The Pillars of Remote Guarding and Electronic SecurityToday’s Follow-up continues the theme of our Nashville meeting—the six pillars of Securitas Protective Services. We now focus on pillars three and four—Remote Guarding and Electronic Security. South Region President Ty Stafford and Technology Solutions Corporate Vice President Koldo Eceiza conducted an informative and interactive discussion about the features and benefits of these pillars to both our clients and Securitas.

Remote GuardingOur clients expect Securitas to provide value-added security programs that can enhance the protection of their people, property and assets, while simultaneously maintaining or even reducing their overall security costs. We have risen to this challenge by offering a suite of Remote Guarding services.

After conducting an Operational Analysis, we can recommend to our clients customized, real-time

security programs that combine video

cameras, video analytics, monitoring centers and security officers. Potential threats are detected by cameras and analyzed based on predefined criteria. When necessary, an operator is alerted who takes immediate action to prevent or minimize damage. We continually identify areas for creating efficiency both in preventing incidents and lowering resource demand.

Our Remote Guarding offerings include the following:

Remote Alarm VerificationAlarm Verification provides our clients with the shortest possible response time when an incident occurs. A live video feed instantly places a remote monitoring center operator on the scene. While authorities are responding, operators can provide critical real-time updates as the situation unfolds. Our operators also activate cameras, scan the premises and parking lots for unauthorized activity and potential threats, provide status updates, and deliver an audible message that security is monitoring in real-time.

Remote Employee EscortAs is the case with Securitas, our clients’ employees are their most valuable asset. Their safety can be jeopardized in many ways, such as earlier starting times and later quitting times due to increased responsibilities or seasonal workloads, recent incidents of unlawful activities, and procedures that require entry into sensitive areas of our clients’ facilities. Remote Employee Escort utilizes live video surveillance with audio notification to provide a safe environment as our clients’ employees arrive and depart the premises.

Remote Entry/Exit ManagementRemote Entry/Exit provides on-demand processing of authorized employees and visitors. Our remote monitoring center operators activate cameras and audio devices, scan the premises and follow the authorization protocol as determined by each client. We can carefully tailor perimeter monitoring for employee safety, procedure compliance and shrink reduction, including employee entry management of after-hours shipments through truck gates, vendor entry management of cleaning and maintenance crew activity, and back door supervision to help control shrinkage and other unauthorized activities.

Remote Patrol Video-based remote patrols form the basis of an all-encompassing security solution. Remote patrolling via strategically placed cameras gives our remote monitoring center operators the ability to monitor more consistently and cost-effectively than security officers alone. We inspect our clients’ premises and critical assets, monitor any suspicious activity, and help leverage the power of behavior modification to reduce security expenses over time.

Remote Perimeter ProtectionRemote Perimeter Protection helps to reduce both the number of incidents and security costs for our clients. We customize intelligent video analytics to automatically recognize potential threats before an incident occurs. We manage the entire process from technology, to remote monitoring center operators, to on-site response, allowing us to provide complete protection for one competitive monthly fee — with no major investment required. With the advantage of real-time security, break-ins, theft, vandalism and false alarms can all be greatly reduced. Our clients save money by eliminating unnecessary call-outs through intelligent software that can lower demand for an on-site presence.

Electronic SecurityBalancing the different skills and capabilities provided by technology and people is crucial to a well-designed security program. Over the last several years, we have invested tremendous resources to help ensure that we are leading the charge in bringing our clients well balanced security solutions.

Designing an effective security solution means reviewing the electronic security equipment and making determinations about its utility and state of repair. During our Operational Analysis, we may make observations about the access control, burglar and surveillance systems. Our comprehensive approach to Integrated Guarding means that we remain flexible in our analysis of our clients’

facilities and surrounding premises in order to design the right program that will best meet their security requirements.

Consultation/DesignAfter our analysis of the current system, we turn to the practical aspects. We offer recommendations for repair, service, relocation or addition of any security equipment in order to meet and advance the overall objectives of the security program. Because cost containment is also an important goal, we take into account proper staffing, scheduling and security personnel duties into the plan.

Installation• Access control

We provide system design, consultation, installation, service and maintenance to help clients with their access control requirements. Whether a client needs to restrict access to sensitive areas within the workplace, regulate the flow of people across a site or manage the safe movement of a crowd, Securitas helps ensure our clients receive maximum benefit from our access control and visitor management systems.

• Fire and Burglar

Securitas is partnered with industry leaders to provide fire and burglar response services. Our collective experience and capability in installing and/or monitoring these systems is among the best in the industry. We can address our clients’ needs for services or systems related to:

•Burglar alarms

• Motion detection• Door/window sensors• Monitoring and response

•Fire Alarms

• Installation• Maintenance• Monitoring and response

Video surveillanceDeciding whether to upgrade to IP, or use analog with encoders, may be part of the challenge. We work closely with our clients to help them decide how and who they want to access the cameras, and what and when they should cover. Some applications require very high definition cameras, whereas others are well served with lower resolution and less expensive models. We can assist in these decisions as well, based on the overall security program requirements, and then help design, deploy and maintain the right system as needed.

Service and Maintenance:We offer a full 36 month maintenance program which includes two visits per year and equipment repairs on all systems which we install. However, our clients may also need a maintenance or service program for current systems, which we can design as well. Typically these programs include:

• Cleaning, adjusting and testing camera and access control systems.

• Checking and updating software and firmware on various access control and VMS systems.

• Checking and assisting in management of data storage and bandwidth usage.

However, sometimes systems fail. Our technicians can assist both remotely and on-site. Service programs are customized to client requirements and offer the level of service as required. We offer flat monthly rates to make security budget planning easier as well.
