook away), but an alert will be sent to your security monitoring company.
When you monitoring company gets the notification, they can call the authorities and send help immediately. Another added layer of protection you can get is cameras that are controlled by motion detectors. They will record the burglar\'s activity.
