BM’s Monitoring platforms provide clients with a unique integrated management system to monitor and control various functions such as: Alarm Systems, Access Control, CCTV surveillance, Security Personnel and Fire alarm systems on multiple sites, integrated into and controlled from one single user friendly application.
CCTV Surveillance
CCTV surveillance systems can be used on their own, however their effectiveness can be enhanced when integrated with other security solutions onto a single platform.
Access Control
Access Control as defined by its name provides controlled access into and out of a facility. In conjunction with CCTV the user is able to remotely identify and control access of vehicles and personnel. Coupled with IP cloud technology, multiple sites can be globally managed ensuring efficient use of manned personnel costs including monitoring Time & Attendance and traffic management.
Fire Systems
With the ever present threat of Fire, the integration of Fire detection systems (smoke detectors, alarms) with CCTV greatly reduces the risk of Fire spreading.
In the event of a fire alarm activation, its location instantly appears on monitoring screens. Activation of a live video stream allows verification of the presence of a fire and, if needed, other video streams can be selected directly from the floor plan. When a fire has been confirmed, a controller may initiate fire emergency procedures such as evacuation of personnel and notification of the Fire Brigade.
Alarm Systems
The use of integrated alarm solutions plays an important role in the overall security plan. When an alarm is activated the presence of intruders may be verified by video streams, the log file may track of the route followed and can be easily retrieved for future reference. Alarms integrated with CCTV enable Security personnel or users to assess the cause of activation and initiate appropriate response.
Security Personnel
At the heart of an integrated security system is an effective interface managed by highly skilled Control Room operators. The combination of Technology, People and Procedures culminates in a true integrated system. The ability to coordinate Security personnel and notify tenants by pinpointing breaches identified at Access Controlled points, Alarm activations, Fire detection and CCTV verifications is key to efficient security management of a facility.
The Client
With integrated solutions the client is able to have peace of mind from real time information, analysed reports generated from the system on standard PDA devices.
Why Integrated Security Solutions
The synergistic integration of CCTV, Access control, Alarms systems, Fire detection & Suppression, Security Officers into an integrated security solution increases the overall security of the facility and maximises asset protection and employee safety.
