Essential Strategies to Protect Your Investment

​​

  • The simplest measures can be surprisingly effective

  • Locks: Invest in high-quality locks for gates, doors, and equipment storage areas.

  • Sensor Lights: Well-placed lighting deters intruders. Lights with motion sensors around storage facilities and garages help increase visibility at night and scare off potential thieves.

Physical Security: Locks and Lighting

Surveillance: CCTV and Tracking Systems

​​

  • CCTV Cameras: Installing CCTV systems allows for 24/7 monitoring of your property. Surveillance footage can be invaluable in identifying culprits if a theft does occur.

  • GPS Tracking Devices: Consider installing GPS trackers on valuable equipment, so it’s easier to locate and recover if stolen.

Inventory and Identification

​​Equipment Marking and Records: Maintain records of all machinery, including model numbers, serial numbers, and distinctive marks or modifications. Engraving or marking equipment with unique identifiers makes it harder to resell and easier for law enforcement to recover.

Be vigilant about unusual activity on and around your property. Report any suspicious behavior or vehicles immediately to local authorities.
