Starting a Business…

Starting a business these days is tough enough, but starting one that has special security requirements is even tougher. That’s what friends and business partners found out when they decided to open a distillery and bar. One of the requirements to obtaining a distilled spirit plant permit in their location was providing proof of high security ensuring no endangering theft of product.

Unique Requirements:

Storing spirits on site prior to sale required a federally bonded warehouse and coupled with the high value of the equipment and security requirement of running a bar meant they needed a customized and diverse solution.

A Simple Solution:

They were looking for a system that would also simplify their lives being stressed enough starting a brand-new business. Their new security system would be a blend of intrusion detection, access control, and video surveillance.

System Integration:

Having all the systems integrated together resulted in a security system that’s more than the sum of its parts. Adding a new employee to the system only takes a moment, and the partners can easily check in on their business remotely.  Keypad locks allow employees and owners to come and go without worrying about keys and the partners know who access which lock and when it was accessed.

One App:

Having everything together in one single app has helped them run their business more efficiently. Their security system has helped them avoid some of the headaches associated with starting a business.

A World Off Your Shoulders…

Making an investment with a specialized security company, like Forest Security, that provides the knowledge and technology, definitely takes a load off. It’s a world off your shoulders to be able to be distant from your business…and still be there, without actually being there.”

Video Doorbells all start out the same…

They allow you to see who’s at the door and have a two-way voice conversation with them from your mobile app. They all allow you to answer your door whether you are at home or away.

This is where the similarities end. A video doorbell from Forest, works with your security system. Why is this so important? Let’s say it’s dark out and your doorbell rings.  You can’t see who is there, but you can turn on your porch lights right from within the same call screen app since they are all connected together. You can even set up Video Analytic Rules  to turn them on automatically!

What else can video analytics do?

The average doorbell camera records motion-triggered video clips, but do you really need to see everything that moves? A doorbell with Forest’s video analytics filters video alerts in advance. It can tell the difference between people, animals and vehicles, and pinpoint activity in different areas of your front yard.

You can set it to ignore vehicles that pass by, but alert you if a car pulls into your driveway. You can have it ignore someone that walks by but notify you if a delivery person drops off a package. Just specify what you want to see, and let your security system filter out everything else.

Manage your home for visitors and guests

At work when a guest or your dog walker arrives? Just unlock the door from your doorbell call screen, Residential – Access Control | Forest Security  to allow them to go  inside. Renovating your home? Give contractors access to your house anytime from the app, plus you’ll be able to keep track of when they’re coming and going.

You can say hello to the kids as they arrive home after school, and set your system to turn on the lights as they arrive. The convenience of being able to see who’s at your door and allow them inside saves time and keeps your family safer.

Keep your deliveries safe

According to a survey of 2,000 Americans Americans add new safety precautions as home deliveries become more popular (yahoo.com), the average person now receives 10 home deliveries a month—a 60% increase from the pre-pandemic average. That’s a lot of packages to keep track of.

With our Touchless Video Doorbell, you’ll find out right away when a delivery arrives—even if the delivery driver doesn’t ring the bell. See our video below for more information:
