THINK YOU KNOW SMART SECURITY? THINK AGAIN
In an always-on environment, the protection of your people, property and assets is more important than ever. So why are so many still choosing to rely on inefficient security provisions that don’t offer the full coverage or support they need? SECOM Plc’s Smart Guarding solutions are specially designed to help businesses level up their security and
create a safer environment for everyone. Every business, regardless of size, relies on some form of security measure to remain operational. Whether it’s traditional CCTV, physical deterrents or manned guards, the need to protect your estate is omnipresent – and this is true for practically every sector or industry.
However, many organisations still mainly rely on manned guards to fulfil their requirements, ranging from security at the door of a retail store to one or two guards patrolling an entire estate unaided. Whilst these simple solutions certainly have a place – especially in deterring would-be thieves and vandals – they do not offer the level of protection necessary to guarantee maximum safety in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). That’s where SECOM’s Smart Guarding solutions step in.
A complete smart security solution SECOM Smart Guarding is an intelligent security solution fit for any business environment. With Smart Guarding, businesses can reduce their reliance on physical security measures in high-value areas – providing greater coverage at a reduced cost. Ultimately, this saves facilities management and procurement teams money across their property portfolio.
The solution is made possible by SECOM’s array of innovative products. This includes Virtual Guard, SECOM’s state-of-the- art visual systems, assisting in the fight against intruders and offenders, and highlighting unwanted site activity directly to SECOM’s SIA trained operators and escalating to police where applicable, as well as sophisticated CCTV cameras and image recording for increased clarity and possible future offender identification.
SECOM Smart Guarding also offers on-site IP Speakers and Microphones and a SECOM Smart Assist App. These are essential for the protection of front-line staff; helping us to de-escalate situations remotely, ensuring staff are removed from harm’s way wherever possible, as well as allowing staff to notify SECOM of a threat without drawing too much attention. The addition of a local 4G Secure Wireless Router also means that businesses can maximise their smart security solution without the need for additional or existing network infrastructure.
With this diverse product offering, businesses with large portfolios and estates can ensure every angle is covered.
Providing quality and cost-efficiency Manned guarding can be an extremely costly process, especially for multi-site enterprises. It places a significant logistical strain on business owners and facility managers, with guard rotas needing to be accounted for and continual

justification of manned guard spending to prevent any unnecessary wastage.
SECOM Smart Guarding was designed to alleviate these concerns by removing the need for a continuous physical presence on-site. With Smart Guarding, businesses can benefit from substantial savings, specifically in labour costs, by only utilising manned guards where they are needed most and relying on smarter solutions elsewhere. For example, having guards at major entrances, with smart solutions deployed across the other areas of the premises in need of dedicated protection.
What’s more, as the installation costs of SECOM Smart Guarding are relatively low, businesses can expect to see a return on their investment within four weeks or less when compared to the cost of manned guarding.
For businesses that need a flexible, effective 24/7/365 solution, installed and maintained by experts, SECOM Smart Guarding is the perfect solution.
