How to implement an effective car park security scheme

At Bollard Security, we know that an effective car park security scheme can drastically reduce the likelihood of vehicle theft on your premises. So, we’ve put together a quick guide to setting up the ideal car park security scheme that you can refer back to whenever you need! We’ll be covering everything from CCTV, access restriction, concrete barriers, and of course, telescopic security bollards. So, let’s get into the best ways you can implement a car park security scheme on your premises.

CCTV

This is perhaps one of the most obvious measures we could suggest, but hear us out! You’d be amazed how many businesses take this addition for granted. For starters, it’s a fantastic visual deterrent, as any potential thieves thinking of stealing a vehicle from your car park will immediately be put off by the sight of a camera. What’s more, any captured footage can be used as evidence to give to the police should the worst happen. There are plenty of CCTV systems out there for you to consider, from wall-mounted systems to temporary CCTV towers that can be placed directly in your car park.

Restrictive access fobs

Restricting the access to your car park is also a great way of reducing the risk of vehicle theft on your premises. You could consider issuing key fobs to each of your staff members, so that they alone can gain access to the car park. Typically, this kind of security measure is used in conjunction with other methods like CCTV and physical barriers for maximum security. Plus, restrictive access is a security technique that can be implemented in a variety of ways, including the aforementioned key fobs, bio-scanners, and security checkpoints.

Security bollards

If you want to protect your car park from thieves and vandals, there aren’t many better options than a solid security bollard. They’re great visual deterrents and nigh-on impassable obstacles. Even in the event that a thief manages to break into your carpark and steal a car, there’s no chance they’re getting through our steel bollards without the assistance of some serious hardware.

We’ve got a range of bollards to choose from here at Bollard Security, whether you had commercial or residential aims for them in mind. Our telescopic bollards are a favourite of homeowners, since they provide a fantastic blend of security and convenience by incorporating a 10 pin anti-drill and tamper-proof lock, which makes it easy for you to install and remove when you like – provided you’ve got the key, of course. We also provide a range of more heavy duty options, including lift-out bollards, parking posts and automatic bollards which are used in a similar capacity.

These are just a few top picks that will greatly help you in deterring burglars and thieves from attempting entry into your home/vehicle. We can’t stress the importance of driveway security enough here at Bollard Security, so if you’re interested and need any help in deciding which bollards are best for your property, then we’re only too happy to help. We have a huge variety of bollards to choose from, and our in-house experts are on hand to help you work out which ones are best for you. Give us a call on 01756 636 196 to see what we can do for you!
