Protect your business in 2024 with steps to upgrade your business security systems. Learn about video monitoring, access control, and alarm systems.
Introduction
The new year is the perfect time to evaluate and upgrade business security and implement systems that protect your assets and people. With technological advancements and evolving threats, enhancing your security system has never been more essential. By taking proactive measures, you can reduce risks, increase efficiency, and more effectively safeguard your operations.
At ESI Fire & Security, we have over two decades of experience helping businesses in Houston protect their premises with innovative solutions like proactive video monitoring, access control systems, mobile security trailers, and intrusion alarms. Here’s how you can upgrade your business security this year.
Steps to Upgrade Your Business Security
1. Conduct a Comprehensive Security Risk Assessment
Before you make improvements, you need to understand your vulnerabilities. A professional security assessment evaluates your current systems, identifies weaknesses, and delivers actionable solutions.
The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recommends regular assessments to stay ahead of evolving threats. With ESI’s experienced team, we can help you pinpoint risks and create a security plan uniquely tailored to your business.
2. Invest in Proactive Video Monitoring
Traditional surveillance captures incidents retrospectively, leaving your business vulnerable until damages occur. On the other hand, proactive video monitoring uses artificial intelligence and real-time intervention to stop issues as they happen.
An AI-driven monitoring system can help businesses reduce criminal activity by 40-50%. ESI’s approach combines live monitoring with smart detection, creating a safer environment for your employees and customers.
3. Upgrade Access Control Systems for Smarter Management
Today’s access control systems offer far more than just keycards. Biometric scanners, mobile authentication, and cloud-based dashboards allow for scalable, efficient, and secure management of your premises.
ESI offers advanced access control options that can be customized, ensuring the right people access the right places at the right times. A report by Markets and Markets predicts the access control market will grow to $12.8 billion by 2024, highlighting its importance in modern security.

4. Adopt Mobile Security Trailers for On-the-Go Applications
Whether you’re managing a construction site or hosting an outdoor event, mobile security trailers provide the flexibility and coverage you need. These trailers are equipped with high-resolution cameras, motion detection, and remote monitoring, giving you comprehensive visibility wherever you need it.
ESI’s mobile security trailers are a cost-effective solution for businesses with temporary or unpredictable security requirements.
5. Enhance Your Intrusion Alarm System
Break-ins can lead to devastating losses for businesses. A modern intrusion alarm system features smart sensors, automated alerts, and seamless integration with other security measures to stop incidents before they escalate.
Statistics show that buildings with professional-grade alarm systems are 60% less likely to be burglarized. With ESI’s customizable alarm solutions, you can fortify every corner of your business.
Conclusion
Upgrading your business security doesn’t just protect your assets—it protects your peace of mind. From real-time surveillance to smarter access control, taking these steps can transform the safety and efficiency of your company.
