Latest Security Guard Technology

Nothing can take the place of a physical security presence at an event, retail outlet, residential complex, manufacturing plant, medical building or construction site. Security cameras can catch troublemakers and crooks on camera, but it takes a security guard to physically question and detain individuals who are behaving badly or worse, illegally.

That doesn't mean technology doesn't play a role in keeping a site and its contents safe. Visible security cameras can act as a deterrent and video feed can help identify criminals after a crime occurs. If the cameras provide 24/7 camera monitory for security details, any suspicious activity can be relayed immediately to onsite security guards.

GPS Tracking For Security. Another technological asset used by security guard companies such as Access Control Security is GPS tracking. GPS tracking and monitory for security guards provides a record of guard movement while on a client's premises to ensure that the guards are properly placed for maximum impact.

Some of the benefits of GPS tracking include:

• Provides dispatch with live feedback of where patrol staff and vehicles are at all times
• On-duty security officers are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• Ability for security guards to check in at designated checkpoints using a scanning tool
• Computerized system has the ability to send texts, photos, reminders, reports and alerts to offsite supervisors and onsite officers so there is constant, immediate communication
