I used to use a basic key to get into my bakery.
I then had someone break into my business and rob me.
There wasn’t much to take thankfully. But the pain and trauma is still there. They also broke my door, busted windows, took some cooking equipment, and weirdly a few chairs. So now I have seriously upgraded security purposes. The first thing I did was get a keyless entry put in. I now have a personalized code that opens the door. I then have to type in a second, different code in my building automation system. If I don’t or guess wrong, the police are informed. I also invested in motion activated lights when you approach at night. The lights brighten and my security cameras begin rolling. Having an integrated security system solution is so much better. There Are door and window locks that when broken alert the police and sound an alarm. There are cameras inside and out that begin filing when there is movement. What is nice is that the film is directly linked to my iphone. I can pull up my film feed and check on the business from home if I want. Since I have a commercial building automation system I can even control the interior lights and HVAC if I feel the need to. Since the upgrade to my security system and door locks, nobody has since bothered my little bakery. I like it so much better. I feel much safer when I go to work now.
