Re: Security Suggestions for Jewelry Store

["Bill" <bill190nospam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Depends on the value of your inventory and your insurance company
requirements.

There is a lot of difference between a "Walmart type" jewelry store and a
"Beverly Hills type" jewelry store. The latter even being required to have a
"man trap" where they buzz you in the first door, then when that door is
shut and locked, they will buzz open the second door and allow you into the
store. (Hint: If you are wearing a ski mask, they will not open the door.)

So anything from a basic dial-up only level of security to full U.L., bars,
safes, man traps, cameras, hold-up, armed security guard, etc.

Also a safe or vault door can have all sorts of sensors. (Heat, rate of
rise, vibration, unlatched, door open, capacitance, etc.)  Then additional
detectors/sensors inside the safe/vault.

Ask your insurance company what is *required*. Also ask what additional
things you can install to get insurance discounts. Then determine if the
cost of installation (for non required stuff) is worth the reduced insurance
rates in the long run.
