7 Things to consider when planning your Home Security.
Where are the threats coming from?
1. First things first. Know the risks you are facing. Logically, this should be your first step. How can you know how to protect yourself if you do not even know where the threats are coming from?
Risk Analysis.
2. Secure Dimensions. This is your first line of defence. With risk analysis, you need to identify the blind and dark spots in and around your building.
Safety and security are greatly enhanced by installing adequate lighting in areas such as parking lots, break areas, stairwells and dark hallways. If there are trees and shrubbery around the building, keep them well-trimmed and maintained to eliminate areas where someone can hide and prevent window or roof access.
Access Control.
3. Access Control and Regulation. This can be done combining 2 techniques – through natural access control and through technology using an electronic access control system. Natural access control uses the building and landscaping features to guide people as they enter and exit space.
Security Cameras.
4. Security Cameras. For buildings requiring enhanced security, a closed-circuit TV system is an effective tool for monitoring your building. It’s important to strategically locate cameras so maximum coverage is achieved for each unit installed.
Assign responsibility.
5. Key Control. If an electronic access control system is not applicable for your particular situation, having an established procedure for controlling and distributing keys is important. Assign key custodianship and the responsibility of locking and unlocking the office/building to a few select individuals.
Security guards.
6. A Security guard is a good idea. As an extra layer of defence against unauthorized access.
7. Anti Theft Devices, Secure Doors and Airlock Rooms. These are minor investments that greatly enhance security.
