A small business has recently had an unauthorized entry during the night hours. The company wants to improve its security to detect and alert them in case of such an event in the future. Which of the following options would be the most effective solution to immediately alert the authorities and company personnel when an intruder gains access to the facility?
Installing a monitored alarm system that sends an alert to an external monitoring service and company personnel when triggered
Setting up a silent alarm that subtly signals only the company personnel without informing the intruder
Using a standalone siren that activates upon sensing motion during non-operational hours
Placing multiple closed-circuit televisions (CCTVs) at all entrances
A monitored alarm system connects to an external security service that monitors alerts 24/7. Upon receiving an alarm signal, the security service can verify the cause of the alarm and, if necessary, contact the authorities, ensuring a quick response to potential intrusion. In contrast, silent alarms and standalone sirens, while potentially discouraging an intruder, do not themselves notify authorities or company personnel, and may not lead to a swift response. Multiple CCTVs would provide surveillance but would not provide immediate alerts in the event of an intrusion.
