You’ve poured your energy, time, and vision into your startup. Protecting that investment is non-negotiable, but as a new business, every dollar counts. Effective security isn’t about the most expensive system—it’s about the smartest layers of protection that deter criminals before they strike and detect them immediately if they try.

At Oshawa Security Systems, we’ve helped new businesses in Durham Region build cost-effective security foundations for over 40 years. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to protect your venture.

Deterrence: Making Your Business a Less Appealing Target

The goal here is to discourage a crime from ever happening. Intruders look for easy, low-risk targets.

• Visible Cameras & Alarm Signage: Prominently placed CCTV cameras and window decals from a known local security company act as a powerful psychological barrier.
• Controlled Access: A simple electronic door strike or keypad system for your main entrance prevents casual intruders and allows you to manage entry without the risk of copied keys.
• Strategic Lighting: Well-lit exteriors, especially around entrances, parking lots, and alleys, eliminate the shadows that criminals rely on.

Detection: Knowing the Moment a Threat Occurs

If someone breaches your deterrents, you need to know immediately to minimize damage and alert authorities.

• Monitored Alarm Systems: Door and window sensors that trigger a central alarm—and a professional monitoring service—ensure a response even when you’re not there.
• Verified Video Alarms: Modern CCTV systems can send instant alerts to your phone with video clips when motion is detected, allowing you to see if it’s a real threat or a false alarm.
• Internal Motion Sensors: For after-hours protection, these act as a critical second layer of defense once an intruder is already inside.
