Security is a deciding factor for many people selecting which gym to join. With people coming and going all day, and well into the night for 24/7 gyms, patrons want to know they will be safe. Gyms are also full of expensive, removable equipment. From security alarm systems to CCTV, a comprehensive security system is a key feature of a well functioning gym, protecting property, equipment, and the people in it.
Access Control For Gyms
When it comes to gym security, the first thing that comes to mind is door access. Access control is the first thing that greets gym members at the door. Managing who is entering and leaving the gym guards against unauthorised entry, providing safety and peace of mind to gym members as well as an added level of security for expensive equipment and property. Knowing who has entered and when can also deter criminal activity, or offer critical information surrounding theft or damage. Access control can be utilised in a variety of ways, at the front door or around staff only or exclusive areas. Access control options include Smart Cards, facial recognition, and biometric fingerprint readers.
CCTV Security Camera Systems For Gyms
CCTV security camera systems are essential for a gym. From monitoring the gym for anti-social behaviours to producing visual 4K evidence of any criminal activity or liability claims, CCTV plays a vital role in gym security. Gym members can attend at all hours with peace of mind when assured that a quality security camera system is installed. Security camera placement, however is just as important as camera quality, if not more. Poorly planned security camera systems can easily leave blindspots throughout a building. An experienced team such as Brisbane’s Sec Tech Group is sure to take the time to coordinate CCTV positioning in a way that covers every area of the property necessary.
Alarm Systems For Gyms
The presence of an alarm system alone is often enough to deter illegal activity. Alarm systems in a gym protect the property from intruders, staff and storage rooms from break-ins and any important equipment that may be behind those doors. Modern alarm systems can now send notifications straight to designated mobiles whenever triggered. Even more safe and effective than mobile notification, though, is alarm monitoring. Back to base alarm monitoring is where your alarm systems are continuously monitored by a 24/7 alarm centre. Alarm monitoring allows for immediate response to alarm triggers, including fires, intruders and even alarm system issues such as low batteries. Constant monitoring is particularly important for a 24 hour gym. Even when alarm monitoring is in place, mobile notifications can still be received to keep the right people in the loop.
Whether starting from scratch or upgrading from an outdated system, Sec Tech Group has the technology and expertise to customise and professionally install security systems specific to the needs of gym facilities.
