Recently a family member of mine had their business broken into. The business was a small beauty supply store and every day after wrapping up operations my uncle would empty the register and leave it on the counter as a visual confirmation. Showing that there is no money to steal.

But last night someone broke into the business by smashing the front door window, thinking that there was money in the register, and left with only a few packs of nickels and quarters. My uncle only knew about the incident because the intruder also broke into another store in the same strip mall and they had an alarm that tripped to the police. Thus notifying both business owners about the incident.

My uncle does have security cameras aimed at the front door, the back isn’t really a concern due to it connecting with another business, but if the other business wasn’t hit and the alarm tripped. Then he would have never known about the break-in till the next morning. So now he is looking for a system that will protect his business if this ever were to happen again.

Do you guys have any suggestions on products/services that he could look at? Ones that offer:

• 24/7 monitoring
• Glass breaking/forced entry sensors
• Service that uses 4g/LTE (business doesn’t have wifi)

TLDR: Someone broke into my uncle’s business by smashing the front-door glass only to escape with a couple of coins. He wouldn’t have known about this incident if the same dude didn’t break into another business in the same mall right after that and had alarms contact the police. Now he is looking for security systems for peace of mind.
