5 Security Trends Shaping Commercial Spaces in 2025
Every year, crime evolves and security adapts to prevent it. With the cost of living rising, protecting your assets is more important than ever. Understanding current trends can help give you peace of mind that your business is safe. Here are 5 security trends that you should keep up with in 2025.
1. AI smart CCTV
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly improving every day. One application of AI combines with CCTV cameras to quickly analyse footage. For example, facial recognition can be used to instantly identify known criminals as soon as they enter the premises. AI can also be used to quickly find a specific part of surveillance footage, helping you to find specific evidence if you ever need it.
2. Smart lighting
While you may not automatically connect lighting and security, strategic lighting can work wonders for increasing your safety. Setting up a smart system with a combination of timers, sensors and remote control can deter potential criminals while making your working life simpler. By using integrated systems, your lighting can work with alarms and CCTV to create a coordinated approach to security.
3. Alternative entry security
Keys are becoming a thing of the past. Access control can be tailored to your business, depending on your specific needs. There are a variety of methods to choose, from biometric readers that use fingerprints to keypads for codes. You can also give your employees tags or cards that grant them entry to your buildings, or install a telephone system for visitors to phone to be granted access. All of these methods allow you to be in control of who gets into your property or digital files.
4. Off-site monitoring
Constantly monitoring your CCTV on site can be costly. Recent technology allows you to watch over your premises without being there, set up alerts for suspicious activity and store all your footage online. This technology can be applied to existing CCTV systems without having to replace them, and you can monitor multiple sites from a single location. As your business grows, your CCTV network can grow with you, from anywhere in the world.
5. Environmental considerations
Slowing climate change and preserving the Earth’s resources are at the forefront of many modern businesses’ considerations. Technologies that adapt existing hardware can prevent wasted resources, reducing the environmental cost of security. Energy efficiency is also a significant factor when electricity prices are soaring, and many smart systems allow you to minimise the energy you use. Talk to your security provider about the best way to reduce the environmental impact of your security systems.
