Security systems can be beneficial for businesses and other commercial enterprises. But, it is tough to know if the extra security is worth the cost. Understanding what money goes into a security system is the first step to knowing if your business really needs one.
Most commercial alarm systems will require some money to install them, even when it is a DIY installation. For DIY installations, you can expect to spend about $500. For professionally installed systems, you can expect to pay between $100 and $2000, depending on the square footage of your business.
Installation fees are not the only cost associated with business alarm systems. There is also an annual equipment fee which can range from $300 to $500 and a monthly service fee. Monthly service fees vary depending on your level of protection, but they can range from $50 to $250.
If you want the added protection a commercial security system brings, the benefits of having a system will often outweigh the cost, as the security system can provide ways of identifying burglars after a break-in as well.
