Small shops are often inadequately secured
For many shopkeepers, vulnerable back doors and expansive windows poses significant security risks, particularly in opticians where valuable stocks are often inadequately secured. That’s why a proactive security measure, like a PROTECT Fog Cannon, can be helpful.
An Aesthetic Security Solution
A proactive measure
A lot of opticians experience that they are particularly exposed to theft and ram raids, as they often have vulnerable back doors and expansive windows, which criminals find easy to break down and gain access to the store. Moreover, the stock often consists of glasses ranging from inexpensive brands to valuable designer specs, which can often be easily resold.
A ram raid will not only mean a loss of stock but also damage to the store and its interior. This damage can often mean that the optician will have to close down while they restore the lost stock, as well as the store’s exterior and interior. This downtime can lead to a loss of important revenue, which is crucial to the business.
Often, traditional security measures like surveillance and roller shutters can make thieves second-guess their actions; however, sometimes these are not enough, and further action should be taken to secure the store properly.
Theft avoided by Danish optician
Recognizing these challenges, the optician chain Profil Optik took proactive measures by installing roller shutters and even deploying large bollards in front of certain stores to deter potential ram raids. However, these additions detracted from the overall aesthetic of the store’s tasteful design. Moreover, the size of the bollards seemed to make the size of the cars burglars used to forcibly enter the premises appear bigger.
To address these concerns, Profil Optik adopted a more discreet yet highly effective solution: PROTECT™ security fog. Following the installation of security fog systems, it became evident that not only did the fog prevent thefts once intruders gained access, but the presence of fog warning stickers also discouraged potential burglars from attempting to break in or vandalize the premises.
By having a PROTECT Fog Cannon installed, almost all theft and expensive downtime could be avoided for Profil Optik, and the same applies to other opticians. There is no need for downtime due to restocking the eyewear, allowing the optician to keep their business running smoothly following a break-in attempt.
Discreet yet highly effective
