Hooray! Christmas is nearly here and so this month SGS Systems Ltd are focusing on keeping family’s safe and secure by offering security measures in how to deter those unwanted intruders into your home over the season.
Sadly, during December theft in homes rise by 20% according to insurance company Sunlife. Christmas is a time when we often see the number of valuables stored in our homes increase, ready to distribute as gifts, from expensive jewellery and watches to new technology devices such as smartphones, tablets, games-consoles and new music / tv equipment. Whilst these are all lovely gifts, they are also easy targets for criminals, who in one single break into a house can thieve many items at once.

Is your commercial christmas security up to date?For retailers and warehouse companies across the UK, Christmas can be their busiest time of year in their commercial calendar. In warehouses, storing and protecting stock, packaging parcels and preparing for dispatch creates numerous challenges for privately owned companies who do exert themselves to ensure that they meet delivery deadlines.
For the high street retailers, this time of year also means opening their doors to increased customer footfall whilst managing a greater amount of stock on their premises. It can also mean hiring temporary staff and allowing unfamiliar faces into the ‘behind-the-scene’ operations of the company.
Keeping an eye on stock and ensuring that items are stored on the premises safely, often relies on extra surveillance. This type of back up offers Directors and Managers greater flexibility when they are either on and off the premises or when dealing with tasks and customers that take them away from their own personal supervision.
Here at SGS Systems Ltd we take some of the stress out of protecting goods throughout not only the Christmas season but all year by offering commercial Christmas security to businesses across the West Midlands and UK. Installing 24/7 CCTV in stock rooms and out on the shop floor is imperative for businesses to operate successfully. Not only do visible cameras act as a deterrent but can also capture valuable evidence which could be used as proof of a suspected an incident in later investigations, should the need arise.
Our commercial christmas security services include CCTV monitoring equipment, comprehensive commercial Wireless and Wired Alarm systems to protect properties and access control to zone off specific designated areas of a building or retail property. Finally, our smoke security offers the most substantial solution for areas where stock could be vulnerable to theft, especially in larger shop floor and warehouse areas. To find out more about how we could support your business please contact our team. We work with single business owners up to multiple retail chains to offer the best support in retail / warehouse security.
CCTV Security UK is essential in protecting our public spaces and transport services across Great Britiain.
Recently London Euston station in North London, came under attack on 29th August 2017 when an e-cigarette exploded in a bag, which was found in a bin at the station was thought to be a bomb.
Around 7.40pm Virgin trains blocked all lines due to a raised security alert. The public were evacuated from the station and trains were halted whilst the police and the bomb squad surrounded the scene.
The tube trains could not stop at the station and the whole area was closed for over one hour. The British Transport Police later confirmed that “no one was hurt” and that “the incident is ongoing investigation”.
Earlier that same day at around 5.55pm, John Lennon Airport in Liverpool also raised a security alert when a suspicious package was discovered and the army bomb disposal team were called to the scene. The public were evacuated from the airport and stationary planes we forced to hold passengers on board whilst the team made the area safe. Later a man was detained at the airport whilst experts investigated his equipment described as a “battery pack of unique appearance”.
CCTV security UK has never been so important to private companies and organisations who provide transport services and areas for public use. As the UK continues to be on high alert due to several militant attacks throughout 2017 it is important that businesses stay protected for those who use their premises.
If you are running a business that offers public services, then having continually monitored CCTV is essential to the welfare of staff and customers who use your premises. Whilst CCTV Security UK won’t prevent an attack, the information that it can record is crucial to capturing valuable evidence for police and security organisations as to how these attackers are operating and their location.
If you are looking for a CCTV Security UK company to provide these services, here at SGS Systems Ltd we can help. Operating CCTV Security UK across Great Britain, we support individual site owners up to national companies from retail and warehouse to public buildings and transport services. To find out how we can support your organisation with CCTV security UK, please contact our dedicated property security UK CCTV Security team today.
