5 Commercial Security Must-Haves for 2025
With Christmas over and the New Year underway, it’s time to think about whether you have the right security solutions in place for your commercial premises.
If you’re looking to update your existing tech or introduce a more comprehensive security suite, this post highlights 5 must-haves for 2025.
Stay on top of your security in 2025
Security is an ever-evolving field and it’s easy to fall behind or even become complacent. However, it is such an important element of running a business – which is why staying on top of the latest solutions is crucial. We’ve picked out five security essentials you should consider adding or updating.
1. CCTV
Video surveillance is a core component of a commercial security suite. CCTV cameras provide an important deterrent to would-be intruders and the footage captured can be vital to helping law enforcement catch and prosecute criminals.
If you’re installing your first surveillance system or looking to upgrade, look for wireless technology which offers remote control and cameras that feature night-vision and high-resolution images.
2. Intruder alarms
Detecting intruders on CCTV is one thing but an up-to-date alarm can help to ensure they aren’t able to cause any damage or disruption. Again, intruder alarms offer an effective deterrent – setting off a loud, audible alert when triggered.
Modern wireless intruder alarm systems work through a network of sensors and can be controlled remotely, allowing for activation, de-activation, and monitoring 24/7 on or off-premises.
3. Access control
Another commercial security must-have is an access control system that restricts who can enter your premises. Systems can be installed both at the main entrance and at points within the premises to control access to parts of the building or the entire site.
There is a wide variety of access control systems available, from simple swipe cards to more advanced biometrics. As well as securing the building, the systems provide important data about employee movements.
4. Fire or smoke alarms
If there’s one security risk you cannot afford to ignore, it’s fire. As well as the threat posed to life, goods and equipment, the disruption caused by fire or smoke damage can be extremely costly.
An up-to-date fire alarm system offers round-the-clock monitoring, providing a crucial early warning that allows for the appropriate action to be taken before the threat escalates.
5. Lighting automation
Businesses are increasingly moving towards automation, which has several advantages that can far outweigh the initial investment.
Automated lighting offers centralised control and enhanced security, with motion sensors and real-time monitoring. As well as being convenient, automation can save money by improving energy efficiency.
