Use Advanced Technology to Fulfill Your Security Plan
Vast sites with a great deal of traffic and activity, such as warehouses, distribution centers, and freight yards, can push security patrols to their limits. But adding more guards can substantially increase overhead costs. The Virtual Guard Platform represents a cost-effective alternative that complements your physical patrols and closes security gaps with self-sufficient, comprehensive security technology.
Challenge
Extend your security presence while reducing overhead
Large, complex environments often expose enterprises to security gaps that their current staffing cannot close. Adding more guards, however, can be expensive—and the larger the perimeter, the more costly the patrols, especially for 24/7 security of remote or complex environments. With each passing year, as wages, the cost of living, and workers’ compensation costs increase, labor costs continue to stretch budgets.
But building out CCTV camera installations with supporting monitoring stations can also be expensive, requiring a heavy capital expenditure in IT and infrastructure. Access to power, especially at the edges or in remote locations, may be difficult or impossible.
Connectivity may also be an obstacle. Failures in power or cellular signal strength can compromise visibility and/or response times.
Finally, novel solutions may be untested, compromising confidence in their ability to perform at precisely those moments when speed is most essential.
Solution
The Virtual Guard Platform closes gaps efficiently
With roots in physical security, we appreciate the value guards can bring. But we also recognize their limitations, especially on large sites that demand 24-hour protection.
That’s why ECAM has invested in developing a solution: the Virtual Guard Platform. This Platform closes workforce gaps through integrated technology and human expertise. Components include:
Site Assessment and Planning
Our Security Experts will review your site to identify and address areas with unmet security needs. To increase security while trimming costs, they will recommend the most appropriate mix of security technology, remote monitoring, and personnel for the specific requirements of your site.
Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs)
Instead of adding more guards, ECAM can bring flexible hardware platforms loaded with the most appropriate mix of lights, cameras, audio and other devices for your environment. Where electricity is not readily available, our MSUs can be equipped with solar panels and/or diesel generators.
Command Center
For complete, comprehensive coverage, our U.S.-based, UL-listed Command Center provides 24/7 remote monitoring by trained professionals. They continually review incoming video to identify potential threats, and can immediately contact law enforcement with verifying video evidence that elevates your security issue into a priority concern.
Backed by the global reach and experience of the GardaWorld family of security solutions, ECAM’s Virtual Guard Platform is prepared for rapid implementation at any scale.
