Security shouldn't be a reactive safety net meant to reduce loss after something goes wrong. The hard part is that technology has evolved rapidly, leaving many facility managers and executives operating on outdated assumptions.

At ASI, we help local governments protect their parks with proactive, unified technology.

Upgrading your video surveillance and gate access control can change the way you manage your local parks.

As summer winds down, many businesses go through changes, but your security system with ASI will always be dependable.

This August, we’re highlighting the latest trends in commercial protection. Take a look at our feature on mobile access control, read our newest blog posts, and see recent tech updates from our installation sites. We’re also sharing new customer feedback, some of what our technicians have been up to, and a mini interview with another important member of the ASI team!

Many business leaders associate security with defensive measures such as locks, guards, or basic alarms. It is often seen as a necessary expense, implemented only to prevent negative incidents.

At ASI, we take a broader approach to commercial security.

A complete security system should also help you save money by reducing wasted resources. When you add Alarm.com Commercial Energy Management to your main security dashboard, ASI Security Solutions integrates physical security with smart climate control.

…Running a modern campus comes with real, daily challenges. These include someone slipping past the front desk during the busy morning drop-off, a custody dispute happening in the lobby, or former staff still having access to the building without supervision.

For many years, the usual way to handle these risks was with a basic lock-and-key system. Now, using old hardware puts your students’ safety and your community’s trust at risk…

Summer is in full swing, and even if your operations are busier than ever, your security ecosystem should be running smoothly. This July, we’re sharing the latest in commercial security. Take a look at our review of the new DSC PowerSeries Neo 5, see our mid-summer tech spotlight, and read feedback from facilities similar to yours. You’ll also meet some of the ASI team members working in the field this season.

Running a business on wheels means more security risks. Your vehicle holds valuable equipment, point-of-sale systems, inventory, and your livelihood. A break-in, stolen part, or sudden breakdown on a busy day can mean a major loss of income.

ASI Security Solutions uses Alarm.com Connected Fleet to address these challenges. By connecting commercial telematics to your vehicle’s diagnostic system, Connected Fleet brings together property protection and mobile asset management. It lets you manage your vehicles and headquarters from one app.

Following a complete power outage to the building, your DSC system may lose its internal clock settings. Keeping the time accurate is critical, as it ensures your digital audit trails and employee access logs are perfectly time-stamped.

The "Door Chime" alert is ideal for retail storefronts that need an audible alert every time a customer enters. However, if your keypad is near a busy employee breakroom, that same chime can quickly become an annoyance.

If an alarm was recently triggered, your keypad holds onto that memory so you can investigate before clearing it.

For years, commercial video surveillance has had a major problem: it mostly reacts after something has already happened.

Traditional camera systems are like silent record keepers. They watch from the sidelines, capturing hours of empty footage, and only become useful after a break-in, a liability claim, or vandalism has already happened. You show up in the morning, find the damage, and then spend hours searching through blurry video footage just to give the police a clip.

That is not real security. It is just keeping records.

Your commercial system relies on reliable power to keep your facility secure during outages.

When the system detects a maintenance issue, the Trouble indicator turns on, and the keypad beeps every 10 seconds. You do not need to guess what is wrong—the system will tell you.

Sometimes business operations require flexibility. Bypassing a zone allows you to arm your system while leaving a specific area intentionally unarmed—such as a loading dock receiving an overnight shipment—while the rest of the offices remain fully protected.

Step into the June edition of the ASI newsletter! Our team has been out in the field, uncovering fresh industry insights to stay ahead of the curve. This month, we’re excited to share our top discoveries from the ESX Expo in Texas, unveil the cutting-edge analytics of the new Alarm.com Prism Series cameras, and deliver the latest hands-on technical updates. And of course, you’ll find all the regular tips and updates!

Maintaining a secure audit trail means giving everyone their own code. Your DSC system offers pre-programmed "User Levels" so you can restrict access based on an employee's role.

Arming your building shouldn't be a source of stress at the end of a long shift. Your DSC keypad offers several specific modes to match how your facility operates on any given day.
