The safety of your security team is a priority. But how can you protect them? With the right tools, including body cameras, two-way radios and CCTV surveillance you are ensuring they can do their job in safety.
Body cameras are a great way to record interactions with the public. This will keep everybody significantly safer as cameras will deter much of the anti-social behaviour that results in violence. The camera can also be used to record training sessions, which is helpful if you need to review how your team handled certain situations or if you want them to see what their own performance looked like from an outside perspective.
Two-way radios are an essential tool for any security team, but they can be difficult to get right. It's important to choose the right equipment and make sure that every member of your team has access to one. Two-way radios allow you to communicate with each other without having to speak over the phone or in person. This is especially helpful if you're patrolling different areas of your facility at once, or if there are multiple teams working on different projects at once and need quick access to information about what's going on around them. They allow members of the team to communicate with each other from far distances, upwards of 5km, which helps them stay safe while patrolling in dangerous areas or responding quickly when there's an emergency call-out.
This is the most common form of security for buildings, and it can be used to monitor both the perimeter of your building or the inside of your building. Monitoring and recording activity to keep your team safe.
Motion detectors are often set up in high-traffic areas like entrances and exits, where they will pick up changes in temperature or movement within their range. They can be used to detect intruders, or they can be set up to trigger an alarm when a person enters the range of the sensor. Motion detectors often come in two forms: passive infrared motion detectors and microwave motion sensors. Passive infrared motion detectors use infra-red light to detect changes in temperature within their range. Another layer of security for your team.
We hope this has given you some insight into the importance of protecting your security team. It's not just about them being safe; it's also about ensuring they can do their jobs effectively and efficiently. With the right tools like body cameras, two-way radios and CCTV surveillance systems, you can help prevent accidents as well as reduce stress on both your employees and clients by making sure everyone stays safe while on duty.
