Commercial burglar alarm systems may be boring but as everyone knows, they protect the inside of your business against someone breaking in to steal your valuables. It’s a simple concept that has been around for over 100 years. But what if there was something new, a new type of system that did more than protect just the inside?

Digital Provisions designs and installs burglar alarm systems that do more than keep your inside valuables safe, our systems can now keep everything safe on the outside of your commercial building too, out in the open, no fences required. Recently one of our clients had their system go into action and prevent the theft of some very expensive automotive parts.

Recently, on an early weekday morning, two perpetrators set out on a plan to steal rims and tires from a local Toyota dealership. The suspects parked in a nearby medical building parking lot and stealthily maneuvered all of their tools to the gas station adjacent to the dealership. From there, they moved with their tools over to a car on the front line of the dealership’s lot. Brazenly they began jacking up the vehicle, only pausing briefly when the occasional car drove by. What they didn’t know was that they had tripped a silent alarm the moment they stepped onto the lot. As they were busy undoing lug nuts, our central station operators were logging into the dealership’s security camera system to see what had tripped the alarm.

That alarm verification procedure is the key to any successful exterior protecting burglar alarm system. Without it there would be too many false alarms and the police would stop responding, not to mention fine you for all of the false. With a live operator looking at the cameras in real time, they can assess the entire property in minutes, something that an onsite guard would not be able to do for instance so easily. When the threat is verified, they can contact the police and tell them exactly where the incident is happening on the lot and what they should expect when the police arrive.

Back at the dealership, when the central station operator witnessed that a crime was taking place, he immediately challenged the suspects over the security system’s external loudspeakers. “Attention – you are not permitted to be on the lot at this time!” bellowed out of the system, stopping the intruders dead in their tracks. Startled and scared, they instantly fled the scene, leaving behind their tools and more importantly, the dealership’s very expensive rims and tires.

There is no guarantee they would have stopped there either. Very often thieves will target a particular location for more than just one item. This can leave business owners with multiple cars up on blocks or multiple trucks broken into. There is no limit once they know they can safely stay on your property without anyone knowing about it.

Police arrived on the scene, and the suspect’s tools were taken into evidence. The customer’s inventory remained protected, and the crime was prevented with no loss of property or damage to the vehicle.
