Reduce Guard Hours and Increase Security Through Technology

Expand Security Reach Without Adding Staff

Large operations of any kind mean big security challenges. But securing broad perimeters and complex environments with traditional patrols, 24/7, can be cost-prohibitive. Advanced surveillance and monitoring technologies can improve security while reducing costs—a win-win for safety and efficiency.

Challenge

Secure environments cost-efficiently

Many large institutions rely on professional staffing to provide security. But protecting complex environments that may have broad perimeters, multiple buildings, multiple entry points, and one or more parking lots can push staff to their limits.

Traditionally, options for improvement were either expensive or insufficient. Adding more patrols round-the-clock can be costly. Conventional cameras installations are also expensive, and monitoring their output requires a heavy capital expenditure in IT and infrastructure. Furthermore, access to power, especially along the perimeter 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 reliability is most essential.

Solution

ECAM’s Virtual Guard Platform combines human expertise and technology for efficient, effective security

Saving money does not have to mean compromising security. In fact, ECAM’s combination of sophisticated hardware and expert remote monitoring is not only less expensive than adding staff, but it is more effective at providing constant, ongoing security.

Our core solution, the Virtual Guard Platform, unites technology and professional oversight. The Platform includes:

Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs)

For hardware, ECAM has developed a mobile platform that can not only be moved into just about any location, but can also support a mix of camera types, lights, audio units, and more to meet the specific requirements of any site. No access to electricity? No problem; our MSUs can come equipped with solar panels and/or diesel generators to power themselves in even the most inaccessible environments.

Command Center

Our centralized, U.S.-based and UL-listed Command Center monitors your site all year round, 24/7, without interruption. Specially trained, our professionals watch for threats, intrusions and violations, and will immediately contact authorities with supporting visual evidence that encourages priority responses to your property.

Tailored Solutions

Every site is different. Our Security Experts will conduct a site assessment to identify needs and gaps, then create a custom design with the exact mix of MSU hardware and Command Center monitoring to provide the security you need, within the budget parameters you want.

Today, ECAM is part of the GardaWorld family of security solutions, allowing us to fulfill security requirements at any scale.
