    Commercial Access Control

    Posted on by Mike Proudfit

    Now a days, businesses of all sizes are starting to get more and more serious about their security. So many don’t fully know what they are getting into and call the first one they can find and “hope for the best”, instead of taking the right amount of time to really research and find the best company for their needs.

    What Business Security Solutions Does Titan Alarm Offer?

    At Titan Alarm we offer a wide range of solutions for your business, and not just security! We have video surveillance systems, alarm systems, access control and even fire systems!

    What is an Access Control System?

    Access Control systems do what their name sounds like, they control the access to buildings, rooms or resources. When you install an Access Control System you then have access to be able to restrict and monitor who has access to any building, room or facility.

    Does my business need an Access Control System?

    It’s important for any sized business to keep all data safe, so to do that, we have to keep threats away. Every business does the basic version of that by putting locks on doors and giving keys to employees. You can benefit from an Access Control System if you can answer yes to any of the following questions!

    Is a lost/stolen key an immediate security threat to your business?
    Do different employees need different access privileges?
    Would it be beneficial to restrict or allow access based on time or day?
    Do I need a record of when someone enters or leaves a door?
    Could my employees and clients be more secure?

    Access control systems come in a variety of types and sizes with custom solutions for every company. Titan Alarm is ready to help meet your business’ needs! We have solutions for small businesses to large enterprises. Contact us today to find out how we can help you secure your business with an Access Control System!

    5 Reasons To Have Your Fire System Inspected

    Posted on by Mike Proudfit

    5 Reasons that Having Your Fire Alarm System Inspected is Important

    If you have a fire alarm or fire sprinkler system in your building, it is important to have it tested and inspected frequently. Here are five of the most important reasons why this test/inspection service is critical to the livelihood of your business:

    1. To meet local building code and fire inspector requirements
    Your system is required to be tested on a regular, ongoing basis in order to satisfy national fire code (NFPA 72) and the requirements of your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). These tests should be administered by a licensed, certified technician.

    2. To satisfy insurance carrier requirements
    Did you know that your insurance company may not cover damages that are caused by a system that has not been tested/inspected according to NFPA 72 requirements? The only thing worse than having a fire in your building would be having the insurance deny your claim due to a lack of code compliance!

    3. To assure that system is functioning properly
    Most alarm panels require regular testing and inspections to ensure that they are working properly. This involves both a visual inspections of all of the system components, as well as a functional test of the system to ensure that each element works properly

    4. To assure that the system does not create false alarms that waste time/resources of your local fire department.
    The firefighting heroes that work in your city have a big job, ensuring that both fire and medical emergencies are responding to quickly, effectively, and efficiently. When a fire truck rolls to your facility for a false alarm due to a poorly functioning system, the valuable resources of your fire department are being wasted and the focus of those firefighters is diverted from people and property that truly need assistance.

    5. To limit liability for potential injuries of tenants, employees, of visitors of your business
    A fire alarm and fire sprinkler system is designed with strict codes in order to provide enhanced safety and protection over your property and the personnel inside. A regular inspection and test of the system ensures that the system still operates according to those code standards, providing peace of mind that the system will work as designed in the event of a fire.

    Wireless Security Cameras and Video Surveillance Systems.

    Posted on by Mike Proudfit

    A wireless camera includes a built-in transmitter to send video over the air to a receiver instead of through a wire. Many people aren’t aware that there are multiple types of wireless technology in use, each with unique advantages and disadvantages.

     

    What is a Wireless Security Camera?

    With technology constantly improving, wireless technology is now being applied to almost everything now a days, and the best thing is, security cameras and video surveillance systems are taking full advantage of it.

     

    How does a Wireless Security Camera or Video Surveillance System work?

    A wireless security camera has a wireless transmitter built into it, to allow video to be sent through the air to a home base (receiver) for viewing, rather than being hardwired into a home base.

     

    Is a Wireless Security Camera truly wireless?

    Although most wireless security cameras are technically cordless, meaning they don’t need to be hardwired in and that they transmit through a wireless signal source, they still need to be plugged in a power source. With that in mind, there are some security cameras that have batteries, that makes them truly wireless, but keep in mind, batteries can die at the most inconvenient times, and are not the best source of power to rely on.

     

    Can I make a Wired Security Camera into a Wireless Security Camera?

    You most definitely can, although at Titan Alarm we don’t recommend it. With security cameras and video surveillance you really get what you pay for, so if you’re looking for the cheap way around getting wireless security cameras, the quality you receive won’t be nearly as good as if you contacted Titan Alarm for us to set up a Video Surveillance System for you with cameras that were made to be wireless.

    Home Automation Geo Location Services

    Posted on by Mike Proudfit

    Geo tracking allows residential and commercial customers new possibilities that goes above and beyond security and emergency services. The way that Geo Tracking works is that most smart phones have a GPS locator built into it, (such as your maps app. etc.), as long as you have your location services enabled, Alarm.com can tell where you are located. The nice thing about this is that you can set rules of what you would like to happen all based off of where you are located. For example, if you are at home, your thermostat can be set to the temperature that you prefer, and if you leave more than a half mile away from home, you can have the temperature start rising, saving you money on your electric bill, and as you approach home again the temperature will start dropping so it can be the perfect temperature for you to walk in to.

    You can also set up rules to close down your house when you get to far away, if you get a mile away Alarm.com can do the following, close your garage door, make sure the doors are locked, turn off lights or turn them on, arm your system, change thermostat and so much more.

    All of these possibilities are included with Titan Alarm services.
