Security System Features to Consider for Protecting Your Fleet

If you’re a business that requires a fleet of vehicles to service your customers, whether it be deliveries, service calls, or other logistics, it’s essential to protect your fleet from potential crimes. Trucks, cars, vans and more that are parked on-premises are increasingly becoming victims of criminal activity in the Greater Toronto Area. Often, criminals are looking to steal the vehicle, break into it, or take the catalytic converter. To protect your investment, your employees, and your business, it’s recommended that you take strategic security measures to prevent their business vehicles from being targeted. 

At Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc., we help businesses around the city create smart security systems in Toronto that protect not only their property but also their vehicles. With commercial alarm systems in Toronto, as well as advanced security cameras, you can minimize the threat to your fleet. 

Here are some security features you can consider to protect your business’s fleet. 

Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts

Historically, security cameras rely on humans, whether they are active security teams or a review of footage after an incident occurs. However, modern AI-enhanced security cameras in Toronto take this to the next level by continuously monitoring the feed and analyzing it in real time. AI can detect suspicious behaviours, such as someone loitering near vehicles, tampering with a car, or moving suspiciously around the parking lot, sending notifications directly to your smart device. Real-time alerts from alarm systems in Toronto will instantly alert you and your monitoring station to suspicious activity, inciting a response before damage or harm can happen. 

Night Vision Cameras

It’s more common for car theft or tampering with a business’s fleets to occur at night after business hours, when it’s dark out, the bulk of staff is gone, and the vehicles are parked. By installing security cameras in Toronto with low-light capabilities or night vision, you can better protect your fleets by maintaining visibility in conjunction with your alarm systems. With our advanced technology, night vision cameras have better footage clarity later in the day, improved identification of criminals or suspicious activities, and the ability to maintain continuous 24/7 monitoring without a loss of video quality.

Outdoor Curtains and Beams

Often used for parking lots and outdoor spaces where a physical fence is not possible or not effective enough, outdoor curtains and beams are an innovative technology that can be used to set up an invisible perimeter around your fleet. 

Outdoor curtains equipped with invisible security barriers take fleet protection to the next level by triggering an alarm whenever someone crosses the boundary. When the invisible barrier is breached, both you and your monitoring station are immediately notified, allowing for an instant response from security personnel or authorities. This real-time notification system reduces the time criminals have to carry out their activities, significantly increasing the chances of preventing theft or damage to your property. By integrating this technology, you ensure that any suspicious activity is dealt with promptly, giving intruders less time to escape.

Outdoor Sirens & Loudspeakers 

Loudspeakers integrated with your security system and installed around the outside of your property provide an immediate response to potential intruders. When the security system is triggered, or suspicious activity is detected by your outdoor beams, security personnel or automated systems, you or the team at your monitoring station can issue verbal warnings through the loudspeakers, directly addressing the intruders in real-time. You can speak directly to the suspicious person live through the speakers, describing the way they’re dressed and what they’re up to. This direct intervention not only catches criminals off guard but can also scare them away before they cause any harm. Loudspeakers and sirens enhance your property’s security by creating a highly visible—and audible—deterrent.
