Customized Solutions for Small and Home Based Business

Working from home offers unique opportunities. Taking client calls in your pajamas, emailing and faxing all hours of the day. The ability to leave the office at odd times to run errands without answering the "where have you been?" question from the boss. All scenarios that define the home based entrepreneur.

On the other hand, having a home office/home based business means products kept at home or sensitive client and/or corporate files becomes your top priority in it's safety and security. Likewise, small business owners need to be armed with the best options for securing their property and the contents inside.

If this sounds like your situation, maybe it's time to explore ways to customize solutions in system integration. Not familiar with system integration? Basically system integration/integrators bring together the multiple components (subsystems) into one system and ensures that the subsystems function together as one. For instance, designing all your components of security alarms, perimeter security, video surveillance (inside and out), access control, fire protection, even intercom/communications and computer networks can all be integrated together.

Have employees assisting in your business? A separate alarm code (access control) for your home or small business can be issued along with opening/closing reporting will keep you abreast when your system has been armed and disarmed. Is the current fire and smoke alarm in your home or business integrated with your security system? If the answer is no, you would never know if there is a fire.

All these system features can be integrated and networked through your computer giving small and home based businesses more options than ever.

My Alarm Can Do What?

Cool features of your security alarm system that you may not know about..... Most people know that an alarm can monitor for fire, floods, and carbon monoxide as well as security. But many people don't know about, or don't take advantage of all the nifty things their alarm can probably do, depending on the make and model, of course. Call and talk to an L&B technician today to see if your alarm is capable of doing the following:

Customize Your "Chime" Feature:
Your system is usually programmed to beep if the front door is opened. But you can also have your installer program any of your windows to do likewise. This is handy if you have small children with bedrooms on the second floor. The keypad will beep if any of the kid's bedroom windows are opened, hopefully preventing an accidental fall.

Automatic Paging:
Your system can page you when the alarm is tripped, or when a special "event" happens, such as notifying you when the kids arrive home from school.
