From CCTV to Parking Barriers: Improving Your Hotel Security in the New Year

The New Year is a great opportunity for you to improve the security of your hotel. These establishments see a lot of customers come and go so it’s crucial to stay on top of security measures. Not only will this cover your back in a lot of situations but it’ll also improve your customer satisfaction ratings.

From installing CCTV and access control panel systems to adding parking barriers and security shutters, here’s some ways you can improve the security of your hotel in the new year!

1. The Power of CCTV

The first thing you’ll want to think about if you’re looking to improve the security of your hotel in the new year is to install CCTV cameras. You’ll be shocked how often they’ll come in handy when dealing with tricky customers or with the police regarding any incidents. Not only do they allow you to identify trespassers and anybody breaking the rules or the law, but they also protect you from any false accusations or mistruths.

2. Access Control Panels

Especially for hotels with a large and lively bar, you’ll want to think about installing security access control pads. This will ensure that only staff can access certain areas like the kitchen, storage rooms, and cleaning cupboards. Otherwise, you could find customers tampering in areas they shouldn’t be, which is as much a security risk as it is a convenience.

3. Security Grills and Shutters

A great way to avoid glass getting shattered and entrances being broken into is to have security grilles and shutters installed. They provide an extra layer of external security to breach if a burglar or trespasser wanted to break in. Plus, they’ll provide some safety against vehicles that may try to ram glass fronts.

4. Automatic Doors

Automatic doors are particularly useful as they allow you to completely restrict access to particular entrances. If there was a disturbance outside, for example, then you could shut off that entrance so the problem doesn’t spill to the interior. Another key benefit of automatic doors is that they’re more energy efficient as they allow you to regulate your building’s air conditioning at all times.



5. Barriers for Parking

If your hotel has its own car park then a good way to make sure people don’t use it without being customers is to install parking barriers. These will allow access to those with a ticket or who know a certain pin or have the right card, but not to other drivers. This keeps your car parking spaces open for your customers, improving the quality of their stay.
