Integrated, interactive services from ion247 can make your business safer, reduce costs, and reduce expenses due to loss.

Guard Enhancement

A custom security solution can actually save money for your company by cutting down on the amount you spend for security personnel, while making a smaller security force more effective.

Example: Most guards are on site during closed hours ( a minimum of 10 hours per day and 24 hours on weekends; thus 94 X $12.00 = $1,128.00 per week, which is $58,656.00 and a 24 hour guard is over 100K per year. A top-of-the-line 10-camera system with active monitoring from ion247 would cost you a fraction of that amount.

Also consider the following:

• Permanently-mounted cameras make an excellent visual crime deterrant
• Cameras never take vacations, get sick, show up late, or fall asleep
• Cameras can actually have "eyes in the backs of their heads" and they do indeed see everything.

Inventory Protection

The US Chamber of Commerce estimates that employee theft costs businesses $40 billion dollars annually, which is ten times the value of street crime losses annually in the USA.

A custom security camera system from ion247 will significantly reduce the amount of inventory shrinkage due to theft. In our experience, our customers have seen loss rates drop 7-10% and have found that dishonest employees soon seek employment elsewhere.

Theft Prevention

In addition to being a valuable tool in the identification and apprehension of shoplifters, the visible presence of a security camera system is an effective deterrant to shoplifting, preventing the crime before it ever happens.

POS (Point Of Sale) Supervision

Catching fraudulent transactions at the register is a real priority for business owners. Most cash shortages occur at this point, and cross-ringing and under-ringing are rampant. It's also the kind of crime you will never see unless you are looking specifically at the right information. ion247's systems and trained professionals have an eye for exceptions.

Our POS video systems not only record the transaction, but also imprint and index the specific information pertaining to the transaction. That way you know what products were purchased and how much the customer was charged, along with a time/date stamp and other information.

Door/Safe Protection

The weakest link in your physical security system is the back door. Usually hidden from view, it can be an entry point for criminals and an escape for stolen goods. Our systems can help you identify trusted personnel and deliveries before you open the door to a problem.

Openings and closings are vulnerable periods because the number of staff on hand is usually smaller, there is usually a large amount of cash on hand, and attention to security details is low. We can help you make sure that the area is clear before you unlock the door, and see you safely to and from your vehicle.

Another operation of concern is the opening of the on-site safe, where cash reserves make a tempting target for thieves. Our systems can monitor these actions and make the money-handling process more secure.

Video Alarm Verification

Over 97% of all alarms called in to police every night are false. For example, in Dallas, Texas, of the 62,000 alarm calls in 2004, only 2.8 percent were valid (Security Sales and Integration 2005).

Often, they are fraudulent or simply mistakes made by faulty alarm systems or confused people. Having a trained ion247 employee place an event verification call to the authorities helps differentiate between real and false alarms, lends gravity to the situation, and enables the authorities to respond with the appropriate speed.
