For the first time in a long time, I found myself stuck in traffic and that had me thinking back to the days when I had a full-time job, prior to the company I worked for going all the way bust. I definitely don’t miss being stuck in traffic and having the option to travel when peak hour traffic is not likely to be a factor is one of the perks of doing your own thing and being your own boss.
So anyway, a very interesting discussion came on the talk radio station I was tuned-in to, which kind of got me thinking about my next business venture.
They were talking about the private security industry around the world with a rather interesting spin on the topic, in the form of how security features are affecting the way in which modern day architecture is evolving. It’s not so much an issue over here at home, but go abroad and homeowners’ attitudes around safety and security definitely affect their architectural designs.
I would perhaps only like to get involved in the home security industry insofar as I can supply materials and not a step beyond that. Otherwise, it makes for a rather interesting observation looking at the effects modern-day security features, such as monitored alarms and cameras that are built into our buildings and homes.
Modern security techniques can be adopted on a digital level as well. Any business operating digitally has an equal threat online too. For that, one can explore security measures that can be implemented, including anti-virus and firewall protection, cloud encryption, VPN services, etc. To get the best service, you may have to check out review articles similar to norton vpn review.
Securing your building through CCTV and alarm system can be beneficial though, one of it’s effect is rather ironic. To say the least, it lures criminals in somewhat. It’s a bit like a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts in that the house that’s littered with very visible security features is the one which attracts burglars the most. It’s a simple matter of them being more interested in the more extensively secured house because of what they imagine is being kept so safe.
By no means am I suggesting that you need to double-down on your security or tone it down in any way, but it is indeed all about perception.
Attracting more unwanted attention is definitely an unintended consequence of modern-day security features which are indeed a necessity, another one of which unintended consequence is the explosive growth of the private security industry.
There are entire design and manufacturing plants that exclusively supply the home security industry, which would mean that they feed off the insecurity. Additionally and perhaps in a more direct manner, a person can even hire an armed protection company who offer services such as sending armed gaurds in conjunction with home alarm systems, so one can only imagine just how much bigger the market gets in that sense. Some homeowners would rather protect their home themselves, this includes having a registered firearm on their property. There are black gun owners who want to protect their homes, however, they must register their guns in case there is a break-in.
Then there’s the insurance industry covering household goods. I don’t think I have to discuss just how big any insurance industry can get, let alone the household goods insurance industry which deals with household items whose value perhaps depreciates the fastest of anything considered to be of value.
I just don’t know how comfortable I am getting into a business arena that relies on the fear of its customers though, so if I do venture into the private security industry, it’ll be a very slow and cautious entry into that market.
