How Commercial Security Can Improve Productivity

June 30th, 2023



If you own a commercial business and property in CA, then security is going to be just one of your top priorities alongside productivity. 

In order for a business to be successful, the owner needs to find better ways to increase employee engagement, decrease certain stressors, and minimize distractions that can lead to a significant drop in productivity.

Today, we will talk about how commercial security can improve productivity for your business.

Monitoring The Employees

Being able to keep a watchful and tentative eye on your employees is critical to success. It ensures that they work efficiently and spend their time wisely. Employees tend to behave differently when they know that their actions are being watched and monitored.

However, to ensure a less invasive monitoring system, you can choose to install surveillance cameras throughout the property along with productivity monitoring software. Even just a few strategically placed cameras can make a big difference in productivity levels and can also help decrease instances of theft within your company.

Keep Your Employees Updated

When your employees are aware of what is going on, satisfaction levels tend to be higher. So when you decide to make any changes to your commercial security system, let them know what you are doing or plan to do and how they can benefit from the changes you are making. This shows that you respect them and are actively looking for ways to reduce stress levels at work.

Monitor Your Business

Productivity doesn't end with the employees on staff. It would be best if you also made sure that other aspects of the business are being monitored so there are no hiccups to contend with that can ultimately cause a delay in productivity. 

For example, monitor the air quality, any temperature-controlled products you have, and other major systems such as the plumbing to ensure everything is working properly. Environmental security measures can be put into place to keep all of your assets and employees safe. 

Find Vulnerabilities

You also need to determine where your vulnerabilities lie and then address them accordingly to ensure continued productivity. Your alarm system, for example, should be backed up in case of a power outage so you aren't left vulnerable to intruders. 

You need to ensure that backup communication is in place so you can contact the authorities in Chico when necessary and without delay. Not having these safeguards in place can ultimately lead to a significant loss of productivity and can put your business severely behind.

Your Next Steps

To ensure productivity, it is time to evaluate your current safety and security measures and determine where improvement is needed. To do this, contact your local security experts today. They can fill you in on the many security options available to you and can help make sure that you have all the measures you need in place for your business. Don't wait for something to happen before taking the right steps to secure your commercial business in Chico, CA.

What Our Customers Say

"I had the Alibi system installed several years ago. It has functioned flawlessly. The image quality is exellent both night and day and in all weather conditions. I particularly like the replay (which can be set at various speeds) and zoom functions of the system. Tech support from Crimefreeliving has been excellent. I have received quick responses to questions, and timely home visits — as when I changed IP carriers and my Alibi system needed to be reset. I have recommended Crimefreeliving to several friends."

Rich

"As a small business owner here in Chico we definitely saw the need for video surveillance. After expressing our needs and concerns Tim did an excellent job getting us set up with the set up with the appropriate equipment. He really took the time to address our concerns in a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend Tim for all of your business and residential video surveillance needs."

Ron H., Owner/Auto Doctor

"I have to say I love having my security cameras at my home. Tim Truby did a wonderful job of installing the five cameras. He is very neat and cleaned everything up after the installation. He explained to me how to operate the monitor, my phone and IPad. However, I have had to call Tim because I'm not tech savvy and forget what he has told me. He usually just helps me over the phone and then all is well. I'm 80 years old and enjoy the comfort of knowing I have these security cameras."

Gloria

"Tim Truby designed and installed a 32 camera system for us here at the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. We had received several other quotes from security system vendors, but Tim’s quote was the least expensive. Tim also installed the system quickly and has always been available when we needed him. We are very happy with our security camera system and we can highly recommend Tim Truby for all of your surveillance system needs."

D. Weseman, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District

Crime Free Living updated our old video system with a new 16 Channel HD Alibi Video Security System. The old system had been added onto by different installers which resulted in a cabling mess. There were cables that worked and cables that went nowhere. It was a mess. Tim sorted it all out and installed cameras that are very clear. He also installed a monitor for our cashiers to watch hidden areas, a monitor to watch the entry door, and a monitor that allows employees to watch the outside parking and gas pump area. All work was done on time and very professional! Will always recommend Tim and Crime Free Living.

S. AM PM Chico Arco Station

"I had Tim install an Alibi Video Security System at my residence and a couple business locations. The remote view option is invaluable to absentee owners or anyone who travels a lot. The clarity and quality of the cameras have allowed for viewing employee theft. The evidence provided from the HD video cameras was fantastic! Tim was professional and provided extra value from his law enforcement background."

J. Folsom Arco Station

"Tim, I want to thank you again for doing such a fantastic job on installing a wireless IP security camera system at our dream home. The extra time that you took to hide wires, and install a clean, professional system is much appreciated. I still can’t believe the clarity, quality, and ease of use of this new system. I wished that I would have met you before our original inferior system was installed by another company. Now, whether I am at home, or monitoring the system from around the world, I know that my home and family are safe and sound."

John M.

"In April of 2017, my husband and I made a phone call to Crime Free Living that turned out to be a smart and wise decision. Amazingly, in just a few hours, Tim installed four Dome Security Cameras, weatherproof enclosures, and hooked up into our home a 23" Full HD Widescreen Security Monitor. Even more than his professional expertise was the time spent with us in making sure that this system was working correctly and properly installed on our phones so that anywhere in our travels we can monitor our new home in Magalia."

Tieka and Don S.

"I have been using Crime Free Living for the last couple years ar work and at home and I really recommend this product. Tim is a very good service provider. If he can't figure it out, he's got good tech support with the system that he offers."

Gary D.

"I have known Tim for over 10 years. To date, Time with Crime Free Living has installed two separate surveillance systems for my company. With each system, Tim has listened to my needs and custom dsigned surveillance systems for my specific needs and within my budget. The equipment used is always state of the art, the workmanship is top notch, and Tim is the example of trustworthy. I would recommend him for any job."
