UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / February 04, 2021 / STANLEY Security, one of the UK’s leading security providers, has launched STANLEY Interactive, a smart business solution enabling bars & restaurants to manage all their security systems from a single, easy to use app.

Designed specifically for small and medium sized businesses whose owners are frequently time poor, STANLEY Interactive provides a fast, cost-effective means of managing business security – intruder detection, CCTV, lights and more - whether on-site or at home. 

STANLEY Interactive provides professional grade security which is incredibly easy to use, from as little as £35.00 per month. Customers simply choose from one of three straightforward packages to get started: Intruder Detection, Video Surveillance (CCTV) or Total Security which provides both intruder detection and video surveillance with additional smart features. Further devices can be added as required. STANLEY Security supplies, installs and maintains the equipment, with the customer managing the systems through the handy STANLEY Interactive app. For an added layer of protection, STANLEY Security also offers a 24/7 monitoring service, through its own professional central station that can dispatch emergency services or alert the business owner.

Unlike traditional security systems, STANLEY Interactive keeps bar & restaurant owners informed about their property at all times and enables them take action when required. 

With loss prevention a major issue for bars & restaurants, and with research suggesting that up to 75% of shrinkage is due to insider theft, video surveillance in particular is becoming increasingly popular. Video surveillance is a proven crime deterrent and is highly effective in identifying a culprit and providing evidence if the crime is to be reported to the police. According to latest crime statistics, video surveillance is useful in about 65% of crimes where footage was available. The STANLEY Interactive Video Surveillance package enables business owners to view live and recorded footage from multiple sites at any time and from anywhere. A secure, 24/7 cloud recording option provides a further benefit in that it eliminates the need for additional hardware, instead providing reliable, cloud-storage that cannot be disabled by employees or damaged if the site experiences a fire or flooding. 

STANLEY Interactive provides added value beyond security by providing valuable business insights, enabling bar & restaurant owners to improve productivity. June 2019’s Business Confidence Survey from CGA - a data and research consultancy specialising in the out of home food and drinks market – shows that 91% of leading pub, bar and restaurant business leaders consider technology to be important in improving employee productivity. However, the cost of such technology is frequently a barrier to adoption. With STANLEY Interactive’s Video Surveillance package, this comes at no extra cost.

Incorporating cameras with data analytics as standard, STANLEY Interactive provides data on footfall, for example, to help determine the busiest times of day to ensure optimal staffing and can even be used to track the success of a campaign. Such business insights can be delivered in the form of daily and weekly reports and can make a considerable difference in the running of a business.
