Security systems for pharmacies
Legal and effective protection for pharmacies: alarms, video surveillance, and access control.
Pharmacies, high-risk establishments and mandatory security by regulation
Pharmacies are one of the establishments with the highest robbery rates in Spain. The reason is clear: they hold high-value medications, handle cash, and in many cases operate during night hours or on-call shifts with reduced staff. Spanish legislation recognizes this reality and establishes the express obligation to have approved security systems in pharmacy offices.
At NPS Seguridad we design and install security systems for pharmacies that protect the establishment, staff, and stock, while ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
NPS Seguridad comprehensive solution for pharmacies
Integrated video surveillance systems (CCTV)
Video surveillance is the fundamental pillar, acting as both a deterrent and an internal control tool against assailants and opportunists. To ensure comprehensive protection, the system combines optical devices (which can be installed visibly or hidden) in key areas, connected directly to an Alarm Receiving Centre with supervision 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
To ensure an effective response, the devices record in high resolution, allowing for quick incident reviews, providing conclusive evidence, and remote camera monitoring. The critical areas requiring priority and constant supervision are:
- Counter and checkout area: To monitor interaction with the public and ensure transparency in cash operations.
- Shelves and self-service areas: Strategic spaces to prevent and control commercial shoplifting.
- Warehouse and access areas: Continuous surveillance in the reception of goods and in areas restricted to staff to prevent intrusions.
Panic button
A device used in dangerous situations, especially during opening hours, night shifts, or in higher-risk locations. The button is installed discreetly in strategic positions, such as the counter or the checkout area.
Its operation is completely silent and, with just one click, it allows for a call for help during a robbery, assault, or risky situation, sending a direct and immediate signal to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) to activate the emergency protocol and provide urgent notice to the police.
The installation of this device makes the difference in critical moments, providing an immediate means of assistance when staff are unable to make a call or react in any other way.
Intrusion alarms with 24/7 ARC monitoring
In order to protect commercial facilities outside of opening hours, NPS implements an approved security solution that combines:
- Interior volumetric detectors.
- Magnetic contacts on doors and shutters.
- Glass break sensors in shop windows.
- Interior and exterior sirens to deter and alert the surroundings.
Access control and restricted areas
To ensure security in private areas of the pharmacy such as the warehouse, office, or laboratory, NPS integrates advanced access control and video surveillance systems, limiting passage exclusively to authorized staff and reducing internal or intrusion risks during shifts and goods deliveries through:
- Card readers or key fobs.
- Code keypads.
- Electronic locks integrated with the alarm.
- Anti-theft systems
In pharmacies located in high-risk areas, security can be reinforced by implementing advanced analytics technology, motorized optics, and superior quality cameras.
