If you run your business out of your home office, then a home security system will be something you need. Not only should every home have an alarm system, but every office should as well; this means you will have two times the reasons for having one installed. When you are going to be having an alarm system installed to protect not only your home but also your home office, here are some of the things that you want to consider:
Consider having your office set up separate from your home – You can have the same alarm system monitor both the office and the home itself, but have it set up so one part of the system runs separately from the other. This way, you can enter and exit the home, as well as walk around without setting off the office system while it is still on and monitoring the office. This can simplify things a lot because you won't have to worry about leaving your office open and unprotected while you are in and out of the house.
Have a camera watching the inside of your office – When most homeowners have an alarm system installed for their home, they will have cameras monitoring areas like the front door, the back door, the weakest parts of their yard and possibly their living room. While you still want to protect those important areas for your home, you also want to add a camera to the system that has the sole purpose of recording what goes on inside of the home office. This is an added safety measure just in case someone gets past the others, plus it will record anything that goes on in case a client gets out of hand or something else along those lines happens in the office space.
Have an alarm system installed that offers you remote access capabilities – While it's always a good idea to go with an alarm system with remote access capabilities, it is especially important to do this when you have an office in your home. Especially if your office has expensive office equipment, merchandise, cash and other things that people may want to go out of their way to try to steal. You will be able to check in from your phone, tablet or laptop to view the camera footage while you are out. You will also be able to control different aspects of the system, including turning it on and off. This can be convenient if there are certain people, such as an employee, who may need to gain entry at some point while you aren't there to let them in.
