How to choose the right security system for your business premises
Protect your staff and customers with the right security system for your business.
If someone slips and injures themselves on your premises, do you have footage to show what really happened? If stock goes missing, or a customer lodges a complaint, can you pull up a video to get to the truth of the matter?
Security systems in the past have existed for one main purpose: alerting break-ins after hours. But today, security is more than that. It’s all about reducing liability when something goes wrong.
If a claim takes place on your premise, having video and audio evidence could be what saves you in court. Whether you run a cafe, retail space, warehouse or office, every business has different needs when it comes to protection.
Similar to obtaining indemnity insurance, you wouldn’t just go with a vanilla product you found on the internet. It pays to get insurance tailored to your business needs. That same applies for choosing a security system that works for your business.
At Electrical Embassy, we provide the most advanced CCTV and smart security solutions for businesses.
We only use reputable brands, such as AJAX, with the highest degree of security and quality – all backed by our workmanship warranty. Our security systems are priced competitively with other Brisbane providers, so you don’t have to choose between quality and price. You can have both.

1. A mix of cameras with sensors
Cameras alone can’t always tell you what you need to know. They’re great for visibility, but they miss context, or worse – they get triggered by irrelevant movement like tree branches or animals.
Our system combines HD cameras with motion sensors that detect real activity. When something sets off a sensor, you’ll get a snapshot of exactly what caused it. That means fewer false alarms, and faster responses when it really matters.
2. Remote access with smart alerts
The tech behind a security system is only useful if it’s simple to use. Some systems have apps that are painfully slow or hard to use.
Our systems are controlled through a single secure app that lets you view all your cameras, manage sensors, get real-time alerts and download footage in seconds. Whether you're on site or off the grid, you stay connected and in control.
3. Auto updating systems
A security system that doesn’t update is a risk waiting to happen. Bugs, gaps in protection, or even privacy issues can all crop up with outdated software.
Our systems can be set to automatically update firmware and software. Both hardware and software complies with the strictest data and security standards (European Union standards), meaning you get top-tier privacy and stability.
4. Future proof platform
If you’re investing money in security, you want a system that you can scale up with and know it’s going to last. Off-the-shelf systems may be here today and gone tomorrow, especially with the rise of cheaper (and risky) overseas brands predominantly from Asia.
We only use trusted brands, such as AJAX, that have proven long-term reliability, security and quality. Our systems can scale and support large, complex setups, with up to 150 connected devices and 50 cameras. Less maintenance, less down-time, more reliability.
Benefits of having a security system in place
Deterrence of theft
Protection of assets and inventory (more security = fewer break ins)
Provision of evidence for legal and insurance purposes
Modern security systems can also offer insights into your business operations
A note on insurance: Some insurers may offer discounts on business insurance premiums for enhanced security measures. It's recommended to check directly with your insurance provider or insurance broker to determine if such discounts are available for your specific policy.
