The psychology behind successful commercial security systems

When considering the security measures to install on your business premises it’s always worth trying to get into the mindset of a would-be burglar. Consider the things that might stop you from burgling one particular property when there are others around that might constitute less of a risk./p>

You wouldn’t want to be caught in the act so intruder alarm systems would represent a real issue for you as a perpetrator. Alarms are very often followed up by the authorities and it’s difficult to explain your presence when you are caught in the act and you have no authorisation to be on site.

However, you wouldn’t want to be caught after the event either. That’s why CCTV security systems are such a turn-off for burglars. Even if you believe you could get away with stealing items from a given business, the risk of being caught because of CCTV footage is often too big a gamble to make and it makes for a very unsettling period after the event.

The psychology behind successful commercial security systems is about causing enough doubt to keep burglars away. However, CCTV systems and lighting systems are sophisticated enough to provide the basis for convictions should burglars press ahead with their schemes.
