According to the Unified Crime Report by the FBI, businesses that lack a comprehensive security system are 4.5x more likely to be targets of theft and burglary. In fact, the report found that if an alarm is present at the business, then about 60% of burglars sought out an alternative target. If you are a business owner in Tampa, Florida then you should take the appropriate business security measures to protect against property crimes. At Monarch, we’re here to help you build a business security Tampa system that works for you.

Keeping an Eye on Your Business: The Benefits of Business Security Tampa 

With the business security cameras offered by Verkada for Tampa companies, you can help protect your clientele, staff, and property. After all, security cameras help to reduce unauthorized access to your business and property. It is one of the most viable deterrents a business owner can use to help protect their company from prevalent crimes in Tampa such as theft and robbery. Consider the following advantages of business security Tampa.

Deter Theft and Robbery

Businesses like banks and grocery stores are often targeted by criminals. Cameras allow Tampa businesses to deter crimes such as theft, robberies, vandalism, assault, or other malicious behaviors. Additionally, security cameras help your business personnel identify suspicious activities both inside and outside the banks. Overall, surveillance cameras should be part of your business security Tampa system in order to ensure the safety of staff and clientele.

Reduce Emergency Response Time

In the case of an emergency like a burglary, you can dramatically reduce the Tampa authorities’ response time by sharing your live feed of your surveillance cameras via SMS. You can rest assured that staff, clients, and your assets are safe and secure with this feature included in Verkada business security Tampa systems.  

Evidence in Case of Crimes

Tampa businesses often find it challenging to provide substantial evidence in a case that can be considered indisputable. Any court case can be complicated by the constant back-and-forth between witnesses and persuasion techniques of a lawyer. What cannot be contested, though, is a clear and concise video depicting an action – criminal or not. For this reason, many business owners depend on Verkada surveillance cameras for their business security Tampa system. Rest assured that our business cameras securely capture 24/7 footage that is accessible on the cloud anywhere, anytime.

Evidence to Quickly Resolve In-House Conflicts

Although it is less than ideal to have in-house conflicts, it is a reality that many business owners in Tampa face. These conflicts can range from simple spats and arguments to full blown violence. Such conflicts, particularly those involving harassment, can be very difficult to resolve. So, even though one hopes that using footage from security cameras to resolve a conflict won’t be necessary, it is comforting to know that one has a conclusive record of employee interaction in case a “difference of opinion” arises. 

Moreover, Verkada security cameras and environmental sensors that detect noise levels can even help Tampa business owners identify a potential issue before it even arises. With Verkada business cameras, you can keep a watchful eye on your employees – even when you’re not at your company.

Improve Employee Productivity

Payroll costs are among a business’ largests expenses – especially in a city as expensive like Tampa. It is important, then, to know that your payroll dollars are well spent. Of course, you don’t want your employees slacking off by just surfing the internet all day or arriving late and leaving early. Monarch can help you keep your employees on track with a professionally designed network of in-house video surveillance cameras and sensors that are strategically placed. 

For example, Verkada environmental sensors can let you know when there is crowding going on. You can then look to your surveillance cameras – on the very same platform – to assess the situation. Overall, Verkada’s cameras and devices can help you ensure your maximizing profit.

Provide a Sense of Safety

Nowadays, businesses in Tampa are looking for ways to provide a sense of safety for their employees and customers.
