Access control systems for companies include real time monitoring of doors left open

Police say all manner of public buildings, businesses and even road signs are being targeted for thefts and the problem will get worse if metal prices continue their startling rise. British Transport Police told the BBC website metal theft was on the increase. A BTP spokesman said: "It can be very difficult for businesses to be totally secure from theft, which can often involve copper piping bringing in gas to their premises or cables bringing in electricity."
