Advantage #1 – Monitor Your Business From Anywhere

You have heard the old adage, “When the boss is away, the employees will play”. Our Flir Video software turns your laptop or smartphone into a digital surveillance system. Check in on your business at any time, from anywhere. It’s amazing what happens to productivity levels when it’s common knowledge that work areas can be viewed remotely. After installing a video surveillance system you can expect to decrease employee conflicts, vandalism, graffiti, and theft. TOPS gives you peace of mind, even when you are at home or on vacation!

Advantage #2 -Stay Connected to Your Business Internationally

Having a surveillance and security system that you can tap into remotely is great, but what happens if you are not paying attention? Our Flir video surveillance system provides owners and operators with alerts and updates any time an emergency takes place. Would you sleep better if you knew that you would instantly be alerted if a break-in or fire occurred at your office? Business surveillance systems can drastically decrease security threats but they also have the added benefit of decreasing stress levels. Stop worrying and start thinking security.

Advantage # 3- Decrease the Number of Physical Security Threats

Whether you are worried about employees stealing supplies, local criminals breaking in, or mischievous graffiti artists; a video surveillance system will thwart the threats you worry about the most. Even just the physical presence of cameras will go a long way in deterring criminal activity. The power of a surveillance and security system dramatically increases when individuals notice signage that indicates the area is being actively monitored and recorded. Physical criminal acts can be extremely costly for business owners but they also can put your customers and employees at risk. Protect your assets and protect your people with surveillance!

Advantage #4 – Thwart Cyber Attacks

Our Flir video surveillance systems come equipped with VMS software which helps defend against cyber attacks. Standard security systems are just like any other piece of technology in your business. Computers, smartphones, printers and cameras- they can all be hacked and used against you in a cyber attack. Would you want an outside criminal party or competitor getting unrestricted access to the footage being filmed on your security cameras? Ask your TOPS security expert about how VMS will keep your business safe from malicious hackers.

Advantage #5 -Expand Your Surveillance Area with Unlimited Cameras

If you were insuring your car, would you consider only insuring a portion of it? The front two doors but not the back two? If your organization is committed to increasing its overall security with video surveillance cameras, you should have units throughout the entire organization.

There are some systems out there that limit the number of cameras that can be connected to your security network but with Flir’s latitude system, you have access to an unlimited amount of cameras. That’s right, an unlimited amount. Starting with the main traffic areas is a great start but you should have the ability to monitor and protect every square foot of the business you have worked hard to create.
