Commercial Security And Maintenance

Commercial Security Systems & Maintenance

Practical, tailored commercial security and communications systems designed around your site, risks and infrastructure.

What is Commercial Security?

Commercial security brings together the systems used to protect and monitor a commercial property, rather than treating cameras, alarms and access control as separate installations. Depending on the site, a commercial security system can include CCTV, intrusion detection, alarms, access control, vehicle identification, recording, remote monitoring and the communications and network infrastructure connecting everything together.

Why Security is Important for Your Commercial Building

WA Police recorded 14,918 burglaries in Western Australia during 2024–25, including 4,616 non-dwelling burglaries. The same reporting period also recorded substantial levels of stealing from retail and other premises, highlighting the security risks faced by commercial properties.

Commercial sites often contain expensive equipment, inventory, vehicles, materials, intellectual property and other assets. They can also have employees, contractors, customers and vehicles entering at different times.

An appropriately designed security system can assist with:

  • Deterrence
  • Detection of unauthorised access
  • Incident investigation
  • Asset protection
  • Remote oversight
  • Access management
  • Vehicle identification
  • Operational monitoring
  • Providing recorded evidence following an incident

For businesses responsible for valuable assets, equipment and busy premises, practical commercial building security systems can support deterrence, detection, incident investigation and remote oversight.

Commercial Security Solutions We Offer

Effective commercial property security systems should be designed as integrated solutions rather than simply collections of cameras. Depending on the site, this can involve surveillance and intrusion detection, access control, vehicle identification, alarms, recording, remote monitoring and the underlying data and communications infrastructure connecting these systems. Once we’ve established your specific needs, we will tailor a security system using a combination of technologies and infrastructure, which may include:

  • CCTV and IP cameras
  • AI person and vehicle detection, including number plate recognition
  • Motion and intrusion sensors
  • Door and safe-opening sensors
  • Solar-powered or standalone cameras and equipment
  • 4G/5G connectivity
  • Starlink integration where appropriate
  • Wireless point-to-point communications links
  • Wi-Fi and network infrastructure
  • Data cabling
  • Alarm and alert systems
  • Access control
  • Intercom systems
  • Driveway and vehicle detection
  • Remote monitoring
  • Mobile phone alerts and remote viewing
  • Local and backup recording

Why 100 Solutions is Right for Your Commercial Security System

100 Solutions brings 45+ years of combined business and technical experience, including more than 20 years of technical experience across communications, data systems and security installations. Our approach is always site-specific. This is particularly relevant for larger commercial and regional installations because the performance of CCTV, access control and remote monitoring systems depends heavily on the network and communications infrastructure supporting them.

Our regional base in Corrigin and willingness to travel also allows us to service customers who can sometimes have difficulty obtaining specialist technical support outside metropolitan Perth. This is important in regional Western Australia, where challenges are unique: protecting a site kilometres away from the nearest occupied building, establishing communications where conventional internet services are unavailable, identifying an unknown vehicle entering a remote storage area, or allowing you to see what is happening at a facility without travelling there.

The commercial security system needs to be designed around the problem, the site and the available infrastructure, and our strength is combining security, communications and networking knowledge to develop practical solutions for individual sites.

Why commercial clients choose 100 Solutions:

  • 45+ years of combined business and technical experience
  • More than 20 years of technical experience
  • WA Security Licence 84891
  • Security, communications and networking expertise in one team
  • Experience across commercial, industrial and regional sites
  • Site-specific system design
  • Ongoing technical support
  • Willingness to travel for suitable regional projects

How it Works – 100 Solutions' Process

While each commercial security system we design is unique, our process generally involves the following:

1

Understanding the risks and operational requirements.

2

Assessing the premises and existing infrastructure.

3

Designing the security and communications solution.

4

Selecting appropriate equipment.

5

Providing a quotation and explaining the proposed system.

6

Installation, configuration and commissioning.

7

Testing cameras, sensors, recording, communications and remote access.

8

Customer handover.

9

Technical support and ongoing maintenance as required.

Commercial Security Solutions and Maintenance Costs

Costs for a commercial security system will vary depending on the scale and complexity of your facilities. Different factors that can impact cost include:

  • Number and types of cameras
  • Coverage area and cabling distances
  • Network infrastructure
  • Access control requirements
  • Analytics functionality
  • Recording capacity and retention requirements
  • Integration with existing systems
  • Communications requirements
  • Installation access and complexity
  • Required maintenance arrangements
  • Future expansion requirements

Where possible, systems should also be designed with future expansion in mind. The appropriate commercial security maintenance schedule will depend on the equipment, operating environment and importance of the system.

Other Industries We Cover

100 Solutions also designs tailored security and communications systems for rural and agricultural properties across regional Western Australia, as well as regional and metropolitan businesses. Our experience across different environments allows us to adapt the system to the site, infrastructure and operational requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maintenance is intended to ensure that the system continues operating as designed. Depending on the system and service arrangement, this can include checking cameras, recording equipment, sensors, network connections and communications links; firmware updates; troubleshooting; cleaning and adjusting cameras; checking system health and identifying components that may require repair or replacement.
Modern commercial security systems can combine cameras, sensors, access control and recording equipment with the communications infrastructure needed to connect and manage them. Events can be recorded locally or through other configured recording solutions, while authorised users can potentially receive alerts and remotely access the system through compatible devices.

For 100 Solutions, the priority is not adopting technology simply because it is new. We look at whether the technology solves a genuine problem for the customer and whether it will operate reliably in the Western Australian environment. Recent developments in security technology that we have found useful include AI-assisted video analytics, improved person and vehicle detection, number plate recognition, intelligent alerts, remote system access, integration between security and access-control systems and increasingly sophisticated remote connectivity.

Commercial security maintenance is important, but the appropriate maintenance frequency depends on the operating environment, the type of system and equipment installed. Sites exposed to dust, weather or harsh operating conditions, for example, may require more frequent inspection and cleaning than an indoor office environment.
Many modern CCTV, access-control and monitoring systems depend on data networks. Poor cabling, unreliable Wi-Fi or inadequate communications links can compromise an otherwise good security installation. Because 100 Solutions has extensive communications experience, we consider the network infrastructure as part of the overall security design.

In many cases, yes. However, this will depend on the equipment and condition of the existing installation. We can inspect an existing system and determine whether it can be supported, repaired, upgraded or integrated with newer equipment.
