Rest-A-Sured Security installs commercial security for businesses across regional Western Australia, not just in Perth. We have worked on sites including Australia Post in Esperance, IGA in Kalgoorlie and Australia Post in Albany. The basics are the same as in the city, but a regional business needs to plan for distance: help is further away, so the system has to be reliable and you need to know straight away when something happens.
This guide covers what a regional business should think about when planning CCTV, alarms and access control.
What is different about security for a regional business?
- Distance. If an alarm goes off overnight, the owner or keyholder may be a long drive away, so monitoring and remote viewing matter more.
- Reliability. A fault that takes a quick visit to fix in Perth can take longer to reach in the regions, so the system needs to be planned and installed properly the first time.
- Connectivity. Internet and landline services can be less reliable outside the metro area, so it pays to plan how the alarm will report and how cameras will record if a connection drops.
Commercial CCTV for regional sites
Cameras help a regional business see what is happening on site without being there. When planning commercial CCTV, think about:
- Entry and exit points, the counter or cash area, stock rooms, loading areas and car parks.
- Viewing on your phone, so the owner or manager can check the site from anywhere.
- Local recording, so footage is kept on site if the internet drops out.
- Enough detail to identify people and vehicles, not just movement.
Monitored alarms
For a business a long way from the owner’s home, a monitored alarm is one of the most useful parts of the system. When it is triggered, a monitoring station is alerted and acts on it, so you are not relying on a neighbour to hear a siren. Rest-A-Sured installs commercial alarm systems with 24/7 alarm monitoring through one of the largest independently owned grade 1 monitoring stations in WA, and alarms can report over the mobile network where a landline or internet connection is not reliable.
Access control
Keys are hard to manage when staff change and the business is a long way from a locksmith. Access control with fobs, cards or PINs lets you add or remove a person without changing the locks, and keeps a record of who came in and when.
Planning a regional installation
A few things make a regional job run smoothly:
- A site assessment first, so the system is planned around the building and how the business runs.
- A clear, itemised quote before any work starts.
- Installation scheduled around trading hours.
- A handover that shows staff how to arm the alarm and view the cameras.
