Partnering to Keep Your Business Safe in Bensalem
BEDC exists to foster economic development in the Bensalem area, which includes creating an environment where our businesses can thrive. One challenge to companies can be the need to combat crime in or around the workplace. With safety in mind, we encourage companies to connect with our Bensalem Police Department for enhanced security.
BEDC has researched what steps could be taken to ensure that you, our Bensalem businesses, have the resources and strong partnerships you need to combat theft. An important part of the support and partnership is camera integration with the police department. If you have security cameras in or around your premises, or if you intend to install them, you can work with the police department and integrate your camera system to take “community security” to a higher level.
How camera integration works
In order to integrate your camera system with the Bensalem Police Department, you simply install a small device, called fususCORE, which will allow you to choose which cameras you want to allow access to. You may wish to share only exterior cameras or interior cameras, only those pointing toward entrances, or all of your cameras, depending on your business location and your personal preferences.
Integration with the police maximizes your security investment because when there is suspicious activity in or around your facility, the police will have immediate eyes on the scene. This may mean the opportunity to identify perpetrators, get license plates, deter crime, or even stop would-be criminals in their tracks.
If there is an incident in your vicinity, the Bensalem Police can use the camera feeds you allow them to access without interrupting your network or your business. By participating, your location and neighbors will be that much safer and you will help the greater Bensalem region become a more secure area for living, working, and shopping.
Camera registration
Another option is camera registration, which takes only a minute on the Bensalem Police Department camera connection website. By registering your camera, you are letting the police know that a camera is in the vicinity, from which they may request video evidence should an incident occur in your area. While this option is not as powerful as integration and does not give the police the eyes on the scene that they sometimes need to stop a crime in its tracks, it can be very helpful in an investigation to help catch criminals after the fact.
We encourage all our Bensalem businesses to connect with our excellent Bensalem police in order to keep our community and your business safe! Visit their website for more details:
