Make Sure Your Business Security Company Offers Elevator Monitoring

• February 6, 2015

Anything can happen when several strangers ride together in the small space of an elevator. If someone is having a bad day and the elevator doesn’t move fast enough, he or she may decide to take it out on the other passengers by becoming verbally or physically abusive. These passengers may in turn sue your company for inadequate security. As more people hear about the assault, it may cause them to avoid your business altogether.

One way to avoid the above scenario is to work with a business security company to install security cameras in your elevator. This allows your security staff to see exactly what is happening and to respond immediately.

Keep an Eye on Pranks and Malfunctions

Some people think it is funny to push the button for every floor in your building while riding the elevator. The prankster then leaves and inconveniences everyone who has to ride the elevator after him or her. By having a security camera in your elevator, you can catch the prankster in the act and disable his or her commands. This prevents your legitimate clients or customers from getting annoyed enough to take the stairs and never return to your company.

Because you are responsible for the safety of people riding in your elevator, it is crucial to monitor it closely for malfunctions. You can do this with the help of an elevator sensor, which is sensitive to even the slightest changes in how the elevator operates. This notifies you to fix the maintenance problem and prevent possible injuries.
